By Aaron Hu

This fall, brides everywhere are looking for innovative ideas to incorporate into their weddings. They want to find decorations, menus, and gifts that will help make their special day all the more unique and unforgettable for everyone that attends. This can be a monolithic task and it requires not only the planning of the bride, but the cooperation of the families of the bride and groom and friends participating in the wedding to pull it off. One of the key things a bride needs to focus on are unique wedding favors. These are gifts to thank guests for coming to the wedding and also souvenirs to remind them of the good time they had. If a bride uses the Fall season as a theme it becomes all the more important to find unique items that are great gifts and also represent the theme effectively so to constantly remind guest of the wedding long after the vows have been exchanged. If you are one those brides looking to have an exceptional fall wedding, here are some great ideas for unique fall wedding favors.

The first thing to decide is what type of Fall theme you want to have your gifts and ceremony based on. Fall has many different aspects to it so it is difficult to have a generic fall theme. For this reason many brides try to focus on one or two characteristics of autumn for their themes. Here are examples of some of them. There is the nature theme which focuses on the natural beauty of the fall season. This focuses on the changes plants and animals go through with the autumn season. Another aspect is the harvest theme. This focuses on the human side of fall with motifs of farms gathering in the ripe fruit and vegetables that fall provides. There are also themes linked with Autumn holidays such as Halloween and Thanksgiving. Deciding upon a fall theme helps to narrow down the favor choices for a bride so that she can focus on effective types of presents to give to her guests.

It is also important to choose gifts that will have some use for your guests. This is important because many traditional wedding favors are mostly temporary items that will be shortly tossed aside as garbage or junk except by the most dedicated collectors. Some great options are bath sets, grooming, kits, photo frames, and personalized cups and water bottles. The point is that a gift that can be used regularly is likely to be kept and if it is, it will be a constant reminder of the great time they enjoyed at the wedding.

A great tip for choosing fall wedding favors is to find new interpretations of traditional motifs. A great example are wine bottle stoppers. They traditional bottle stopper would probably have a carved leaf or apple at the end. However there are more novel bottle stoppers that are made of copper and have a 3 cutout of a leaf. The design is innovative blends perfectly with any fall theme. The same can found when looking for traditional favor items like figurines, picture frames, or even edible favors

Presentation is also key. Try to find great looking favor boxes that will be sure to be enjoyed by the guests. Try to find containers that match the fall motif in interesting ways. If you choose properly the containers themselves will be cherished as great mementos of your special day. - 30544
