The Far East holds many mysteries and beauties in its culture which you must consider in selecting you Asian wedding favors. Evening garden weddings are filled with romance and mystery as the ceremony unfolds under a starlit sky. These exotic qualities represent a theme like no other.
That strange and exotic mood permeates the scene and brings closeness to all who attend the wedding. With thousands of guests attending the Asian wedding and the number of celebration days, the Eastern wedding is very different from the weddings of the West.
The colors to emphasize at your Asian wedding are deep reds, rich yellows, and elaborate golden hues. Your Asian wedding favors should mimic these colors. Please bear in mind that white, navy and black should not be used.
“Chinese Tapestry” is the lovely name for a candle that can be given as a wedding favor. Unlike other candles, this Oriental treasure is red in color and it is a masterpiece. Packaged it with the red organza and the “double happiness” gift tag says it all…elegant and traditional.
Other choices you have include small green candles and plumeria-scented candles. These candle favors can also be used as the place card holders at the wedding and after your guests return home.
Symbols are especially important in the Asian wedding. Use of the OM and dragons are essential. In the garden wedding you must include the motifs of Nature. Use her leaves and flowers and petals to enhance your Asian wedding favors. One lovely and elaborate Asian wedding favor is the “Double Happiness Box” shown off with its shiny gold bow.
Another impressive and important design of Eastern culture is silk. Your wedding favors that depict your wedding as Eastern (Chinese or Japanese) will become very elegant keepsakes for your guests. Notebooks covered in brocade, purses and boxes showing off lovely silk brocades are all very wonderful Asian wedding favors. Imagine a gift of beautifully decorated chopsticks in cherry blossom design.
Green is an important symbol in Asian culture. Use the color green as a symbol for your Asian garden wedding and make being “green” the message of your eastern wedding favors. Choose seed packets and miniature watering cans. You also have a choice of chocolates shaped like leaves or beautifully crafted perfume bottle stoppers made of glass and shaped like flowers. Your Asian wedding favors will be remembered for years to come!
