How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Bombonieres or Wedding Favors

There are so many details which go into planning a wedding, but sometimes it is those little decorations that can become annoying. Trying to find the perfect wedding bombonieres or favors can be trying and sometimes just downright frustrating.
Things such as wedding table decorations and personalized wedding favors can be very expensive and knowing where to buy them without blowing your budget is important. Of course, your guests are going to notice every smallest detail and you both want everything to be perfect. There are some easy ways to get great table decorations for weddings without sacrificing your budget.
You want to remember that your wedding reception decorations should suit the theme and the mood of your wedding. This will help you determine what types of candles, flowers and other small items are necessary for your decorations.
Remember too, to get your wedding favors to match your color scheme. Plus they will need to be small enough that they don't take up too much room on the table. Choose decorations which can be set up quickly on the day of your wedding, or you could delegate this job to a trusted family member.
Guests love to take their wedding favors or bombonieres home with them. Personalized place markers engraved with the guests name are good. Other ideas include small pots and baskets filled with flowers, colored stones, small bath soaps and even herbs. They all add color and pizazz to the table and make great mementos.
If you have a friend who is creative why not get them to stencil a picture of the bride and groom onto a candle or even a small box. This makes a personalized wedding favor which any guest would treasure for years to come.
If you are having a sit down reception then you should have one large flower or candle arrangement on each table. A fun idea is to mark one chair before the reception begins and that guest gets to take home the centerpiece. You can easily mark the chair with a ribbon or chalk mark.
If you have guests that will be bringing small children with them, then get some crayons and place mats that can be colored. The children will be kept busy coloring while their parents socialize.
You don't have to buy expensive wedding table decorations. Go to any large dollar store and you will have a wide assortment of colorful vases, jars, soaps, beads and candles from which to choose. Just use your imagination to jazz them up and you will have some great personal, yet affordable wedding favors.
