#1 Ribbon Wands

Provide guests with ribbon wands at your wedding to complement the wedding theme for a lovely sendoff. Expert tip: Ribbon wands are appropriate for any season. They stand out more in the spring/summer season when many couples plan outdoor gatherings. Ribbon wands are also a lovely accessory for flower girls.  

#2 Wedding Map

By providing a wedding map, you can ensure that your guests know how to get to all of the wedding celebration events you’ve planned. Wedding maps can be made in almost any style and to fit almost any budget.

Wedding maps are ideal for sharing the locations and details of the ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner…  

#3 Wedding Piñata

This isn’t the piñata you remember from your childhood birthday parties. Piñatas for weddings are available in a variety of beautiful and stylish colors, designs, and themes that are suitable all weddings. Fill your wedding piñata with small wedding favors, candy, or even small plastic alcohol bottles.

#4 Golden Theme

Gold has been used in some of the most beautiful wedding themes we’ve seen. Gold is a beautiful color for a wedding because it gives off an easy, elegant, and formal vibe without being overly dramatic. Expert tip: To finish off this stunning wedding theme, incorporate gold candle holders, gold linens, gold plates, and gold barware.  

#5 Secret Garden Wedding

With an enchanted garden wedding theme, invite guests to celebrate your wedding day. A one-of-a-kind garden wedding will be created with romantic flowers, intimate candlelight, and a stunning location. Expert tip: Of course, the secret garden wedding theme works best in the spring and summer, when flowers are in full bloom and outdoor venues are plentiful. Adding dramatic candlelight, an abundance of flowers, and dazzling table décor you create a secret garden theme. Botanical gardens, arboretums, and estates are all excellent places to hold a secret garden wedding.

But it is something that more and more couples are doing. The possibilities for what you can put in them endless,  therefore you can also customize a wide range of containers.
