FAVORS OR NO FAVORS?

As the old saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." The same could be said about wedding favors.

On one hand, your guests have dedicated their time and money to come celebrate you, and something that says "thank you" should be in order. But finding a creative way to do so is a challenge many couples find themselves facing during the wedding planning process.

Some of today's weddings are going beyond the traditional box of candy or chocolate in each place setting, leaving guests with a more fun, yummy or feel-good kiss goodnight. Here are a few ideas to consider:

Photo or GIF Booth

Give your guests a tangible and photographic reminder of the fun they had on your Big Day by providing a photo or GIF booth. It's a compact, easy gift (and an often wallet-friendly option for you) to leave your guests with. Bonus points: You can leave cutouts of your faces as props to add a more personal touch.

TALAR'S STORY: BRIDAL HAIR ACCESSORIES

I didn't know there were so many different kinds of headpieces. Ones with a comb, another called a "necklace", a tiara, a headband, and the list goes on. After looking around for a bit, I decided I wanted a necklace headpiece, a thin round, very simply embellished headpiece. It wasn't until I saw the piece that I bought that I fell in love with the headband. The downside was that I would have to change my hairstyle because of the size of the headpiece, but I'm sure the experts at Chateau De Luce would take care of that!

Our wedding date, July 03, 2016, is getting closer and closer! The next big event before my wedding is my bridal shower and I couldn't be more excited! My mom is hosting my bridal shower for me and she let me choose the theme and venue. I'm really excited to see how things pan out.
