If you are in the process of choosing your wedding favours, stop and read this before you go any further.

Despite the huge range of wedding favours out there to buy, very few brides actually get it right. The key is to purchase elegant wedding favours.

Elegant wedding favours really set the theme for the whole day and so choosing the right ones is paramount. Truly elegant wedding favours are different yet classic and modern yet traditional. For example silver wedding favours give wedding a sense of opulence and class. By the same token, monogram wedding favours [that have the initials of the bride and groom on them] also represent exquisite taste. So too do plain, simple soap wedding favours.

As stated previously, silver wedding favours give the occasion a sense of class and generosity. Whereas gold wedding favours can look a little over-the top, silver has a regal yet understated feel. You can choose silver wedding favours that are plated [very luxurious] and these come in a variety of forms such as silver-plated salt and pepper shakers, letter openers, corkscrews, heart-shaped measuring spoons, bottle stopper and corkscrew sets and place card holders.

However, silver plated favours may not be for you, but to ensure you offer your guests elegant wedding favours, why not stick to the silver theme and go for silver-coloured favour boxes filled with silver dragees? The Silver Corrugated Butterfly Boxes look fantastic on beautifully set out wedding reception tables.

Why not make stunning bomboniere from 2-tone Duo Cristal Collection nets? Instead you could place favours in silver organza bags or finish bridal party gifts off with organza centre stripe silver coloured ribbon. Tables can be scattered with silver hollow heart confetti and to continue with the decadent feel, fill glasses with handfuls of small silver chocolate buttons! Sheer debauchery!

Elegant wedding favours do not have to be silver plated though, in fact, it is the understated wedding favour that often wins the day. Wedding favour soaps are rapidly becoming a very classy choice. There is something very pure about offering guests a soap favour, especially if it is a white or ivory soap. An ideal choice for a spring or summer wedding, particularly if encased in a pretty favour box or a co-ordinating drawstring organza bag.

A soap favour will more than likely be a gift that guests will want to display in their homes rather than use and therefore think of the happy couple each time it is seen.

Of course, when considering elegant wedding favours we cannot forget the beauty of a monogram wedding favour. This is probably because the initials of the bride and groom are inscribed or printed somewhere on the item which gives the favour an overall regal feel. It is believed that the use of monograms on items originates from the royal family, which is why monogram wedding favours are exceptionally beautiful.

When choosing wedding favours remember this - if you want elegant wedding favours to knock the socks off your guests, less is quite often more.
