I’ll be your dream
I’ll be your wish
I’ll be your fantasy.
I’ll be your hope
I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do…

These lines from the famous song by Savage Garden would truly entice your love on your wedding day dance. A special thing that will promise the endless love is the wedding ring you present. The wedding ring is a symbol your dedicated love and the care you want to give. The ring is to be chosen so as to express your concern but it shouldn’t be too detailed as to eclipse the engagement ring.

The wedding ring is special as it is worn for the rest of your life. Hence it should be carefully chosen. The first thing is to prioritize the type of metal that you want. For men, hard metals are preferred like gold, titanium etc and for girls, white gold, silver and platinum are elegant choices. A wedding ring could be a plain simple ring or can be studded with gems, diamonds or can be designer.

A simple plain gold ring has been in vogue over the years and still continues to be so. Diamond rings are the latest craze and diamond branding has added to its immense popularity. Diamonds are found in different colours and cuts. You can choose the styles as per your budget and need. The latest trend is the titanium wedding rings. They are more durable than gold or silver wedding rings and are thus preferred for men. Titanium can also hold precious gems and diamonds with more durability and hence is a logical option to opt.

Wedding rings can be purchased online with host of websites offering unique designs and styles. All forms of wedding rings are available which can suit varied budgets and requirements. Online jewellery shopping is logical as you can go through thousands of rings and can narrow down on your choice. Selecting a ring online is easier as there are umpteen options available and you can browse through all of them at the same time. You can also compare the rings and know the best one for you. It is important to give you accurate ring size and you should get it measured by a professional. Whatever form of ring or design you take it should be presented with a special vow which will charm your love for life.

Choosing wedding favours is difficult at the best of times, the sheer variety on offer to suit almost every occasion, taste and colour scheme can seem overwhelming. Oh yes, and then there’s the new mother-in-law’s disturbing offer to “make” the wedding favours herself playing with your mind!

However there are some simple questions you can ask yourself to help you choose the right wedding favour for your biggest of big days:

Are the wedding favours part of a theme and/or colour scheme?

Answering yes will limit your choices but may make it easier to choose as a result. For instance, if you choose an ivory theme with calla lilies, ivory favours would look great especially if you introduce a contrasting colour, perhaps to match the bridesmaids dresses or a particular colour scheme present at the venue. Furthermore, you could make life even easier and opt for calla lily chocolate dragee flowers in ivory and you have a great ready-assembled favour to match your theme!

Are the wedding favours for you or your guests?

It seems like an obvious answer, but think about it. You want your wedding favours to say something about your day and give your guests something to remember your wedding by. In my experience, wedding favours which can be consumed or used on the day are always more popular than keepsake type favours which instantly accumulate dust in a drawer after the wedding. So give your guests a special surprise on the day just to add to their magical experience.

How much will you spend on wedding favours?

Wedding favours can cost as much or as little as you like, look to spend around two to three pounds (four to five dollars) for a great wedding favour. Remember to ask the supplier for samples and don’t be afraid to ask for a discount when making large orders. The worst they can say is “no” but if they say “yes” you can save yourself some money, which is no bad thing in the wedding planning process.

What makes a good wedding favour and what do my guests and I like?

In my experience confectionary, namely chocolate, wins every time. Chocolate looks goods, tastes great, everyone likes it and comes in a huge variety of colours and forms, for example, chocolate dragees are just perfect. Your guests can appreciate the effort and thought you have put into a well designed favour and can eat them as an after wedding breakfast treat.

Why bother with wedding favours?

Your guests expect them and besides it’s a tradition. Some may have travelled thousands of miles to be with you and spent precious time and money. This is your way to show how much they mean to you on your special day.
