Unique Ideas To Display Your Summer Wedding Favors
When and how you display your summer wedding favors depends on what they are. The exciting part is that it is your big day, and you can get as creative as you want. However, you want the display to be unique and eye-catching since it is a summer wedding.. Want your day to end on a high note? Consider the following exciting ways to display your wedding favors.
Paper Bags
Are you looking for a simple display with a personal touch for your guests? Instead of other extravagant options, why not go for a cute paper bag display? This is an excellent way to package edibles like customized cookies, candies, and other yummy treats, and for a personal touch, you can have your names written on the bags.
Vintage Boxes
If you have a rustic wedding theme, you can also extend that to your display table by adding vintage vanity boxes. Other couples also use thrifted or rented furniture; you will be admired for how the boxes add a touch of style to your event.
Wooden Stand
You can never go wrong with a wooden stand serving as a display for your wedding favors. Wood creates a rustic feel, adding a unique touch to your summer wedding. You can go for wooden shelves, steps, or ladders; anything with a vintage or rustic look will do. These work for almost any type of wedding favors, from wine bottles to reusable drinkware or even edibles.
Geometric Design
Imagine a wedding reception with a geometric display of wedding favors as the focal point. They may be aluminum structures or golden geometric stands with intricate designs serving as shelves for your wedding favors. This may be a display for honey jars or small wine bottles.
DIY Display
Do you pride yourselves on being creative with an eye for detail and the ability to customize a display? You can create a personalized shelf or display on your own, especially a wooden one, and customize it by painting it your wedding colors or adding your wedding flowers. You can also top that off with a handwritten sign to thank your guests for coming.
Repurposed Display
Did you know you can repurpose a ladder into a stunning display for your wedding favors? Just take a conventional ladder, add wooden planks on the rungs, and use that to prop gifts like succulent plants, edibles, and other wedding favors.
Floral Decor
A summer wedding features the most vibrant flower arrangements; you can do the same with your favorite display. A display with floral arrangements makes for the perfect focal point of the event, and no one will miss it. The guests will love how stunning the flowers look as a backdrop and will appreciate how thoughtful you are.
Neon Sign Wall
The neon sign trend is making waves in modern weddings, and you can incorporate that into your display. You can pull this off by hanging the neon signs on a wall and hanging the wedding favors under the sign.
Green Table/Wheelbarrow
If you are a green couple and your friends love plant life, seed packets are a unique idea for eco-friendly wedding favors. You can set these up in a wheelbarrow or a green table, especially if it’s a rustic wedding; you will love how the decor will scream charming cottage core aesthetics.
Table With Personal Additions
Here is where you let your imagination and creativity run wild. You can have a simple table but add pizzazz to it with personal touches like the couple’s pictures, dramatic arrangements of the wedding favors, a handwritten sign, personalized thank you notes or any other additional touch that can convert a simple table into a breathtaking display stand.
Woven Baskets
Like any other decor, woven baskets make your wedding favors look better and more organized. You can also make the baskets match the wedding colors and the theme. For instance, if it’s a beach wedding, you can use straw baskets or metallic ones for a rustic and modern look.
To-Go Snack Packages
If you plan to pack edibles or snacks for your guests to munch on their way back home, consider to-go packages. You won’t have to worry about plates and napkins because the snacks will be in convenient, ready-to-eat packaging.
Clothespin Lines
Hanging on clothespin lines is another display that serves as a unique decor or artwork piece. If the favors are thin and light, maybe your Polaroid pictures or pictures with the guests, you can display them on the lines. You can also get crafty with this display by setting up a drying rack on a panel.
Cart
Perfect for vintage-themed summer weddings, a cart can also display your favors. Find one that matches the wedding theme and colors and use it to carry your favors, especially edibles like to-go snacks. Carts are ideal focal points for your wedding, and you can get creative with the cart colors and designs.
Shelves
Do your wedding favors need to stand upright? Maybe you are handing out wine/ champagne bottles and want them displayed as decor at the venue. Bookshelves will do the trick as they work as both displays and decor for your wedding. You can even add hanging plants or flowers for more flair.
Wrap Up
Wedding favors are a crucial part of the event; it is a chance to thank your guests for honoring your invitation and gracing your ceremony. You want everyone to leave with a gift and make the entire summer wedding memorable for them. That’s why you need to display your summer wedding favors in a unique yet eye-catching way that no one will miss. Luckily, there are so many creative ways to go, and you can let your creativity and style show, all while sticking to the theme of the summer wedding.
