Elaborate Your Love With Asian Wedding Favors

Combine the exotic, the romantic and the green with Asian wedding favors and garden wedding favors. The diversity of traditions and lure of the Far East gives you ample opportunity to come up with creative and unique wedding favors. There is always something inherently mysterious about these marriage traditions. Garden settings also make great venues for any Asian wedding or theme party.

But the feeling always is to spin a mysterious web of love among the families and friends of the couple. Asian weddings are also known to span several days at a time with guests being invited by the thousands making them so much more elaborate than weddings in the West.

The colors at Asian weddings too, are deep reds, golds and yellows. It is a good idea to keep these things in mind when you want to match your favors with the Asian wedding theme or a garden venue setting.

Candles are possibly the most apt garden themed favors or Asian wedding favors. Candles make for great romantic dinners beneath the open sky in an evening setting. In the Eastern traditions, the importance of candles can hardly be emphasized more.

As rich as the Orient traditions is the 'Chinese tapestry' votive candle. The deep-red wax 'work of art' is accented with vibrant red organza and 'double-happiness' tag. The red braid ending in two large, gold-thread-trimmed tassels makes this Asian wedding favor just too awesome to resist. It comes for $2.02 per piece. For your garden wedding favors, you can give away tiny green candles or the 'perfect pear' pair of candles. There are also the 'Plumeria' floral scented candles with ceramic candle holders that make perfect Asian or garden themed favors.

Symbolism is also an intrinsic part of Asian wedding themes. Symbols for garden wedding favors need to be based on Nature like leaves, petals and flowers, but for the Asian theme, you will need symbols like circles, the Om and dragons etc. A sweet Asian favor gift that actually would make an interesting garden favor gift too is the 'Double Happiness' box that has a rich, red and gold, tapestry like design. The box is beautifully accented by a metallic-gold bow.

Silk is another Eastern motif that can be used in brocade purses and boxes, notebooks, bookmarks and key rings. If you really want to get Japanese or Chinese, impress your guests with silk fans and a pair of intricately designed chopsticks in cherry blossom colors. Your guests will love these fancy keepsakes as wedding guest gifts.

Green is also a popularly used color in Asian traditions. For a garden wedding favor you can combine the Asian gift idea with the green. Or, maybe, pick up stuff like packets of seeds and an assortment of chocolates for your green favors. Purses, 'blooming flower' bottle stoppers, miniature water cans, flower motif place card holders and more will make your guests remember you always and the wedding party a memorable one.
