Jam Wedding Favours {Wedding Decoration Inspiration #WW}

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Gemma

Mini pots of jam can make unique wedding favours. When choosing your wedding favours try to pick something which reflects you both as a coulpe or your style of wedding. It is important to choose something you think your guests will enjoy, there is nothing worse than seeing wedding favours left on the tables after your wedding.

At The Wedding of my Dreams we have these cute mini jams for wedding favours. Our favours come in a set of three. You get a strawberry jam, a raspberry jam, and a honey. They are all Bonne Maman jams and have red polka dot lids. Each lid has a cute message for your guests, reading ‘You’re the jam in my sandwich’, Bee happy’ and ‘You’re a sweetie’. We love them!

These mini jam and honey wedding favours are perfect if you don’t have the time to make your own. If red polka dot isn’t your colour you could always finish them off by adding your own choice of fabric over the lid tied with string or ribbon.

Wedding Table Decorations {Jugs}

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Gemma

Have you thought of using jugs for your wedding table decorations? Jugs can make simple and cost effective wedding table decorations. Use them as wedding centrepieces, ceremony decoration and continue the theme by spacing jugs out along your top table. wedding table decorations jugs

If you like the idea of jugs for your wedding table decorations ask your florists’ advice. Wedding florists often have jugs they can loan you, but you can always buy your own, that way you can keep them after or give away your wedding centrepieces as gifts for special wedding guests.

DIY Centrepieces ~ Jugs

If you are tackling your own wedding flowers or getting help from your bridesmaids or mum then jugs as your wedding table decorations are an easy option.

Select country style flowers and greenery, hydrangeas and English garden roses fill the jugs well and perhaps add lisianthus or delphiniums for some height.The beauty of using jugs for your wedding table decoratoins is that the flowers are able to sit in water so can be prepared a couple of days in advance and are easy to transport to the wedding venue.

Are you having jugs at your wedding? We’d love to hear how you’re using them.

At The Wedding of my Dreams we have a range of jugs for your wedding table decorations pop to the shop to find out more.

Keys {Wedding Decoration Inspiration #ww}

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Gemma

Have you thought of using keys are part of your wedding decorations? Here at The Wedding of my Dreams we think they look beautiful. Use antique keys, or keys which have a special meaning to you, maybe they open a door to a special place or open an old family jewellery box.

If you are going to use keys as part of your wedding decoration they could be incorporated into your grooms button holes. If you have a special key use this for your groom, and other antique looking keys for the rest of your male bridal party.

{Keys as wedding decorations: Lavender and Twine}

Hang keys from branches planted in a pot or bucket and make your own wedding table decorations, they would make lovely wedding centrepeices, alternatively use these mini trees as wish trees.

Keys also add unique touches to escort cards, if you’ve not come across escort cards before they are similar to table plans. Each guest has an individual escort card with their table number on the back, often guests can choose where they sit on that table. Make your escort cards by tying keys with ribbon to your luggage tags.

What do you think of this idea? Would you use keys in your wedding decorations? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
