All That Glitters With Silver And Gold Wedding Favors

For wedding favors with a touch of luxury you cannot go wrong with choices in silver and gold. The best thing is they do not need to cost the earth and add a nice touch of sparkle to your tables.

You will find a range of different wedding favors in silver and gold at favor stores and choices range from silver or chrome plated items to gold colored almonds and candies. The best thing is that you can easily get away with mixing the two colors together as well to get the best of both worlds! Here are a few ideas for silver and gold favors for your wedding guests:

• Confectionary: sugar coated almonds and chocolates are available in a range of colors, but look particularly good in silver and gold. Put them in pretty tulle wraps or clear plastic boxes to show them off to their full effect.


• Chocolates: look for luxury chocolates wrapped in silver or gold paper/foil and present them on pretty silver colored plastic trays which are available from wedding favors stores. You can also get chocolates which have been dusted with edible gold powder.


• Cakes: mini cakes and cupcakes have and continue to be very popular both as wedding favors and as a substitute for a formal wedding cake. You can decorate them simply with a silver or gold colored chocolate or almond, or have them more elaborately decorated with edible gold leaf, powders and icings. Have them presented in silver or gold cake cases or wrappers.


• Cookies: just as with cakes you can have custom cookies made and decorated with silver and gold colored icings.


• Candies: although it may be harder to find candies in metallic colors, you could substitute with yellow, orange and clear colored candies. Try mixing colored candies in your wedding colors with chocolates sugar coated in silver and gold and present them in clear plastic boxes.


• Chrome Plated Favors: favor stores are full of chrome plated goods such as bud vases, photograph frames, coasters and bottle stoppers to name but a few. Some items may also be available in a gold colorways, however creating goods in gold coloring can be more expensive than creating them in silver which is why silver colored items are more common.


• Packaging: if you want to use a different style of wedding favors then you can still coordinate your packaging in silver or gold. Favor suppliers have a wide range of packaging options such as metallic card boxes, bags, fabric wraps and tins. If you have the budget then why not look for inexpensive silver plated boxes which you could fill with candies to create wedding favors which will become treasured keepsakes.
