​Wedding Favours for Easter and Spring Weddings

There are signs of spring all around us, from the crocuses and daffodils appearing in every garden and grassy bank, to lighter evenings and beautiful, renewed bird song. At Wares of Knutsford we are equally busy with preparations for a busy season ahead, with Easter and spring weddings just around the corner.Many of our customers choose our glass jars and bottles for their wedding favours, and our miniature bottle range and miniature jar range is ideal whether you're making up sweet treats, bath salts or mini soy scented candles to delight your guests.

Why miniature glass bottles and jars are perfect for wedding favours

When you consider a wedding favour you want it to be something beautiful, meaningful and in line with your wedding design and theme. For many brides and grooms, there is also a real desire to create a green and sustainable wedding that keeps single-use plastics out of the equation.

Glass bottles and jars are perfect for favours, and because they are so beautiful and functional in their own right, they can be reused after the big day for any kind of purpose around the home. So when you choose glass for your favours, you're picking a cute token that can last far beyond the big day itself.

Glass wedding favours are also cheap to make, and perfect for a rustic or country-themed wedding where you can add your own mark to the day with individual art and craft ideas. So they really do tick a lot of boxes for our customers.

But what should you choose as your wedding favour? Here are some spring wedding favour ideas with glass bottles and jars:

A light and fresh Irish cream
Why not make a spring-themed or lighter coloured liqueur such as a delicious fresh Irish cream? It's very quick to make and only needs to rest overnight. Because the ingredients are fresh, a combination of cream, sugar, chocolate and whiskey, it needs to be used quickly, but that shouldn't be a problem! Find a great recipe here: https://www.thespruceeats.com/irish-cream-liqueur-760273. These would look fantastic in our range of Slim Jim" Miniature/Mini flask glass bottles.

Italian inspired infused oils
A spring wedding would also be a great time to try gifting a herbed olive oil. To make these, you simply blend up high-quality olive oil with your herbs of choice, strain them, allow the oil to sit for a period of time to release the flavours, and then sieve it again before decanting.

These would look beautiful presented in our 80ml swing stopper glass bottles: https://foodal.com/knowledge/herbs-spices/make-beautiful-tasty-herbed-oils/

Mini soy candles
Why not try your hand at making some spring-themed candles for your special event? Lavender essential oil and lilac food colouring will create your violet tone and calming fragrance, and pink rose colouring and fragrance oil will provide your petal shades. A drop or two of yellow colour and some vanilla would make a sweet and comforting classic candle, and together these pastel colours would look perfect for a spring or Easter design theme. Try our 120ml Mini Globe Clip Top Glass Jars for the ideal size and design. You can also see how to make your own candles here: https://www.candlescience.com/learning/how-to-make-a-soy-candle/

Decorating your wedding favour glass bottles and jars
The trick to creating perfectly professional wedding favours is to pay attention to the decorative elements. We sell a wide range of ribbons, raffia, labels and decorations to help bring your homemade wedding favours to life, and it's very easy to coordinate your wedding favour to the overall wedding design. For example, natural raffia, wood and twine all look perfect for a rustic wedding, and you can use extras such as dried petals and tissue to bring in complementary colours. Or opt for bright ribbons and tags for a bolder finish, with extras such as sparkles and metallics if these inspire you. Little crafty touches such as rose gold metallic sprays on glass work wonderfully for creating truly bespoke wedding gifts and decorations too, such as a metallic homemade posy vase.
