Country Wedding Favors

If you are planning to use a country theme for your wedding, you will need to decide if you want to use a rustic country theme or a traditional old west country theme. Rustic country wedding favors will center more around wildflowers and natural elements while an old west theme will almost undoubtedly feature elements such as cowboy hats and boots as well as horses. The creative options will make your country wedding special and memorable to your guests.

Rustic Country Wedding Favors

Your rustic country color palette generally lean towards natural, earthy colors such as sage greens, wheat colored tans and browns and warm reds. For spring or summer celebrations, purples and   yellows may be more appropriate selections. Wildflowers are often a good place to begin to select just the right colors that may be featured in your bouquets and continued through to your country wedding favors.

Many of the varieties of wildflowers, sunflowers and daisies are inexpensive flower options. Using small, galvanized watering cans adorned with gingham ribbons to match your palette, you can feature your flowers at each place setting creating a memorable keepsake for your guests. You can also consider using old fashioned style mason jars with small bouquets or filled with favorite flower seeds that are wrapped in tissue paper or ribbon to match your colors. 

It is hard not to think of rustic country without delicious food coming to mind. Old fashioned, copper cookie cutters in the shapes of flowers or even butterflies with a favorite cookie recipe attached in a decorative box would be perfect for country wedding favors. Similarly, using cookies or mini pies wrapped in cellophane and tied with eyelet or gingham ribbons are sweet touches for any guest.

Western Country Wedding Favors

A western wedding can be traditional with bold reds, dark blues and browns, or made contemporary with pink as the featured color. The traditional design for old west dust bandanas can be found in just about any color these days to match your color palette. Consider using these bandanas to wrap up a table gift for your guests. You can also feature miniature bottles of favorite barbecue sauces or western liquor favorites like whiskey for your western country wedding favors.

Most people think of cowboy boots or hats when they think of the old west. Many retail craft stores offer a great election of western items in various colors and sizes. Miniature cowboy boots or hats filled with chocolate shaped western icons such as horses, horse shoes or star shaped sheriffs badges can be a great way to compliment a western country theme. Consider using old fashioned tin cups filled with chili spices and attaching a favorite chili recipe.

Before you head out to find country wedding favors, be sure to consider whether you want to go with a rustic country theme or a traditional old west one. From there, you should consider the traditional symbols of your chosen theme and turn these icons into creative country wedding favors.
