Wedding Favours, Fragrances and Table Decor
Weddings are a great place to get creative and deliver a host of emotions through thoughtful scents and delicate crafts. Did you know that September is the most popular month for couples to get married? If you’re thinking about branching out into the wedding industry or maybe you’ve been asked by a friend to make some favours, this blog will guide you through exactly what you need ready for the peak season!
It's All In The Scent
Weddings are reminiscent of delicate and floral scents, it’s important to choose a fragrance oil that has a good throw but isn't overwhelming or not relevant. Our top picks include;
Birthday Cake -
Traditionally, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to all guests and the couple. Nowadays, however, they are more of a centerpiece to the wedding and are not always even served to the guests. Our Birthday Cake fragrance oil expels delicious butter and vanilla aromas that remind us of a traditional Wedding Cake. A smooth and indulgent fragrance that is reminiscent of the big day.
Winter Rose & Pink Pepper -
Long considered a symbol of beauty and love, roses figure into many aspects of weddings and are the most popular choice of flower for bouquets and centrepieces. If you have a winter wedding on the horizon, our brand new Winter Rose & Pink Pepper Fragrance Oil is sure to be a hit. This sweet, spicy seasonal scent is complimented by soft and delicate notes of rose for a wedding scent that stands out subtly.
Peony and Blush Suede -
Prized for its delicacy and impressive beauty, the peony has a voluminous strong perfume and bright colour. A bouquet made solely of peonies can be gorgeous; the flower can also be used to create beautiful centrepieces and arrangements. Grown in single- and double-flower styles, this expensive bloom is seasonally available from late spring to early summer as is often a popular choice for wedding bouquets. Extend your bouquet to your guests with our Peony and Blush Suede fragrance oil, featuring peonies in bloom with the bite of red apple and the opulence of jasmine, rose and gillyflower. Mingling with the sensuality of soft, blush suede.
Lilly of The Valley -
With tiny bell-shaped florets dangling from a thin stem, the lily of the valley is sometimes called "the ladder to heaven” and is a popular wedding flower choice. The fresh, perfumed scent from its petite flowers is unmistakable, you likely remember it from Kate Middleton's royal wedding bouquet in 2011. Most people know of the white variety, but lily of the valley also comes in a very rare rosy-pink. Our Lilly of The Valley Fragrance is a white floral accord with supporting notes of lilac, rose, geranium and delicate green leaf on a musky base.
Favours for Guests
If you’re looking to make wedding tokens for your customer's table, we’ve got just the ticket.
Wax melts are probably your best bet when it comes to wedding favours. They’re small, simple and easy to make in large quantities, unlike candles. All you have to do is select a scent and a mould and you’re away! We’d recommend our silicone heart mould, you can make plenty of individual melts over and over, which means less packaging, more favours and of course, what is more fitting for a wedding favour than a heart-shaped wax melt that smells reminiscent of the all-important day! You also have the opportunity to add glitter, confetti and botanicals for a truly personalised and magical feel!
New to our collection, our organza bags are the perfect packaging for your individual melt favours. Coming in black, white, grey, cream and yellow, these classic colours will match any wedding decor due to their minimalist colour choices. Just pop a few in a bag, add your CLP label and you’re ready to go!
If your customer has their heart set on candles, we do stock a range of smaller vessels. We have a super cute 4cl Salacia Glass on offer as well as our standard 9cl Candle Glass and our selection of metal candle tins, all of which are perfectly sized for wedding favours!
If you want to go smaller than a regular candle, tealights could be a great choice! Just like wax melts they’re small and super easy to make and will fit perfectly into our organza bags! You could also add a touch of luxury to your favours with our Glass Crown Tealight Holder! Designed to hold burning tealights, this stunning crown creation will sparkle and shine when illuminated by a lit tealight! Adorned with intricate glass patterns and beautiful gold details, this luxurious tealight holder will add sophistication to any wedding!
Centrepieces and Table Decor
Nothing is more romantic than a flickering candle filled with the couples favourite scent. If you’re looking to create a show-stopping centrepiece, candles could be a good choice! Our 50 cl Candle Glass 3 Wick Bowl will allow you to make a grand 3 wick flickering candle, perfect for the centre of the dining table. Compliment with a few 30cl and 9cl candles for a variety in shape and size! As always, remember candle safety and ensure that your lit candles aren’t positioned dangerously. Once used, your candles could also double up as favours for guests who love a candle!
Looking for something flameless? If you’re worried about children and safety on your big day, there are a whole host of flameless choices you can opt for. One of which is a reed diffuser. Bring wedding inspired scents to the table through a classic reed diffuser. We have a selection of diffuser styles in classic colours that will complement the wedding decor!
If you’re wanting a scent that will follow you from wedding to reception, there are always sprays! Whether it's perfume, linen or a room spray, we stock a range of bases designed to craft a variety of different sprays. Perfect for clothes, upholstery, tablecloths or the room in general, your wedding party can enjoy a select scent all day with a few pre-made bottles ready to spritz when needed! Any sprays that are leftover can even be used to spritz thank you cards after the wedding too!
Personalise The Party
Whether you opt for a candle, diffuser or something in between for the big day, don’t forget personalisation. Add a sticker with the Bride and Groom’s name on it and the date. Pop a ribbon, tassel or bow around it or opt for a fancy lid or cap! The ideas are endless, you just have to get creative!
If you’re making candles or wax melts we have a range of dyes to choose from that can help you to tie your creations into the wedding theme. From bright and bold to classic creams, greys and caramels, you can be sure that you hit the bride’s brief.
