Custom Wedding Favors

Candle Favors for a Backyard Summer Wedding

When the question of wedding favors came up for our August '22 backyard wedding, the obvious choice for this candlemaker was, well, custom candles of course! 

I scoured Pinterest for inspiration and found a few ideas to add to my wedding notebook.

These were a few amongst my favorite ideas.

This display, simple and pretty, became the inspiration for my final display/styling design.
​

Ideas in hand, I got down to making the choices that would fit my unique, personal wedding look & style.

I collected a variety of neutral pottery & vintage style glass vessels. I also added a handful of this gorgeous green vessel to add a pop of my wedding color “fern” to the mix.

I ordered custom matchbox covers from Etsy and thank you card attachments from The Knot.  The cards are double sided with a simple "Love & Thanks" greeting on one side and a personal note of thanks and gratitude for joining us on our special day, on the flip side. I loved the look of attaching with either side showing, for a mixy/matchy feel that complimented my eclectic, curated vibe.

After creating & finalizing the custom fragrance blends (see those details below), I attached thank you cards
​to the poured candles with a fine, fern green, jute string.

I mocked up this display a few weeks before the wedding so I could tweak and add to and adjust over time.
(One of the best things about having your wedding on your own property!)​

A guest took the photos below, day of the wedding.
​I am so grateful, as I didn't really get many
photos of our final set up (I was a little pre-occupied after all).

​Crafting Custom Wedding Fragrance Blends

I knew I wanted at least 2 different fragrance choices for my guests to choose from.
​I went to work pouring and playing with different oils and notes, combining a few of my favorite
​wedding day themes into the mix.

I ended up with 3 unique fragrances that I felt truly reflected my special day. 

1. Midnight Garden- The photo above is a Moonlight Garden I planted at the beginning of the season. A Moonlight Garden consists of all white flowers that appear to glow in the Summer night. I created the Midnight Garden fragrance combining top notes of juicy pear and tonka bean merged with soft floral and marine notes cocooned in a powdery blend of dark musk and amber. It's a lovely, sweet yet sultry blend. 

2. Honeymoon Beach- With our Florida honeymoon in mind, I crafted this blend using sweet mandarin,
sand jasmine, refreshing oceanic mist and just a touch of teakwood and tobacco.
This fragrance blend carries you instantly to a warm & sandy beach,  where old school suntan lotion wafts
amongst the driftwood and coastline breezes.


3. Fern Wood Farm- The overall theme for our wedding was a forested, fern & garden vibe. I quite obviously had to add the "Fern" theme somewhere in my fragrance line up. Fernwood Farm is a sophisticated woodsy scent with vivid notes of eucalyptus, cypress, and tonka bean, and just a hint of smoke to round out this crisp, woodsy blend.

Check out all those gorgeous ferns!

Since our wedding last Summer, I've had so many guests asking where they can find the fragrance blends they received as favors.  And so, last month while yet again doing another custom pour for a guest, I decided to simplify and add these blends to our fragrance line-up! 
You can now find these very special fragrances in our Roots Collection.
These blends are a welcome mix to our PNW brand & vibe, natural, fresh and with a lovely outdoorsy story too. 

Also....Did you know we offer custom wedding favor services? Indeed we do!
Large or intimate, formal or rustic, we can create something truly special
for you to share with your guests.
