May is upon us, summer is not far behind. Weddings are in full swing. We turn our focus to summer weddings! At <a href="http://www.weddingbellefavors.com/">Wedding Belle Favors</a>, our focus is, of course, favors. So, I thought I would collect some of my favorite summer favors from our collection. <br />

As I prepped Valentine goody bags for my kids, I got a simple idea for a place card for showers or weddings. Here are the supplies you'll need:<br />
<br />
<b>Cardstock or heavyweight scrapbook paper in the pattern or color of your choice</b><br />
<b>Paper cutter</b><br />
<b>Hot glue gun</b><br />
<b>Conversation hearts (I used the mini size, but you could use the larger ones, too)</b><br />
<br />
The ones pictured here (when folded) are 3" x 2". So, you will want to cut your paper into a 3" wide by 4" tall rectangle. Then, firmly fold and crease in half. Place a small dollop of hot glue on the back of one heart and affix to the left of the place card. And you're done!<br />

We love this time of year. There's a new sense of excitement over new couples, the bustling wedding season, and, of course, bridal showers! This is the most popular time of year for bridal showers. Still a very popular theme, the Bridal Tea is a great, classic theme to infuse into a shower theme. And there is no lack of ideas when it comes to favors and gifts. Look below for some of our favorites.<br />
<br />

Most couples get engaged during the Christmas and New Year season, quickly followed by Valentine's Day. They are excited and anxious to get started in the planning process of their wedding. And that's where we come in!<br />
<br />
Some customer's and even other vendors still don't realize that we are a wholesale company! We sell to authorized wedding vendors, bridal salons, gift stores, and wedding consultants. It's easy to offer our line since there is no inventory to carry and no minimums on our favors.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuO0mWZCW2eROuBGYngyJ8nJ54zXpK3qVkTzZEZVtoEx1lX-1LSL8K_8rLlDBKe-bZypll0jypN-OsYICjSYB_jOhXGHsvgBCPTnq4Q361KF15qEYIuBGLsAdemeQz90VSOcDxAco5IW92/s1600/Bridesmaid+dress+sachets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuO0mWZCW2eROuBGYngyJ8nJ54zXpK3qVkTzZEZVtoEx1lX-1LSL8K_8rLlDBKe-bZypll0jypN-OsYICjSYB_jOhXGHsvgBCPTnq4Q361KF15qEYIuBGLsAdemeQz90VSOcDxAco5IW92/s1600/Bridesmaid+dress+sachets.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGdGnxK54fl2CAVlrR1qMzIH2h937uv8s18EccIKpJAqmlB92Zb8ZzRKBduadp6s9BBxygc3khZ02R1hYW2erCLrwPj07Zh4y1X1wxffr5wu5ZaJAwg4SC8BygoLfCteqT-FWsxx7CnTr/s1600/Candles+and+Such+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGdGnxK54fl2CAVlrR1qMzIH2h937uv8s18EccIKpJAqmlB92Zb8ZzRKBduadp6s9BBxygc3khZ02R1hYW2erCLrwPj07Zh4y1X1wxffr5wu5ZaJAwg4SC8BygoLfCteqT-FWsxx7CnTr/s1600/Candles+and+Such+blog.jpg" height="200" width="171" /></a><br />
<br />
What also makes us unique is that most of our products are either handmade or hand-designed. In this wedding market today where Etsy and DIY has taken over, this can give your wedding business a competitive edge in being able to offer something truly made for the customer (much like a bridesmaid dress is customized).<br />

It's so nice to see these colors as I look outside at rain, rain, rain! Bright, vibrant colors are definitely en vogue for weddings these days. I am seeing a lot of intense oranges, coral, purples, turquoise, lime green, and red in a lot of weddings. I've collected a few of my favorite ways to use these colors below.<br />
<br />

As the owner of a wedding company and as someone who loves many forms of social media, I've really taken to Instagram as a way to share inspiring wedding ideas, as well as the personal side of me. I think this is an important niche for many companies, especially small ones, like <a href="http://www.weddingbellefavors.com/">Wedding Belle Favors</a>, that prides itself on personalized service. Come take a look. I'd love to have you follow (and I'll probably follow you back).<br />

You might have visited our website. Maybe you've even had the pleasure of seeing one of our favors at a party or wedding you attended! Who is Wedding Belle Favors?<br />
<br />
We began as a wedding planning company in 2002. As we added custom, handmade favors and gifts for our clients, the response was huge! This eventually became the focus of the business in the retail world. But then we began to get inquiries from wedding vendors, event professionals, and online sites if we offered a wholesale program. Thus, we have blossomed into the business we are today. We are strictly wholesale and sell to authorized vendors, event planners, and also refer retail customers to where they can find our products.<br />
<br />
Our specialty is handmade, hand designed items. Our <a href="http://weddingbellefavors.com/products.cfm?sid=4B5F9AB5E0397BED79EACC1619AAA05F&c=4374&m=0">soaps</a> are custom made in our studio. We hand pack our <a href="http://weddingbellefavors.com/products.cfm?sid=4B5F9AB5E0397BED79EACC1619AAA05F&c=4373&m=0">sachets</a> on a per-order basis, so customers are getting the freshest product possible. We hand pour eco-friendly soy candles (our real shell <a href="http://weddingbellefavors.com/product.cfm?sid=4B5F9AB5E0397BED79EACC1619AAA05F&p=34174&c=0&cs=products%2Ecfm%3Fsid%3D4B5F9AB5E0397BED79EACC1619AAA05F%26c%3D0%26kys%3Dcoconut%26pg%3D1%26m%3D0%26v%3D0">Coconut Candles</a> are out of this world!). Most of our products have the option for the customer to choose ribbon color and to add personalized tags (which we hand tie ourselves). <br />
<br />
We are always happy to accommodate special requests for our vendors' customers. Likewise, we welcome requests to offer products for magazine shoots, t.v. shows, special clients, or discounts for large quantities. We are happy to work with event professionals to create custom favors that fit their clients' needs. <br />

Whether they are flower girls, ring bearers, or guests, kids can play an important role in modern day nuptials. Many couples find it important to provide activities, games, and even childcare at their event for kids. Below, here are some of our favorite ideas for kids. <br />
<br />
1. <strong><u>Kids' note to the bride and groom. </u></strong>Provide crayons and other supplies for the kids to create their own personal <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/263812490643141622/">message</a> for the couple.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/48132289738350697_zvDZDfCy_c.jpg" /><br />
<br />
2. <strong><u>S'mores Bar</u></strong>. What kid (or adult for that matter) doesn't love to make <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/263812490642617258/">s'mores</a>?<br />
<br />
<img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/171418329537264506_Bc7isuPg_c.jpg" /><br />
<br />
3. <strong><u>Kids Table</u></strong>. Make a special table devoted to your littler <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/263812490643141647/">guests</a>. <br />
<br />
<img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/52143308156027575_Dd0vDGlU_c.jpg" /><br />
<br />
4. <strong><u>Kids Food Table.</u></strong> Create special <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/263812490643141659/">appetizers</a> and other foods just for the kids.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/78320480990124764_ycD7sOPJ_c.jpg" /><br />
<br />
5. <strong><u>Favors For Kids.</u></strong> Kids are often left out of the fun gifts that guests get to take home. Keep them happy with a treat like the one <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/263812490643141671/">below</a>.<br />

As a business owner of a wedding business, I also juggle my time being a Mom (especially with summer upon us), so it's kinda related. :) <br />
<br />
My daughter is S-O-O-O excited about her new lemonade stand for the summer. This is her second summer taking on this endeavor and she is behind it 100%: fresh made lemonade (not powder), keeping track of costs, etc. So I felt she needed a little extra "design help" for her stand. With the business, I have pallets laying around all the time. I took one and added some chalkboard paint (paint primer beforehand is a must). Voila! A super cute sign and readerboard of the day's specials. I just can't stand how cute this turned out and how much fun she had on her first day today.<br />
<br />

It's always hard to choose one topic to write about. Lately, we have been blown away by the oversized balloon trend. For me personally, I was never a fan of the smaller balloons at weddings, the dreaded "balloon arch", and all that. But these oversized balloons that people are using as photo props and decor are, shall we say, elegant? Take a look at some recent favorites below.<br />

Sorry! We have been busy at <a href="http://www.weddingbellefavors.com/">Wedding Belle Favors</a> making favors and processing orders. But we have been yearing to write about weddings and what we love, so here goes. Sometimes, it is so hard to hone in on a specific subject to write about on our blog. We, of course, love to write about favors, but we love ALL things weddings, and honestly, with all the wonderful wedding inspirations out there right now, it's hard to choose. So we have compiled a list of our "best of the best", what's inspiring us these days, just what is plain fabulous when it comes to weddings. So here ya go:<br />
<br />
1. Pompoms and Lanterns. We still absolutely love the popularity of lanterns and pompoms. With so many choice out there and and ounce of creativity, you can make your event truly special, like the one below. <br />
<a href="http://www.wedding-secret.com/galerie/themes/ambiance-et-decoration"><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache8.pinterest.com/upload/174936766745856919_q1M8YUVe_c.jpg" /></a><br />
2. S'mores. Yes, a whole entry devoted to s'mores. They are wildly popular as dessert items, appetizers, and now, as part of proposals!<br />
<a href="http://weddinggawker.com/page/2/"><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinterest.com/upload/241575967481398771_uY0wsJBU_c.jpg" /></a><br />
3. The Color Orange. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're always talking about it and it's the hot color right now. But it deserves it! On it's own or combined with brown, purple, lime green, red....you have divine wedding decor!<br />
<a href="http://www.theperfectpalette.com/2012/05/tangerine-tango-palette-of-orange-white.html"><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache8.pinterest.com/upload/91620173639695323_e30BTVgH_c.jpg" /></a><br />
4. Faux and brooch bouquets. I am a big fresh flower fan, but some of these bejeweled bouquets are swoon-worthy.<br />
<a href="http://signup.merrymarry.me/"><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache1.pinterest.com/upload/224898575112076569_ScD3FtwM_c.jpg" /></a><br />
5. Eco-Favors. Yes, it's a buzz word in weddings these days. But particularly when it comes to favors, eco-friendly options, such as plantable favors, live trees, and these soy coconut <a href="http://www.beau-coup.com/coconut-candles.htm">candles</a>, can't be beat.<br />
<img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinterest.com/upload/263812490642359075_JDtitmkg_c.jpg" /><br />
6. Different Bouquets. We love the idea of wrist bouquets and these pomanders for bridesmaid or flower girls.<br />
<a href="http://www.thedemoiselle.com/2010/12/purse-pick-wedding-pomanders/"><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache5.pinterest.com/upload/17873729741455160_VWQWfEba_c.jpg" /></a><br />

So, my goal is to try to devote at least one of our weekly blog entries to just that. As a favor and gift company, <a href="http://www.weddingbellefavors.com/">Wedding Belle Favors</a> strives to keep up on what is the trendiest, chicest, "it" item when it comes to favors. We love how personalized and handmade favors have become recently! In this post, we're focusing specifically on favors that incorporate stripes. Stripes are clean, classic, fresh, yet modern at the same time. Stripes can show up in the favors themselves, maybe on the tables they are displayed on, or on accent items, like favor tags. We love some of the ideas we've assembled below.<br />
<br />
1. <strong><u><a href="http://ow.ly/awovu"><span style="color: magenta;">Striped Gerber Daisy Favor Boxes</span></a><span style="color: magenta;">.</span></u></strong> We've included one of our most popular and best selling stripe-themed <a href="http://ow.ly/awovu">favor</a>. It's cute and dainty and the perfect size to tuck a truffle, some fresh lavender, or other small favor item.<br />

4. <span style="color: magenta;">Striped Straws.</span> <a href="http://lover.ly/search?q=stripes">Straws</a> are becoming increasing popular at weddings, both as a practical piece, but also decorative. They make cute "picks" for favor goodies, or as the favor itself.</div>

Again, I am just blown away by the beautiful and creative ways that brides are directing guests to tables and marking tables. They truly are works of art. Take a look below:<br />
