Winter weddings have grown in popularity over the last few years with romantic nuptials taking place in winter wonderlands complete with sparkling snow! So when it comes to choosing winter wedding favors what options are available to you?

Here are a few ideas for wonderful winter favors:

· Check out the favor stores for delightful mini knitted stockings or mittens which are perfectly sized for candies or chocolates.

· Candles are a perfect gift for winter and the favor stores are full of choice for winter weddings. Look out for gel candles with an icy feel or pretty snowflake tea light holders. As an alternative create your own with votive or pillar candles tied with ribbon and a snowflake charm.

· Cookies are the favor of choice at the moment so have some made in the shape of snowflakes.

· Give your guests a winter warmer with sachets of hot chocolate and mini marshmallows presented in a white mug, or for something a little more tempting give bottles of mulled wine, mini bottles of whiskey or brandy or bottles of spiced cider punch.

· For something warming of a different nature look for wheat pillows which can be warmed in a microwave and provide instant warming comfort.

· Choose crystal favors for gifts with a sparkling icy theme. There are many choices available from large paperweights to hanging ‘sun catcher’ crystals.

· Traditional wedding mints work well with this time of year and would look nice presented in a clear acrylic box or sparkling bag. Add some themed decorations as a finishing touch.

· Glass coasters etched with a snowflake design make a stylish and useful wedding favor. Check out those that come in boxed sets to save you time and money on extra packaging.

· Many favor stores carry a range of mini photograph frames including plenty that would coordinate with a winter wedding. Choose classic silver colored frames or themed snowflake designs according to the style of your wedding.

· Silver wedding favors work for any style of wedding no matter what time of year. Check out photograph frames and trinket boxes, or even silver colored chocolates, candies or almonds!

· If you want to stick with traditional edible style favors choose some themed packaging such as die cut snowflake boxes, colored card boxes in shades of silver, blue, gloss white or go for clear acrylic boxes.

· Finally give your guests a nostalgic favor with winter themed snow globes. Some favor stores even offer personalization on these where you can add your photograph inside!
