Picky Southern Brides who want more than Mason jars!






It seems the new fad today is Mason jars!. Folks think, "Oh how cute and proper" for a southern bride to choose mason jars as weddings favors. Well guess what, not all southern brides want  Mason jars for their wedding favors. Some picky brides like refined, more cultured favors to offer their guests. Now Mason jars can be cute, and filled with sweet tea, strawberry jam and other delights are nice and practical, but some Southern girls are more cosmopolitan and yes "picky". Not all of us are from the country.
  Choosey southern belle brides like silk fans, chocolates, candles, fancy soaps and boxes, cocktail mixes, bottle stoppers and any number of other adorable favors available. Most girls like the southern belle theme and favors that reflect that them but please, no mason jars. Of course your favor selection will reflect your budget, but favors can be had for a song now days and these petite gifts can be quiet fancy and unique.
  If you are planning an elegant backdrop for your wedding then you want  a more elegant favor. Gliding down a spiral staircase or arriving in a fancy vehicle is the dream of a many a southern girl. She will probably include a sophisticated menu of traditional southern foods, flowers and accessories. I have never met a Southern girl yet who didn't love lace and silk, it's just par for the course with these beauties.
  Let's look in more detail at some of the amazing choices available for these ladies. First off silk fans, these can be simple,  in tones of pink, blue or white or quiet sophisticated with intricate designs of cherry blossoms. Here in the South, it can get quiet hot and a lovely fan would be greatly appreciated.
  Chocolates and candles are also great choices.  Gourmet, chocolate dolls dressed in jewel toned dresses make amazing bridesmaid or bridal shower gifts and what Southern girl dosen't love, love, love a pretty dress. Candles come in all kinds of novelty designs that include orchid tea lights, seashell candles, teacup candles and any number of other fabulous styles.
  Soap or spa fanciers might enjoy offering sweet smelling soaps in lace or organza bags, fragrant sachets wrapped in exquisite rose packaging or accented with sparkling bead work. Your choices are endless and each bride is sure to discover that unique favor that says "this is me"!
  Now you have a substantial selection to choose from and there need be NO MASON JARS!
