Medieval Wedding Favors and Decorations

You have the location, you know what you're wearing and the menu's been planned. Now how do you decorate that sparse reception room? What would be a great favor gift for your guests?

Medieval Wedding Favor Considerations

Before deciding on your actual medieval decorations and wedding favors, you will need to ask yourself a few questions.
1. Is your medieval wedding and reception being held indoors, outdoors or a bit of both? (In other words, is your medieval ceremony being held outside and the reception inside, or vice versa?)

2. Do you want to have a "peasant"-style medieval wedding theme, where you, your wedding party and guests dress simply, or are you envisioning a grander style, more in keeping with "royalty"?

Deciding on what your medieval wedding sub-theme should be will help you focus on the type of decorations you will need. For a royalty-type wedding, your decorations would obviously be more elaborate and rich looking, with deep rich color tones.

For a peasant-style wedding, you should keep things simplistic and rustic. For example, using wild flowers, earthen type pottery, and rustic type lanterns.

Depending on the location and style that you decide upon, you will need to look at different medieval decorating options. That's not to say you can't mix and match. By all means, if you find an idea that really appeals to you, use it no matter what the location. Be sure to jot down any ideas that come to you for future reference. Ideas come and go so fast, you'll want to record them as soon as possible.

Medieval wedding favors and decorations are only limited by your imagination, so mix and match, and have fun creating your own unique ideas.
