– A favor for your wedding so perfect that no one else would.
In other words, Brides want to find the favor just about as perfect a match as the man who has chosen to marry.
** Do you, Jill, take this please … ?
It was not long ago that the ability of scented soaps for pears or silver-plated salt and pepper shakers came as a relief for brides and visitors – which is a refreshing change from five Jordan almonds wrapped in tulle! But these days, a multitude of options is not enough. Brides are looking for uniqueness, with a capital U, and the choice is:
Favours that are anything but One size fits all.

With a fortune that they have written. You get the picture – favors bride wants to think out of a small shop of elves gathered only for your wedding.
