Elegant Wedding Favors For a Fall Wedding

Typically fall inspired wedding favors will feature leaves and come in the form of candles, leaf shaped bottle stoppers, coasters and miniature soaps. But there are other alternatives if leaves do not appeal. Here are a few ideas for stylish fall wedding favors:
* Give candies or chocolates in kraft boxes tied round with string or raffia and featuring a leaf shaped thank you tag. Your candies or chocolates do not have to have a fall theme although you could look for candies in fall colors.

You maybe inspired to hollow some fresh pumpkins to fill with flowers or candles as your table centerpieces, but you could also use them for your wedding favors. You could make pumpkin shaped chocolates or candies, even lollipops. Or how about mini pumpkin cakes or custom cookies.

Different Styles of Wedding Rings for Women

There are certain styles of rings for women that have become particularly popular these days and these include the carved band, the three stone rings, the eternity ring and the classic band. We will here discuss some of these and also provide tips on getting the right ring and size. The carved band is a type of classic wedding ring, but it has been slightly modified to suit women with different tastes who are looking for something that is a bit more original. It often has many different patterns or motifs carved into it and can look very artistic without looking too overdone.
The three-stone wedding ring is an interesting type in the category of rings for women. It has taken the original concept of what a wedding ring should look like and scaled it down to be beautiful, but also not too flashy or eye-catching. It usually has three stones in a row, set into the simple wedding band. The eternity wedding band is often favored as a one of the most popular choice for women. It has 360 degree diamonds set into the band and it is extremely spectacular to look at. It can be purchased in different carats, but usually the 25 to 50 carat rings are chosen as they are the most striking.
