15 Essential Accessories for Pulling Off a Lavender Themed Wedding

February 23, 2018

As purple is the official color of February, it makes sense to do a feature on lavender themed wedding accessories before the month's out. Plus, ever since barn and farmyard weddings became so popular, lavender's been all the rage. It smells good, it looks beautiful, and it's incredibly versatile - what's not to love? So with without further ado let's dive into our favorite lavender themed wedding accessories.

1.) Personalized Lavender Themed Wedding Napkins

If you're thinking about the little touches you could add to your special day to tie in your lavender theme, then we have a few suggestions. Namely, you can't go wrong with these napkins. Everyone will use a serviette at one stage or another throughout the day, so it's an excellent choice because everyone will notice it! You can also add a special message to your wedding guests, your names, or the date of your ceremony. This is perfect for adding your unique stamp to your beautiful event! Here are a couple of things you should consider before purchasing personalized napkins:

How big are they? (you don't want them to look weird on your plates!)
What ply are they? (you don't want them to feel poor in quality)
Can you get matching bar napkins for the evening reception?
How many come in a packet? (this is essential for budgeting)

2.) Personalized Lavender Paper Coasters

If you're looking to make your wedding reception unique to you and your partner, then these personalized paper coasters are a great place to start. You can add two lines of text to these wedding accessories, so you're sure to put your special stamp on these coasters, all the while complimenting your lavender theme! Do you have a hashtag for your wedding? Or something you want to say to your guests? If so, use this as an opportunity to communicate this to them! Top Tip: When purchasing paper coasters you want to make sure they're crafted using high-quality materials like pulpboard to ensure their durability. lavender coasters

3.) Customized Wedding Tags & Labels

Have you already purchased your wedding favors? If so, labels and tags are a great way of blending both your wedding theme and personalization into one beautiful mix! Here are a few things to consider before purchasing tags and labels:

How big are they? (you don't want them to overshadow your gorgeous wedding favors)
How many are in a pack? (you don't want to get caught short)
Do you need to purchase extras like ribbons and hole punches to achieve your desired look?

4.) Natural Cotton Wedding Favor Bags

Here at Cake and Lace, we can't get enough of handcrafted goodies! So, these lavender themed cotton favor bags are no different. These are perfect the perfect addition to any eco-friendly wedding, and ideal for adding a splash of rustic charm to your special day. When you're sourcing favor bags, think about the sorts of things you want to customize, and then find a company who'll do that for you. Common requests include:

The design (either a pre-populated choice or, the opportunity to use your own artwork).
The font
The option to write a message to your guests, your names, the date of your wedding, etc.

5.) Lavender Wedding Toss

Tossing the newlyweds with fabulous confetti is a tradition that's as old as the hills. Did you know this ritual is supposed to symbolize good luck, fertility, and abundance? Tradition aside, it's great to get your loved ones involved with your ceremony- especially when the confetti smells so good! It goes without saying, if you're hosting a lavender themed wedding, you probably want to source fragrant crushed lavender for your wedding toss. Imagine how beautiful the wedding photos will look, and the gorgeous smell of your venue once the lavender's crushed underfoot- just divine! Plus, if your source 100{0e676ec2f44ecabe7dbad24894a5f60517719a136bc7f0c20d97b4a1320db0ec} pure lavender it'll make a fabulous addition to an eco-friendly wedding because it's completely biodegradable.

6.) Miniature Watering Cans

If you're thinking of unique ways to display your sprigs of lavender, then you should consider mini watering cans. These are simply adorable, and the perfect size to dot around your ceremony and reception venues (two inches long by two and a quarter inches high). Alternatively, if you're on the hunt for botanically themed wedding favors, these watering cans would work equally well. You could fill them up with your favorite candy, or lavender buds!

7.) White Glass Bottle Decor Set

Similar to the mini watering cans, a set of vases is a great solution to presenting your beautiful bunches of lavender. We love the small, medium, and large effect. It's an excellent way of adding depth and texture to your wedding decor. If you can source white glass, even better. The lavender stands out incredibly well against the starkness of the white and provides a vintage feel. Plus, glass screams elegance- just make sure they're not in anyone's way (you don't want broken glass spoiling the festivities!) If you like the look of these vases, but you're unsure where you'd place them, here are a few ideas:

Table centerpieces at your reception.
Outlining the aisle at your ceremony
Decorations for the altar.

8.) Personalized Wine Labels

We can't tell you how effective wine labels are! Picture this, you've pre-selected the wine on your wedding breakfast tables. Your guests then pull out a bottle from the wine cooler and see it tagged with a gorgeously personalized wine label!

This is a fabulous conversation starter, as your guests probably won't expect you to go into this kind of detail! They're an absolute must if you're hosting your wedding ceremony or reception at a vineyard, or if you and your partner consider yourselves wine connoisseurs! When sourcing your wine labels, you'll want to consider the following:

Can you add your own customized message?
Can you submit your own design?
Are these labels waterproof? (condensation in a wine cooler would ruin them otherwise!)
Are they printed in high resolution?
How simple are they to peel and to place onto wine bottles?
How big are the labels in comparison to your wine bottles?

Hopefully, these questions will ensure you get your order right the first time around- without any nasty shocks on your big day!

9.) Personalized 9 oz. Stemless Wine Glasses

Let's just circle back to weddings hosted in vineyards. If this is your dream wedding location, then you'll want to consider personalized wine glasses for each of your wedding guests. These are great fun for the wedding toast at your reception! We love the dainty sprig of lavender in the below example, it rounds off the customized message beautifully. Here's a handy checklist of things to consider before buying personalized stemless wine glasses:

Do you want to change the color of the engraving to suit your color scheme?
How much wine can these glasses hold?
How big are these glasses? (This is handy to know when you're ordering the wine, and for storing and moving them to your wedding venue).
How many lines of customized text can I insert?

10.) Personalized Shot Glass

If you're hosting a festival-style wedding, then a shot of your favorite liquor on arrival is essential! If you're looking for personalized shot glasses that compliment your lavender theme, you're in luck because we've found some! Alternatively, you could use these as gorgeous tea light holders. These are perfect if you're hoping to dance the night away under candlelight as the evening draws near. Be sure to consider the following before you purchase:

Size (you want to make sure your candles fit inside them).
Coloring
Space for personalization.

11.) Personalized Wedding Cake Boxes

Let's face it, as much as we may want to devour an entire wedding cake to ourselves, there's a good chance we'll be beaten! So, why not share the love and let your wedding guests take a slice home with them? Opting for personalized cake boxes with a lavender themed icon is another way of tieing this gorgeous theme together. Things to note about cake boxes:

Do they need any assembly? If so, you'll need to factor this into your wedding schedule.
How big are they? You want to make sure there's enough cake to go around if you have hundreds of guests!
Is there a minimum order?

12.) Personalized Themed Tissue Packets

Weddings are an emotional time, full of happy tears. Plan ahead and get your groomsmen to offer lavender themed packets of tissues as your guests enter the ceremony venue. Similar to the other accessories in this blog post, you can have your tissues personalized- how cool is that?! In the below example, you have enough space to enter two lines of personalized text. Popular choices include the name of you and your partner and your wedding date.

13.) Personalized Wedding Candy Bags

If you're having a candy bar at your wedding reception, then lavender themed goodie bags are a must! We love the cute satin bows, these really round off this fun yet elegant design. Questions to consider when purchasing candy bags:

How durable is the material, and is there an adhesive seal to close the bag? (you don't want the bags breaking and spilling sweets everywhere!)
Do they require any assembly before your special day?
Can you customize these bags (colors, design, text, etc.)
Is there a minimum order?
How big are the bags? (you want to make sure you have enough room to display them on your table, and that you've ordered enough candy!)

14.) Personalized Bottle Stoppers

There's nothing worse than popping the cork on a bottle of wine and then leaving it to go stale. So be prepared and leave a couple of lavender-themed bottle stoppers on the tables at your reception. Not only does this save the wine, but it also limits the likelihood of any messy spillages. Alternatively, these would make an adorable wedding favor if you're hosting your wedding at a vineyard, or if you love wine! Plus, in the example below, you can customize both the messaging and the design- win-win! lavender bottle stop

15.) Personalized Color Script Thank You Notes

Last but not least we come to the thank you notes. Don't let the theme of your wedding fall at the final hurdle! Even a simple lavender colored thank you note like the one below is enough to round off the style of your special day. Top Tips: When purchasing thank you notes, always make sure the corresponding envelopes are included! This is super easy to get caught out on. Also, make sure you're happy with the message inside the card before buying them. thank you card
