			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can&#8217;t decide on wedding favors for your wedding? There are so many kinds of wedding favors you could have - from something handmade to simple flowers to very intricate, personalized wedding favors. And everything in-between.</p>
<p><span id="more-54"></span><br />
Some brides pick the favors to reflect the wedding and its theme. Others like to match the colors of the wedding to the favors. Yes, there are some who want something simple and personalized, for their guests to remember the wedding date.<br />
We have put together some ideas for you to come up with wedding favors for your wedding:</p>
<ul>
<li> Would You Like To Make Them Yourself? Some brides love making things themselves. If that is you, and you don&#8217;t have too many guests coming to the wedding, you may want to create something yourself.</li>
</ul>
<p>On the other hand, if you don&#8217;t make things yourself, now is not the time to start. It would be better to buy simple favors, instead of spending your valuable time on learning how to make them.</p>
<ul>
<li> Do You Want Them To Match Your Wedding Theme? Pick something that will match your wedding theme. For example, if you are wearing a princess wedding dress, and your whole wedding is designed around a fairy tale theme, picking wedding favors that reflect the fairy tale theme as well would be the most appropriate.</li>
<li> Personalized Wedding Favors are also very popular. Get your favors personalized with your names, the wedding date, the location, etc.</li>
<li> Simple Favors. Sometimes you want to have favors, but you want something very simple. In that case, you might want to just buy items that you could use as favors - simple candles or flowers come to mind.</li>
<li> Seeds. We love seeds as wedding favors - they symbolize the beginning of your new family, and your guests will be able to use the favors! Give them seed packets with seeds that they can plant, a favor like this will definitely be used.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Enjoy finding the perfect favors for your wedding! </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wedding favors have been used by wedding couples for over 500 years to say thank you to their guests at their wedding. Originally called Bombonieres they were given by French and Italian aristocracy in expensive fine porcelain or precious metal boxes to present five candies representing fertility, health, wealth, happiness and longevity.</p>
<p><span id="more-52"></span><br />
Even the sugar coating to the sweet almonds from Jordan was expensive so only the rich and famous gave their guest such expensive presents as mementoes. Originally favors were given not just for weddings but at other celebrations too. Favors were given at anniversaries such as birthdays or baptism parties. Giving favors by tradition has varied with the country. In Spain for instance orange blossom is used while in the Netherlands &#8220;bridal sugar&#8221; uses the traditional five Jordan Almonds. The way a favour is presented varies too, today the favour is used at the table place to enhance the setting decoration. Although some favors are given out by hand in exchange for a wedding gift.</p>
<p>In spite of the many occasions the wedding is still the main event where favors are used and have come to mean thank you for sharing our wedding with us. Favors of course are not always sweets or candies, there are many practical items used as favors some very important, some less so it is to say &#8220;Thank you for sharing our day with us&#8221; that makes the favour so significant whatever the cost.</p>
<p>Every couple aspires to have their wedding as special and as memorable as possible and the number of offerings for favors has expanded to include all manner of things. One of the newer arrivals on the wedding favour scene is the use of a personalised perfume as a memorable favour. It is said &#8220;nothing evokes a memory like a scent&#8221; and the fragrance favour presented in a beautiful hand made Thai silk bag in the wedding theme colours is increasingly popular. No doubt the wedding favour offerings will continue to expand over the years and personal fragrances for the wedding will find their palace alongside the traditional candies.</p>

<p>Favors have been around for hundreds of years and it was believed that the first favor was a sugar cube and was given as a way to express the couples gratitude to the guests for being a part of such a memorable time.</p>
<p>Today wedding favors have definitely evolved into very beautiful, unique and personalized keepsakes. They come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Wedding favors are the most popular and mainstream way to tell your guests thanks.</p>
<p>Should I make my own?</p>
<p><span id="more-49"></span><br />
If you decide to make your own favors and have a huge guest list then realize how tedious this task will be. You will have to wrap, write and deliver. This is why many shops have taken advantage of this niche. These businesses will provide you with all sorts of wedding favors for almost any theme available. If you are choosing a local favor supplier than often they will handle everything for you. You just pick the favors you would like and they will set them up at your reception. If you are doing a search for wedding favors on Google then you can just type in whatever favor you are looking for and in a week or less you will have your favors.</p>
<p>How do I choose?</p>
<p>With so many different wedding favors around it is definitely hard to choose. First, think about your budget. If you are having 200 guests then the price will add up really quick. Second, have a good idea of how many guests and couples are coming to the wedding. If you choose to go with a more expensive favor then one favor per couple will do. Third, think of the theme of your wedding. If your having a Las vegas style wedding then you would want to choose a favor that is related. Personalize your favors they make your guests feel more special and it makes it a great keepsake for your wedding. Remember favors will often reflect your personality and your gratitude so choose them wisely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The philosophy behind Love Bond&#8230;..something about our Logo that we are proud of………The logo is loosely based on the symbol for the star Polaris from the Behenian fixed stars, which symbolizes love and desire.</p>
<p><span id="more-42"></span><br />
The design of the logo, the dominant crescent and top circle represents a wedding ring which is in line with the character of Polaris for being fixed and unchanging, for its being “the solitaire diamond set in its very own engagement ring”.</p>
<p>This symbolizes a long lasting and eternal love. More importantly, the unchanging believe of Love Bond in offering all our customers with exceptional services.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Behenian fixed stars?</strong></p>
<p>The astrologers of the Renaissance period Europe and the Arab world made use of a selection of fifteen stars, called the Behenian fixed stars, in their magical predictions. Each star in the group was considered to be the source of power to one or more of the planets. The name Behenian, derived from the Arab word bahman, means &#8216;root.&#8217; When a planet was within six degrees of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Polaris star ?</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps more than any star other than our Sun, Polaris has been regarded as the most important star in the heavens. It is a star of the second magnitude, at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper and almost at the north celestial pole, also known as the North Star or the Pole Star. Polaris never moves from night to night (to the delight of northern sailors) and therefore never sets nor rises; it is a fixed and unchanging reference point in sky. It has a very dim companion that circles completely around the primary in exactly 24 hours; it is a cepheid variable (a type of star) that simply refuses to behave like a typical self-respecting cepheid; and it is the solitaire diamond set in its very own engagement ring.</p>
