With warm weather wedding season upon us once again, the option of using wedding programs fans is one many brides will consider.
There are many programs fans available for the bride to choose from today -- from those printed by stationery houses such as
Carlson Craft; those offered by favor companies like
Beau-Coup; and those hand crafted by independent dealers like
Your Loose Ends.
Called upon to create a program fan for a young couple holding their wedding ceremony outdoors during a hot, muggy, Houston Summer,
Your Loose Ends had to think fast.
The sister-of-the-bride, who was also the Maid of Honor, suggested that perhaps her sister, the bride, should not have a program fan at the ceremony, for fear that it would look like a typical "church fan."
Your Loose Ends' mission was to create a wedding program fan that was functional, informative, and yet, totally elegant.
Hence, the "
Ann & Corey Fan" was created, and has become one of Your Loose Ends' most sought after and popular favors. The Ann & Corey Fan is a party favor, a wedding program, and fan all in one. What a "cool" idea!
Interesting facts about program fans.
