Choosing a thoughtful New Orleans themed wedding favor can reflect your personality, values, and attention to detail as a couple, demonstrating that you care deeply about your guests and want to give them a meaningful keepsake.
A New Orleans themed wedding favor expresses your creativity sense and is a statement of refinement. It’s also about selling your brand as a couple, and and establishes you as a strong partnership.
Each of our New Orleans themed wedding favors incorporates old world casting and mold making techniques, laser scanning, 3-D printing, and hand applied embellishments using gold leaf.
Every New Orleans themed wedding favor we make is a bespoke work of art with a dancing, sparkling, crystalline quality, appearing as if it were hand hewn from hardened quartz in mineral form.
OUr secretive Method for Quartz Crystal Casting is uniquely our own.
Our “quartz” marble dust is a solid by-product generated from the processing of white marble from the Eastern Pyrenees of South France.
The ground calcium carbonate is characterized by its high brightness and chemical purity. Marble dust is traditionally used as a natural mineral pigment or as a natural mineral filler/texture enhancer in the preparation of casein paints or lime, whitewash, coating, stucco, and cement.
We use it to impart a mineral like quality to our wedding favors, giving it the hardness and gemstone like feel it provides. We also apply a protective UV layer material to our wedding favors to prevent yellowing over long periods of time.
Each handmade wedding favor is polished, hand embellished, and presented in a white organza bag, along with an enclosure card describing the technique and the artist’s name.
The secretive technique and formulation we use to create our crystal quartz mineralized result is carefully protected.
To create your New Orleans themed wedding favor memento, we employ our own secretive process that combines our quartz crystals with a stone like resin compound which suspends the crystals in our molds, imparting a mineralized texture and feel.
Marble quarry in the Eastern Pyrenees, Southern France. Our crystal quartz New Orleans themed wedding favors incorporate this unique material into them.
You can present our New Orleans themed wedding favor in a variety of ways, for example, as part of your seated dinner event, as part of a receiving line handout (imagine your flower girl handing them out to your guests from a decorated basket!), or adjacent to your signing table.
Your John Marc Anderson Art New Orleans themed wedding favors can be offered at the reception table, at individual place settings, or handed out personally. You may wish to include them in gift baskets or paired with other gifts, as well.
