• Traditional, classic elegance: Walker’s Shortbread’s packaged and refined simplicity are perfect for black-tie weddings and all others with a formal air. The packaging pairs wonderfully with such atmospheres with little to no embellishment needed on behalf of the couple or their planners.
  
  
• Rustic or country chic: Add your Walker’s Shortbread favors to kraft paper boxes or burlap bags to simplify the appeal while still producing a warm, homespun look. This technique will work well with settings that use a lot of wooden accents, such as weddings held outdoors, in barns, or elsewhere where there is a lot of ambient greenery.
  
  
• Vintage or heritage inspired: Walker’s Shortbread’s Scottish routes and innate old-world charm make it a natural mate for vintage or heritage-inspired wedding themes. It’s a great favor for those who plan vintage weddings with European flair, or wherever the atmosphere utilizes lace, antique tableware, or simply weddings held in historic venues.
  
  
• Garden or English tea parties: The timeless appeal of Walker’s Shortbread’s packaging works effortlessly alongside floral china, pastel palettes, and tiered dessert trays, not to mention the fact that it also pairs effortlessly with tea itself. You can include Walker’s Shortbread favors with loose-leaf teas and floral sachets as a guest favor.
  
  
• Minimalist and modern weddings: Walker’s Shortbread’s simple shapes, clean lines and angular packaging, plus its predominantly red-and-white color palette are perfect for minimalist, sleek, curated aesthetics. You can also repackage it in glassine envelopes or clear boxes with a monogrammed tag to personalize the favor.
  
  
• Cozy Winter and holiday-themed weddings: Walker’s Shortbread, perfect around Christmas time, is also perfect for Cozy Winter or holiday-centered weddings. The all-butter flavor and festive look both shine at all cold-season weddings. With the shortbread, include a hot cocoa bar, s’mores kit or a fireside favor bag and you have the perfect favor.
