Zia & Tim’s Auberge Mayflower Inn Wedding Welcome Gifts in Washington, Connecticut
Custom Wedding Welcome Gifts for an Auberge Mayflower Inn Wedding in Washington, Connecticut
When planning a wedding weekend at the breathtaking Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Resorts Collection, every detail matters. For Zia & Tim’s elegant celebration in Washington, Connecticut, Sea Island Event Company had the honor of designing fully customized wedding welcome gifts that reflected the couple’s refined aesthetic while embracing the natural Fall beauty of the New England countryside.
In collaboration with Amy Champagne Events, we curated welcome bags that seamlessly complemented the couple’s invitation suite and overall wedding day décor. The result was a cohesive, elevated presentation that set the tone for an unforgettable Fall weekend at one of Connecticut’s most iconic luxury wedding venues.
Thoughtfully Curated Wedding Welcome Bag Contents
Each welcome gift was carefully assembled with a blend of artisan treats, elevated packaging, and meaningful personal touches. Guests were welcomed with:
Roasted & Salted Pecans from Molly & Me Pecans
Jocelyn & Co. White Truffle Popcorn
Handmade caramels from Shotwell Candy Co.
A Cardamom & Honey Caramel with Sea Salt chocolate bar from Wildwood Chocolate Company
A Sangria Jar from Camp Craft Cocktails
Two custom wedding monogram cups
Two bottles of Voss Water
The combination of sweet, savory, and celebratory elements created a luxurious yet welcoming experience for guests arriving in the Connecticut countryside.
Elevated Packaging with Custom Details
Presentation was key. Each gift was packaged inside a jute tote with rich leather handles — a practical keepsake guests could use throughout the wedding weekend and beyond. The bags were finished with a hunter green silk ribbon and a custom monogrammed gift tag, adding texture and depth while echoing the couple’s refined color palette.
Our favorite detail? The custom tissue paper.
The delicate leaf pattern mirrored the botanical design featured in the couple’s invitation suite, beautifully tying the welcome gifts into the overall wedding aesthetic. This thoughtful continuity created a seamless visual story from the first invitation received to the moment guests opened their welcome bag at the Mayflower Inn.
A Personal Welcome to Kick Off the Wedding Weekend
Each tote also included a custom wedding weekend note outlining important details for guests. The note featured a hand-drawn illustration of the Mayflower Inn — a charming, personalized touch that grounded the experience in the beauty and character of Washington, Connecticut.
From the curated contents to the bespoke printed elements, every piece was intentionally designed to enhance the guest experience and reflect the couple’s vision.
