Unique Bridesmaid Jewelry by viv&ingrid

    These days, it's totally appropriate to give more personal gifts to your bridesmaids, and one of my favorite ways to do it is with jewelry that can be worn again and again.  Believe me, your bridesmaids will love an original jewelry design-- just stick with a common theme for the whole party, but choose something a little different for each maid that suits her personal style.  From September 21-October 12, viv&ingrid jewelry is offering 25% off their jewelry, hair accessories, and Bon Bon keepsake boxes with code vifall25. 

    For under $50, each bridesmaid can wear a birthstone Paillette Charm Necklace.

 

    Loving these Dynasty earrings!  Note: these work best for your friends who go for bold jewelry choices in their everyday life.

    Mix and match earring and necklace options to create a look that matches your bridesmaid's dresses but can easily be re-worn.

Wedding Coordination Services as a Gift

    I recently was approached by a group of bridesmaids looking to give my wedding coordination service as a gift to the bride.  What a fabulous idea!  Why don't more bridal parties or families do this?  Many brides do not allot room in their wedding budgets for a planner or coordinator, but would love to hire one to take away some of the stress of wedding day production.  Then along comes D-day and guess who does all the work?  The bride, her mom, and her bridesmaids. 

    Even a small coordination package that enables your coordinator to "wrap things up" in the last few weeks before the wedding will help.  In my company, we discuss floor plan, seating arrangements, menu and rental items, final balances and tips owed to vendors, etc.  We create a wedding day schedule and communicate with each other vendor to make sure the whole team is on the same page.  Then, come wedding day, we arrive early and stay late to be sure that the wedding is set up as you wish, the party flows perfectly, and your gifts and personal items are sent home with the appropriate person.

    So to all you bridesmaids looking for the perfect gift: Consider wedding coordination as a special treat to the bride.  It's truly a gift that keeps on giving!

Personlized Wedding Gifts

    When searching for the perfect wedding gift for close friends or family, it's always nice to find something personalized that the couple can appreciate for years to come.  Here are a few of my favorite custom wedding gifts from PersonalCreations.com.

We received something very similar to this for our wedding date, and were so excited to hang it up to acknowledge our new family unit.


A personalized bottle of wine or champagne can be saved for years, or opened for the couple's first anniversary toast.



How cute is this?  A "Lovopoly" game board, complete with the couple's photo and 22 personalized events or places to land on (first date, first anniversary, favorite restaurant).



As a guest favor or a treat inside a bridal party gift basket, these wedding party candy wrappers are an amusing way to honor your attendants.
