Well we are just THREE days away from the big day and I am truly just in shock.
It doesn’t feel real at all. We have been planning this amazing celebration nonstop for months & while we have put our blood sweat & tears into it, it still doesn’t feel like it’s happening. Check in with me Saturday morning- we will see how I’m feeling by then.
More than anything, the best part of this process has been working with our friends and family to make this day come to life, and having our loved ones surround us to give us support & endless love during this special time. I could not and would not be standing here today without them- my bridal party in particular. They truly are my rock; they all make me my best self in such different, beautiful ways. I could celebrate them every day and it’s still not enough. I truly do have endless love for them.
When thinking about ways to show them how much they mean to me on our wedding day, I wanted to search for gifts that were meaningful and really tied into our wedding day. I am so excited to share some ideas that I found with Smyth Jewelers! I loved finding treasure pieces that would be great gifts for the special girls in my life- and in yours. Our girlfriends are always there for us, no matter what. I believe they are our soulmates, truly. They are there for us, without fail, and love us unconditionally, just as my future husband does. They deserve as much love as anyone else on our wedding day. I hope you like some of my favorite picks, and that they may inspire you when choosing something special for the special ladies in your ladies in your life.
A picture is worth a thousand words- and then some. I fell in love with this simple silver frame for a picture of you and your bridesmaids altogether {or individual pictures with a handwritten note to make it even more sentimental!} to remember the best day ever. It could be a favorite picture you have with your I Do crew, or even a recent picture from your bachelorette to remember your special trip! The frame pairs perfectly with this monogram jewelry dish- perfect for your married gals to put their ring at night, or the single ladies to put their trendy pieces when getting ready to go out. Would also pair so well with a monogrammed piece of jewelry to make it more personal!
For me, little presentation details are everything- I’m sure you’ll be able to tell once I share my wedding photos! These macaron jewelry boxes are the cutest little way to take your gift giving moment to the next level- like how cute are they. Makes the moment that much more aesthetically pleasing and “instagrammable”, so to speak.
I love the idea of gifting coordinated jewelry {or mix and match, whichever fits your wedding aesthetic better!} Kendra Scott is a pretty & popular go-to with so many options, whether you are keeping things simple with a black pendant and matching earrings, or you want a little sparkle to make a look pop with a rose gold druzy necklace. You decide or have them pick their favorite to feel more involved. Another great customizable piece that I found at Smyth was these stackable bracelets from e Newton. I love how many options they have- whether you have gold lovers, silver lovers, or a friend who loves a mixed metal look. These bracelets transition really well from daytime to nighttime as well!
Of course, one way we all love to celebrate together is with wine & champagne. These Corksicle wine tumblers are a favorite item of mine, and Smyth can even personalize them so you can have each bridesmaid’s initial on them! Paired with a monogrammed wine stopper, it’s a perfect pair, and a great item to use on the wedding day for sipping mimosas while you get ready.
I hope you enjoyed my roundup of gift ideas for bridesmaids {or any other special women in your life} for the big day! They deserve love and appreciation on your wedding day too- after all, they have been by your side in all phases of your life, they will stand by your side on the most important day of your life, and they will continue to be there each day after that. Girlfriends are our soulmates- never forget that.
Cheers to the final countdown! I cannot wait to see what this weekend brings {aside from a lot of tissues & waterproof mascara} and to finally be my man’s wife! I am over the moon excited for this adventure- and each adventure together that follows, for the rest of our lives.
