She arrived at the church and alighted from her white limousine, wearing a love knot necklace with matching earrings on top of her strapless swirling wedding gown.  Her wedding jewelry was tastefully selected.  Assisted by her attendant, she walked up the four steps to the church where the wedding ceremony would take place.  The cameras were flashing and her husband looked towards her in quiet anticipation.  She took her place at his side and the entire bridal party stood facing the pastor.
 

The bride looked great with her classic and simple love knot jewelry set with its dazzling earrings and classy necklace that created just the right amount of twinkle for this occasion.
The necklace details mirror the matching Swarovski Crystal post earrings to create a double dose of glamour.  Cheers to the beautiful bride!

He was tall and skinny and barely eight years old.  He carried the ivory ring pillow with such style and ease.  The wedding guests stood on both sides of the brick walled church and watched with admiration.  The boy was the groom’s son from a previous marriage.  His mother had died when he was only three years old, but his dad raised him very well.

 

This handsome young ring bearer walked up the isle like a prince carrying the elegant chiffon ring pillow, with its whimsical feel and soft edges.  The groom looked down the isle and smiled with pleasure.  The boy was his own son but most of all he was doing such an excellent job.  Cheers to a wonderful ring bearer!

A personalized wedding photo box produces just the right balance of casual and contemporary elegance.  I would suggest that you select one that stands out, with leatherette background and prominent topstitching.  This wedding photo box will be special long after other wedding items have faded away.  This sentimental gift is an excellent and attractive way to store pictures of your most treasured keepsakes.  Your photo box becomes more meaningful when it is personalized. Try personalizing your special box with Greek letters on a silver plate to add both style and meaning.

You may want to be sentimental about your sorority or the fraternity of your special friend. This is really the time to throw caution to the wind and embrace this wonderful opportunity to show off your college affiliations and that of your special circle of friends and acquaintances.  You will live to appreciate this very wise choice.

Gifts That Are Sometimes Forgotten

wedding spa gift

Planning a wedding, no matter the size and scope, is extremely stressful for the bride and the women closest to her.  One of the most thoughtful wedding gifts anyone can give the bride is a spa gift. 

Many brides plan a massage early on their wedding day to alleviate stress before the ceremony and reception.  A cozy spa robe, slippers, or a personalized tote to carry all her spa products in would be appreciated by any bride.

wedding unity candles

In addition to all the more traditional items like wedding unity candles, there are items available to include a loved one who has passed on in your special day.  This is particularly important to many brides and grooms who have lost a parent, sibling or beloved grandparent prior to their ceremony. 

Keepsake candle holders bearing the names of your loved ones can be present on the altar as you speak your vows, accompanied by a photograph or photographs if you wish.  At a wedding I once attended, a seat was left empty for the purpose of holding a large framed photograph of a groom’s mother, which had been carried into the ceremony by an usher with a rose.  It was a small gesture, but also meaningful for the entire family.   Many guests noticed this touch and made positive observations about it at the reception.

Is this the gift?

What’s the hardest part about attending a wedding reception?  Finding appropriate clothing to wear to it? Having to eat at a table with strangers sitting across from you? Or is it making the decision whether or not to give that ever dreaded embarrassing speech about what the bride or groom did, before they were married? We may never know what the hardships in attending a wedding reception may be, but a common one is finding the right gift to give.

Kitchen appliances, chinaware, and cutlery: It can be quite difficult to buy a new couple something for their new life together.  If your imagination is limited when it comes to making this decision, chances are, a lot of other people will have made the same one, and the couple, while grateful, will end up with many duplicate gifts that they’ll have no use for. So how does one avoid this predicament?  The solution to this problem could be the personalized guest book platter.  Guests can sign their names and thoughts to create a one of a kind gift.  This gift can be purchased with decorative easel to display in the home of the bride and groom after the wedding.

A wedding event that qualifies to be called a highlight of the entire wedding is the grand entrance of the bride and groom to the reception hall.  All guests are now standing and their heads are turned in the direction of the main entrance.  The music is playing and the level of anxiety is very high.  About three feet  from the door is an easel  that is strategically positioned; a signature platter bears the initials of the bride and groom.  The font is elegant and the bride and groom are quite pleased to see the acknowledgement of their initials together on this specially positioned platter & easel.

The Square Initial Platter & Easel will add romance to the home of the new couple.  This is brilliant in its form and modern in its look.  The friends and relatives of the couple will be sure to notice. This is an item that will last for as long as the couple wants to keep it.  It will remain brilliant and as attractive as the day it was first delivered with very little maintenance needs.  The square initial platter & easel make an excellent personalized wedding gift for any couple.

I say “I Do” to Only You

One of the most important sentiments of your wedding day is your “I Do” wedding garter. Today wedding garters come in all colors and designs.  They are usually gathered and hemmed into sweet ruffles. Feel free to affirm your intentions by wearing the “I Do” wedding garter on your wedding day and throwing the tossing garter at the reception.   Many eligible bachelors are anxiously waiting to catch a tossed garter.

The garter combination allows you to retain one garter as your keepsake and the other for the purpose of tossing in the air for the lucky groomsman to catch.  Garters can be a lot of fun, but they are also quite sentimental.  A bride can keep her bridal garter for as long as her marriage lasts.  She usually likes to select a pair that is of a delicate shade and trimmed with soft lace and embroidered with the words” I Do”.  This may seem like a simple bridal item, but it carries sentimental meaning for each bride.
