Lovely Wife Glass Keepsake

Lovely Wife Glass Keepsake

There must be nothing nicer than a bride opening up a little something special as she gets her wedding frock on and sips her glass of fizz!

Often her mum or dad will give her a a little gift token or maybe her best woman or maid of honour. Sometimes. even the groom leaves a special  gift with someone to make sure it reaches his bride just as she gets ready. Here at Boutique To You we have arranged for many gifts to arrive at wedding venues sent with heartfelt wishes from the groom to his bride.

 As I write this we have just arranged for a pair of embroidered ‘mrs’ knickers to be delivered on behalf of a groom to his bride when she arrives at their hotel venue next week. Not only are they personalised with her new married name but they are also her ‘something blue’! He has requested they be made in powder blue silk with her new name embroidered in ivory silk cotton. How romantic a gesture is that?

A something blue keepsake  is probably one of the most popular wedding gifts most people would present to the bride to be just before the ceremony. Once over, it was always the garter that had a hint of blue to it. We offer these but we were also one of the first online UK gift companies to develop swarovski crystal charms to be tied into the bridal bouquets. These look absolutely stunning entwined into the flowers or even into the bride’s hair. They are a contemporary classic in the making. We sell several designs : a blue swarovski heart and a diamante blue horseshoe. We also sell smaller versions in the form of a garter charm to be clipped somewhere discreet attached to the bridal underwear.

A nice piece of personalised jewellery would also work well as a bridal gift. Something like this that can be engraved with a special message, words or even the wedding date will last long past the wedding day. If you choose something that you know she will wear every day or on  a regular basis afterwards then you are onto a winner. Just to touch her bracelet or the charm on her necklace will bring all the happy memories flooding back time after time. You could also choose something that she can add to. Charms are still extremely popular and show no signs of going out of fashion. Maybe she could add to the jewellery if they go on to add to their union with the addition of a baby.

One of my personal favourites for a bride’s wedding token is our ‘lovely wife’ engraved glass token. We know of one groom who arranged to have this left on the pillow in their honeymoon suite. What a romantic sentiment to let the honeymoon commence! You could even go one step further by having some mr and mrs pillowcases ready and waiting on the nuptial bed for them both! Two gifts in one.

So there you have it. Some of my top tips for giving gifts to the bride to send her on her way. They are just that little bit different and just goes to show how you can bring tears ( some more)  to her eyes as she embarks on the biggest journey of her life so far- certainly one of the happiest!
