Bridesmaids’ Gifts

While yes the bride does deserve most of the attention, the bridesmaids need some loving as well!! Having to deal with the bride is not always the easiest of tasks, especially when she is the “bridezilla” type, so buying something special for your bridesmaids will be a lovely way to show your appreciation to each of your bridesmaids. A simple yet elegant bracelet or necklace are the perfect gifts for someone you truly care about. While doing my tedious research on Pinterest, I came across a picture of a beautifully delicate bracelet by Melanie Auld Designs, which made me think how perfect this gift would be for a bridesmaid. Another wonderful gift, which is more common, is to buy each one of your bridesmaids a robe to wear when getting ready before the wedding. Plum Pretty Sugar has some of the most fun designs for robes. They come in both cotton voile and habutai silk.

Maui Destination Wedding by Tamiz Photography

This Maui destination is so good, so rich, so beautiful! Tamiz Photography is responsible for this great wedding. Every detail shot is so unreal, I feel like I’m right there in the party! Belle Desination Weddings and Events brought everything together- from dripping crystals to metallic accents on the centerpieces, the plate chargers, and the sparkly pillows! But the bride is the true show-stopper in a Vera Wang gown. I love her hair pulled back, the strong red lip, and that true statement necklace
