I am SO excited to finally get to share what we got our bridesmaids and groomsmen as gifts for helping us and celebrating with us on our crazy Covid-wedding journey! You might remember this blog post detailing how I asked my bridesmaids, which also has some great ideas for gift-y things. In case you’re curious, I wrapped the girls’ gifts up and gave them to them at our bridesmaid’s brunch the day before the wedding. Rudd brought his gifts for the groomsmen to the rehearsal dinner that evening! It was definitely less stressful to give them the presents the day before the wedding, so it was one less thing we had to worry about.
As always, we’ll start with the girls first. I had such a wonderful time working with Hidden Truth Jewelry to create this unique earring design for my bridesmaids! The back of the dogwood earrings say “Jesus” and “Joy.” Hidden Truth has this Dogwood & Pearl Dangles style listed on their website now, for anyone to purchase! I’m also happy to report that they’re having their END OF SUMMER SALE right now through 9/6, making so many beautiful pieces 15% off! My girls absolutely loved the earrings and I’m so happy with how they looked with their bridesmaid’s dresses!!
The second part of my gift to my bridesmaids was this adorable monogrammed sleep shirt for them to get ready in! I worked with Carolina Dandy to create these, and still think they’re just the best. I loved them so much, I even got one for myself, my mom, and my grandmother!! I chose the “Savannah” font in white on these pink shirts. She also sells the shirts in white and blue as well! These would make such a great gift for just about anyone in your life: Mother’s Day, new mom, Christmas, birthday’s, etc.! Carolina Dandy also has THE cutest gifts and home items on her website – I want everything!
Okay, seriously?! How cute are these guys! All of Rudd’s groomsmen either went to Clemson University with us, or have a strong affiliation with the Tigers. We decided he definitely had to do something Clemson-ish, and I was so thrilled when we found these Tiger paw cuff links on Etsy! The shop owner was so easy to work with, and even gave us a discount because it was such a large order. They sell cuff links in almost any team “theme” you can think of! The cuff links also came with little black gift boxes, which made wrapping a breeze! I printed a variation of our wedding crest for little gift tags.
The boys loved wearing the cuff links on the wedding day, and I think they will be something special for them to have in their closets from now on!
