At our rehearsal dinner, after a quick thank you and explanation of the RD location, Mr. Pineapple and I gave our bridal party small tokens of our appreciation.
I made the lovely ladies rose-colored freshwater pearl necklaces and matching earrings. The copper rose clasps are my favorite part of the necklaces. Everyone seemed to genuinely love them and even though it was up to them, all five wore their new jewelry the next day. (Apparently I am not cut out to be a jeweler because Sister Pineapple’s necklace broke during the reception. I’ll shelf that career along with cake decorator.)
I also bought the girls each a wrap to wear the next day. We were planning on taking photos outside and Mother Nature was planning on 50 degrees. I chose 5 wraps in 5 different colors that I thought each girl would like the best.
I made my sister a wild teal hair flower on a headband to match her teal wrap. She looked like Kenley from project runway.
The last gift I want to share is one given to us by Bridesmaid Katie.
She framed our invitation and made paper quilled flowers out of the additional cards that came along with our invite. This was a perfect gift for someone who cared about the details as much as I did. Thank you Katie!

WOW, I would love that gift from Katie, especially since I *heart* stars
yes! That invitation gift is GORGEOUS and what a wonderful idea! I’m def. filing that under “things to remember when my friends get married” - right next to “send bride to be package of all things you wish someone sent you upon hearing of your engagement” 
and that headband is LOVELY! you can etsy those for sure
ooo the headband looks delicious! and the framed invite is an awesome and thoughtful gift!
I love that she took the time to frame your invite- such a sweet gesture!
I like that you got them each something the same and something unique (…and warm!)
That gift for you is so sweet… and I’m SUPER impressed by the paper flowers. Can we get a close up of the flowers so that I can steal, ahem, be inspired by her work?
Where did you get the wraps from? They look like they have a flower pattern on them! I would love those!!!
Thanks
Oh wow, the framed invite and quilling is just amazing! Way to go BM Kate. Super stunning. I hope you got a pic of your sis wearing that pretty headband! I can’t wait to see.
