A Little More Color

October 12th, 2010 @ 9:09 am by Mrs. Starfish

I mentioned in my last post wanting to add some pops of color to the bridesmaids’ gifts and I definitely did. I gave each girl their gifts the morning of the wedding. I had originally wanted to do hostess gifts for the pre-wedding events, but didn’t have the time, so I rolled them into one on the wedding day.

Each girl got a sparkly picture frame with a photo from the engagement party.

This gift was a set of soaps.

As you can see, each girl got a pearl bracelet to wear on the wedding day.

I wrapped up photos for each girl of all of the pre-wedding events to add to the scrapbooks I gave to them when I asked them to be bridesmaids.

I had a lot of fun with these gifts. I was originally inspired by Mrs. Latte’s super sweet hostess gifts, but wanted to put my own spin on it.

Did you give your bridesmaids any special gifts for hosting your pre-wedding events?

So great! I love that you put so much work into these!! I am such a slacker that I forgot to wrap mine and gave them to the girls wrapped in tissue paper while we got ready on the wedding day.
