The Ladies’ Lagniappe

The Ladies’ Lagniappe :  wedding bridesmaid gifts tampa Tumblr 026 tumblr_026

When it came to choosing gifts for the ladies I had practicality in mind. I wanted to get them something I knew they would love and use well beyond the wedding.

I found these beautiful metallic suede clutches at an outlet and because they were significantly less than I expected to spend, it meant I could pick them up a few more things.

While searching Etsy for bunny related things I ran across the most adorable earrings. Not everyone shares my love of bunnies but these are a subtle way of incorporating our theme into their looks.

I kind of have a soft spot for matching/similar jewelry and thought these crystal necklaces from Nordstrom would provide a nice pop of color with their dresses.

Since our ceremony is taking place outside they’ll also get a pair of SoleMates which will hopefully prevent our heels from sinking into the ground.

And last but not least, each lady will also get a Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm. I’m a lip balm addict (who isn’t?) and I love that they give your lips just a hint of color.

What a cute group of gifts! I love that you could put all of the smaller items (with the exception of the SoleMates) inside of the wristlet, and then the surprise will continue as they open them :)

I’ve been thinking about also buying those heel stoppers — has anyone used them personally?

Have you tried or talked to anyone who has tried the Solemates? I don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but feel I have to share — I bought them for all my girls and the moms. $80 later … They didn’t work. :( Most of them either fell off or ended up halfway up the heel (there’s a hole where the heels can poke through). I was so disappointed! But I know others have had good experiences, so maybe our grass was just extra squishy or something.
