I love seeing pictures of wedding parties that have gone above and beyond their wedding planning duties to make all the events leading up to the big day a little extra special for the bride.
Whether it’s a themed tea party bridal shower, matching outfits for the bachelorette party, or matching robes to wear the morning of the big day, it is wonderful to see such coordination and inspiration.
Jewelry Gifts
Gold Bezel and Pearl Drop Earrings
Pearls and a white gown have gone together for a long time. These drops hang an 8 to 8.5 mm freshwater pearl from a round stone in a bezel setting, so she gets a little sparkle above the soft shine of the pearl.
You choose 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold, or platinum, and each pair is handmade. The pearl sways when she moves, which is a nice detail for the walk down the aisle.
Lab Diamond Tennis Bracelet in Yellow Gold
A tennis bracelet is the piece she wears on the wedding day and then on every dressed-up night after. This one from Brilliant Earth has lab diamonds, 2 carats total weight, set in 14K yellow gold.
The mixed spaced design gives the classic tennis bracelet a small twist, and it still sits quietly next to the gown.
Pandora Married Couple Dangle Charm
If she already wears a Pandora bracelet, this is the charm for the day she gets married. The sterling silver dangle shows a newlywed couple kissing: the groom holds his bride while she carries her flowers, with clear cubic zirconia for a bit of sparkle.
Hand it to her on the morning, and the wedding becomes the first chapter on her bracelet.
Monogrammed Leather Jewelry Roll
Earrings have a way of ending up tangled at the bottom of a honeymoon toiletry bag. This jewelry roll from PelleleatherDesign is full grain cowhide leather, made for travel and personalized with a monogram.
Use her new initials. It's a small way to make the name change official before the paperwork is.
Wedding Day Accessory Gifts
Wedding Day Button Down Shirt
Tip: Everyone who is getting their hair and makeup done on the morning of the wedding should wear a button-up shirt!
Trying to take off a t-shirt with freshly curled locks as well as red lips is a recipe for trouble. Outfit your bride in her very own monogrammed wedding day shirt.
This oversized oxford from EverlyGrayce buttons all the way down, so it comes off without touching her hair, and it looks great in the getting-ready photos. Add her monogram, or order a few for the whole crew.
Satin Bride Robe with Feather Trim Sleeves
Getting-ready photos happen before the dress goes on, so give her something to wear for them. This long white satin robe has feather trim on the sleeves and lace across the back, which is the part that shows in the over-the-shoulder shots.
The satin is recycled polyester, and she can wear it again on the honeymoon.
Embroidered Linen Wedding Handkerchief
Someone is going to cry today, and odds are it's her. This linen handkerchief from ErenePumpkin is embroidered with flowers and personalized with her name and your wedding date.
It does its job during the vows and then goes into a keepsake box with the date stitched in.
Wire Name Bride Hanger with Engraved Date
The dress is going to hang somewhere for a photo, so it might as well hang from her name. This hanger from WireNameART spells the name in script wire and has the wedding date engraved.
Order it with her married name and she gets a preview before the vows.
Personalized Bride Emergency Kit
Something small will go wrong today. A lipstick smudge. A shiny forehead right before the first look. This personalized bride survival kit from ThirdStrandStudios is a wedding day essentials pouch, and blotting paper is part of it.
Hand it to her maid of honor if the bride would rather not carry it herself.
Perfume Gifts
Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Cologne
She might already have her dress, shoes, accessories, and veil picked out but you can still give her something special to wear on the big day.
Make it Jo Malone London's Peony & Blush Suede Cologne, in the 3.4 oz. or the 1 oz. size. Peonies show up in so many wedding bouquets that a scent named for one suits the day.
Calming Gifts for the Bride
Calm in the Chaos Essential Oil Roller
The hour before the ceremony is loud. Hair dryers going, someone asking where the boutonnieres went. Calm in the Chaos is a 10 ml essential oil roll-on from AghaStudioShop, made as a calming aromatherapy roller.
It's small enough for her clutch, so she can roll a little onto her wrists right before she walks.
Orange Blossom Candle from Provence
Orange blossom has been part of wedding flowers for a long time, so it makes sense as the scent of the bridal suite. This soy candle from CandlesofProvence is handmade in Provence with a fragrance from Grasse.
Light it while she gets ready. Light it again on the first anniversary and the room smells like that morning.
Books & Stationery Gifts
Engraved Map Leather Travel Journal
Give her somewhere to write the honeymoon down before it blurs into one long, sunny week. This leather journal from KyivLeather is laser engraved with a map and comes in A5 or A6.
It's personalized, so add her new initials and the first trip as a married couple gets its own book.
One Question a Day Journal
This 'question a day' book gives her one question for each day, five years running, and her answers turn into a personal time capsule. Moving beyond a simple 'how was your day,' it's a habit to start in her first year as a wife.
Aimee Chase wrote the questions, and the flexibound cover is easy to keep on the nightstand.
Thoughtful Gifts
I Do Something Blue Stickers
Does she have something blue yet?
Something blue can be a little tricky if it doesn't necessarily match your wedding colors. These turquoise "I Do" stickers go on the soles of the bride's shoes, so the blue stays out of sight until she kneels at the ceremony or kicks her heels up for a picture.
We all know capturing a brand new pair of bridal shoes is one of many photo-ops for the big day. Stick "I Do" stickers to the soles and now she really has a reason to show off her new shoes.
Reasons I Love You Photo Flip Book
You can say it in the vows, but the vows happen in front of everyone. This personalized photo flip book is the private version: a small wooden book of reasons why you love her, with your own photos.
It measures about 5.3 by 3.8 inches, small enough to read in the bridal suite before the veil goes on. Fill it the week before, not the night before.
Home Essentials
Lula's Garden Duet Succulent Garden
A first home together needs something green that takes very little care from two people just back from a honeymoon. Lula's Garden plants succulent gardens in planter gift boxes that are ready to display, and the Duet suits a couple setting up a place together.
Each box is about 4 by 4 by 5.7 inches, small enough for a windowsill.
Hand Stamped I Do and Me Too Cake Forks
Two vintage silverplate forks, one stamped "i do" and the other "me too," with your wedding date on the handles. They're for the cake cutting, and for the photo of the cake cutting.
Each letter is stamped by hand one at a time, so the spacing wanders a little, and the silverware pattern depends on what the shop has on hand. Bring them out again every anniversary.
Waterford Lismore Crystal Vase
Give her bouquet somewhere better to go than a pitcher on the kitchen counter. This is Waterford's Lismore vase, crystal in the classic Lismore pattern of diamond and wedge cuts.
Fill it with her wedding flowers after the ceremony. It stays out long after they're gone.
Foodie Bride Gifts
Veuve Champagne and Truffles Gift Basket
Champagne and chocolate before noon is allowed on a wedding day. This basket pairs a bottle of Veuve with an assortment of chocolates, including chocolate and caramel coated grahams and chocolate covered caramels.
Flutes are not included, so have glasses ready in the bridal suite.
Waterford Wedding Vows Champagne Flutes
The first toast as a married couple is going to be photographed, so the glasses matter. These Waterford Love flutes come as a pair of crystal flutes with a pulled stem and a cut pattern of interlocking rings.
Each holds 220 ml. Use them for the wedding toast, then every anniversary after.
Fritz Knipschildt Boozy Truffle Box
If she's going to skip breakfast anyway, at least make the snack interesting. Fritz Knipschildt makes these truffles by hand for Uncommon Goods, hand paints each one and infuses them with spirits.
The box holds four flavors, three truffles of each. Espresso Martini is dark chocolate ganache with chocolate vodka and espresso liqueur. Raspberry Mojito is white chocolate with raspberry, white rum, lime and mint.
I hope my list has given you some inspiration for some silly and fun wedding morning gift ideas that you can give to the bride for her big day!
