The Bride's Heart

When you plan or your wedding, you pick those that have been closest to you in your life to be closest to you in the wedding.

The bridesmaids, maid of honor, and best man are all irreplaceable parts of the wedding “puzzle”.  Without these whom you love holding tried and true, you would feel so lost on your wedding day.

Therefore, since these people are so very important to you day in and day out, you wish to find something that expresses just how much you love them and care for them and appreciate being a part of the wedding party. There are many maid of honor gifts out there that can be personalized for individuals for all occasions.

For the wine lovers, a personalized wine glass or champagne flute are terrific choices.  Most every woman loves flowers and you can find a glass vase that you can add flourish to by the addition of a flowing monogram.  These can be used for years to come to bring color to a room or as a lovely centerpiece on the dining room table.

Another terrific gift for the maid of honor are glass coasters.  These can be  used in her home and will add a bit of posh to her parties.

You know you can’t go too wrong when purchasing jewelry for your best friend to adorn herself with.  Some well meaning gifts in this arena can include a sterling silver bracelet set that will also show off crystal rhinestones and comes with a trinket box lined with velvet.  Other selections that you may gift are a beaded silver jewelry box, or perhaps a Victorian-style silver locket.  Glistening rhinestones, sterling silver, silver-plated, gold plated are choices that will make any girl happy.

Beyond jewelry, you can offer your her a spa day.  Let her luxuriate in the calm silence of sweet waters languished with scents to unwind after the wedding day.  Either get her a gift certificate for a local spa or add the personal touch by putting together a handpicked gift basket.  You can include soaps, bath salts, candles and lotions.

Perhaps she is a writer.  Does she have journals or does she like to hand write letters or notes?  Customize some stationary for her by adding her name or initials.  For journals, you can complement a store-bought journal with crafty items from the scrapbooking isle at your local art supply store.

Bags and purses are always a welcomed accessory to the wardrobe.  You can get your maid of honor something to go with her dress as well as to use for future occasions.   The more neutral a color, the more outfits the purse will go with.

Just bear in mind when you are shopping for that perfect gift, what it is you want to express.  Not only should it be a thank you, but it should also be something that comes from your heart.

Don’t just go to a store and pick up the first pretty thing you see.  You want the maid of honor gift to mean something and to retain memories for the both of you for years to come.
