A Personal Touch...

I always think its the extra personsal touches you can add to your special event. I am loving personalized Stamps right now. Just think when you get that wedding invitation or baby invite and it has a personalized picture in the upper right corner.

Another great personal touch to add to your next event is memorial vases. At weddings there is usually a table set up for loved ones that have passed for everyone to remember them. Photos, candles and flowers are usually on the table. But a great keepsake for even after your event are these fabulous floating wedding memorial candle holders that are personalized!

This can be reused as a vase later on or just a nice memorial for a loved one to cherish. 

When thinking personalized...think gifts too! There are so many new ideas to make items personalized rather than just a plain flask and some initials (not that isn't a great gift but after a few weddings you may have a collection).

• Think of getting groomsmen tickets to their favorite sporting event
• Jewlrey boxes/watch cases personalized
• Cosmetic bags with sassy embroidered letters to match their style
• Hand written thank you's/notes

  

PS. Did I mention Fall is my FAVORITE season? There are so many things to come on the blog...stay tuned! 

Suhm-thing.....SWEET!

So now that I am working in Birmingham I am starting to see how much it has changed over time from when I was growing up. Now they have so many neat stores with different things...I really want to highlight this new gem I found...Suhm-Thing. First, I LOVE the name! Second, this store has everything from picture frames, fun bowls, platters, jewelery, bags, perfume and more!! This is the perfect store for finding your next hostess, bridesmaid, birthday or any kind of unique gift!!

Personalized hand-stamped jewelry (custom made) is a perfect gift for Mothers, Brides-to-Be, Friends or just you! Made with sterling silver, each charm is hand stamped with names or personalization to create a custom piece that is as unique as it is beautiful. All necklaces come on an 18” or 20” sterling silver chain, ball chain or hemp string.

BRIDE ALERT: You could use one of these charms on your garter with your wedding date/your monogram or a special number to both of you...love this!!!

These be.ology shirts are really neat. They are designed to show who you are, inspire to be and who you want to be.

Modern Notes candles offer luxury scents with affordability. Who doesn't love that?! They have many scents including: Ginger & White Tea, Jasmine, Flower Market, Fig Leaf, Fresh Cut Peony, Mandarin & Tangerine and more!

This store is so refreshing and unique and the prices are fabulous! I would recommend you pop in there soon!

Gift Trends...

Let's start with fun, fabulous flip flops......a perfect gift idea for your bridesmaids, flower girl, bride and anyone else at your next event that may need some stylish comfort.

You have so many choices with these flip flops to really make them your own! Choose the color of the flip flop, ribbon, fabric color of the button and the thread for the initial.

Something stylish to put these cute flops in for your girls is a stylish tote bag from Zooble. Not only are you giving them something useful but it's something they will be able to reuse and enjoy. With these totes you can choose the fabric/design.

The best part is you will never see the same bag twice!! She won't make any two the same. LOVE IT!!

Last but not least....when thinking of all the items you need for the day why not throw in a cute pocket mirror so the girls can check their make-up in between photos. Check out Madison Craft pocket mirrors.

They even have bridesmaid gift sets that have cute boxes and pendants that match!

If these ideas are out of your budget don't think that they are out of the picture. You can go to your local Target or Old Navy and find cute tote bags and fill them with mini tissue packets, chapstick, pocket mirrors, flip flops and small clutchs.

I hope when you are trying to figure out what to get a shower host, bridesmaids or anyone else - you will think about these fun finds!
