Buying the perfect gifts for the bride can be a huge undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be. You are already getting to spend the rest of your life with your perfect person, so what else do you have to do?
A wedding gift is always a nice gesture and a great way to start off your marriage. It can hold a lot of symbolism or be simple and sweet or a lovely mix of all three. Buying her the perfect gift doesn’t have to be hard and thinking outside the box can help.
Gifts for the Bride
Here are some fun and unique idea for your wedding gifts to your bride.
Personalized or Themed Bedding
Custom bedding can be a super easy way of saying that you just want to cozy up with that person every night. It’s kind of also a little bit of a gift for yourself too.
Maybe she’s shown you pictures of what she wants your future bedroom together to look like (us ladies are always nesting in some way or other. Just look at our Pinterest Accounts!) or has shown you certain pillows or bedding. Consider taking her mom, sister, or Maid of Honour shopping to pick out the right items and help you set up the room as a nice surprise for her.
This might even be something on her “to do list” before you get married so it could be a huge support and help to her which is even more of a gift then just the bedding.
A Spa Day
A great “add on” gift or gift for that girl that doesn’t want or like a lot of “stuff” is a spa day. If you are getting her a more personalized gift, getting her a spa day or even just a treatment would be a great added treat.
Hint: Give her the spa day at least a month before the wedding or as something she can book once you guys are back from your honeymoon. Most brides won’t find the time to do a spa day close to the wedding.
Also, consider getting a couples spa day. Thermea is a great choice for this. You could spent a whole day there together “regrouping” before or after the wedding.
Even though a spa day is a pretty common gift that you might give to your significant other, you can also change it up a little bit and maybe take her to a spa that she’s never been to before, or try a different kind of spa. There are so many different spas out there, such as a float spa (float tank), or an outdoors spa (like Thermea). Switch it up and maybe send her and her Maid of Honour and make it a girl’s day for her!
Wedding Canvas & Photo Books
Custom wedding photo frames are such a beautiful way to capture the big day and all of its special moments. You could get her a set of frames made up with your names, or wedding date, or anything else that you might like etched on the frame.
You can work with your photographer to come up with some great canvas as well to display in your house.
If she’s into graphic novels or photos books you could get really creative and make her a fun flip book or story book of your wedding or love story.
This canvas above would be a great idea if you wrote your own vows and wanted to really share them with others and reflect on them often.
Or even something really unique and personal like this custom sound wave art. It’s created from a audio clip of you reading your wedding vows!
A Surprise
How’s this for a great gift; have the proposal secretly photographed and gift a framed image of the act to your love on your wedding day. If she’s not a crier she will be then!
Wedding Bouquet Preservation
You may have not even known this was a thing, but let me assure you, it is! The bride’s bouquet is, a lot of the time, a huge part of the bride’s day. For you to preserve it for her, so that she can have it for the rest of her life, would be a grand gesture. You could buy a beautiful box for it or frame and hang it, or have it in a cabinet so that she can look at it every day, and know that you did that for her.
Love Letters
If your bride is a very sentimental person making a homemade scrap book of pictures and notes is probably the best way to show how much you adore her. It may be more time consuming as far as gifts go, but it would really show her that she is the centre of your life and she would have it forever. You can also include ticket stubs to your first movie, or little notes that you left each other, maybe even a little hint of your cologne left on the page.
You could also consider getting or making a box to put the love letters in. It could be something ornamental you could leave on a mantel or shelf and something you can go through together from time to time.
You could even do a recipe style box like the one above and write a little love note for each letter of the alphabet.
Jewelry
If your lady is very classic you just simply can’t go wrong with jewelry. Try and find out about a piece she’s been eying for a while or something she’s always dreamt of having. It might be a little goodie from Tiffany’s or something handmade and one of a kind from Etsy.
Whatever it is, wrap it beautifully in a box and make sure it comes with a love letter. The beauty and excitement of a gift like this is half in the presentation and anticipation of opening a box done up so well.
All in all, there are so many great ideas out there of gifts that you can buy your perfect girl. At the end of the day it shouldn’t matter how much you spent on the gift but the meaning, thought, time, and personal effort you put into the gift.
She is, after all, getting you, the best gift you could give her.
