Getting Ready Morning
A beautiful gift for your bridesmaids, and makes for the cutest photos! We went with the lilac, and your bridesmaids can even choose if they want pants or shorts.
New Hydrangea PJs - Notched Collar Style Pj Sets in Blooming Hydrangeas Pattern - Bridesmaids Pjs
Keeping hydrated is a MUST. Assign one of your bridesmaids to make sure you’re drinking water, and another to make sure your water bottle makes its way to each location. The Owala is great because the straw means minimal lipstick smudging.
Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel 24oz
A speaker is a must have for your getting ready playlist. We didn’t have one and were forced to listen to SiriusXM on the hotel TV. Learn from our mistakes.
Anker Soundcore 2 Bluetooth Speaker, IPX7
Ceremony
If either of you is Jewish, this is a lovely way to personalize and commemorate your ceremony. Choose two colors of glass to stomp, and after you’re officially married, those shards become part of a beautiful mezuzah.
Stunning Two-Tone Wedding Glass Mezuzah Keepsake
A ketubah is a Jewish marriage contract, generally signed before the ceremony. This one from an etsy artist is not only beautiful, but you can customize the text. This was especially nice for us, because my wife is not Jewish, and we are a queer coup...
Personalized Wildflower Meadow Watercolor Ketubah, Custom Jewish Wedding Certificate
My wife is Indian, and in Hindu and Sikh weddings, the vermala necklace symbolizes each of us choosing the other. We wanted to incorporate this into our ceremony because it is important to us to represent both of our cultures.
Varmala Pair of Exclusive Baby breath wedding garlands , Engagement Mala, Honor Mala, , Bride & Groom
If you’re writing your own vows, do not read them off a phone. These vow books are customizable with your wedding colors and your names, and make for a beautiful keepsake after the ceremony.
Personalized Two Vow Books with Gilded Edge, Elegant Bride & Groom Gift, 80 Pages(40 Sheets), Luxury Speech Notebook, Hard Cover-4.3 x 6in
Decor & Reception
We used these to display our table numbers. After the wedding day, use them to display some of your photos!
Vintage-looking Gold Picture Frames
These make for the most beautiful grand exit. My favorite photos from the night are from this moment.
Light up LED Silk Fairy Wands
My sister used one of these notebooks to write her toast in, since we said no phones! Since she got the 3-pack, she gave one to my sister-in-law for her toast as well.
Field Notes 3-Pack Pitch Black Memo Books, Dot-Graph
Letting our guests take Polaroids to add to our guest book was so sweet! Plus these cameras come in so many colors - we went with the lilac to match our lavender and sage theme.
Fujifilm instax mini 12 Camera - Lilac Purple
Extra film for the cameras is a must. I’d recommend more than you think you need - if there’s leftovers, now you have something to take on the honeymoon!
