Something borrowed something blue – something more original

25 February 2009

I have no idea why, but there always seems to be a spate of weddings around spring time. Everyone wants to get married when the blossom is just appearing on the trees, when the world is emerging from a cold and miserably damp winter. It must be something to do with fresh hope, new green shoots sprouting up all over the place, and the beginnings of warmer weather and the chance for the bride (and the guests for that matter) to wear an outfit that may be somewhat skimpy, without having to wrap up warm with a thick woolly shawl hiding that amazing dress that took so long to find. And with the gorgeous bridal gown come the required traditional items of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. That is left entirely to the bride to sort out. And it is your job as an invited guest to find wedding gifts that are much more original than that old rhyme suggests. So where on earth are you going to get your wedding gift ideas from?

I suggest that you look at the extensive and precise wedding gifts list that the couple have so kindly issued you with, and just use it as guidance. Expand on their ideas with ideas of your own. Be creative and original and you will soon start coming up with some amazing and inspirational wedding gifts possibilities that will have them suitably enthralled.

They will probably not have considered a calendar to put on their wedding gifts list, so surprise them with a special personalised wedding calendar, featuring the happy couple's names on every month's picture. It will make them go 'Ah!' every time they look at it, and with the added bonus of an extra month to include their very first wedding anniversary, they are not likely to forget the special date of their wedding day, with this beautiful wedding gift. The thrill of seeing their names spelt out across a deserted beach, or illuminating a firework covered sky will remain with them throughout their first year as a married couple.

A personalised gift is so special, and always a treat to receive. A personalised Gold Disc Replica Twelve Inch is presented in an attractive aluminium or gold coloured frame that holds this lovely personalised wedding gift. Consisting of a hit song of your choice or even a personal message, this makes a lovely wedding gift that can be displayed and played for years to come, and remind the bride and groom of their own special day. You can add a personal message on a plaque to be displayed beneath the CD, making this wedding gift a thoughtful and attractive one that will mark the occasion forever.

The happy couple is bound to love wedding gifts that contain something delicious to eat and drink as well as lots of lovely, cute, cuddly and useful items too. A Wedding Hamper contains a choice of red, white or rose wine with a personalised and engraved message. The bride and groom can toast each other to their hearts content using the elegantly engraved glass flutes and light the lovely candle included in this wedding gift pack. By candlelight they can enjoy the yummy continental chocolate selection and gaze lovingly at their wedding photo, encased in a stunning glass photo frame. But who gets to cuddle the cute little teddy with heart that is also included in this fabulous wedding gift wicker hamper? This is such an impressive wedding gift that includes so many gorgeous items, and when they have drunk all the wine and eaten all the chocolates, they still have a lovely picnic basket to enjoy days out on those warm sunny days to come.

Did the happy couple include a set of salad servers on their wedding gifts list? They will not be expecting the lovely and romantic heart shaped salad servers that you select for their wedding gifts. This gorgeous design comes in a gift box and will add a touch of glamour and romance to any meal for two. When their dinner guest set eyes on their fabulous wedding gifts, they will be clamouring to discover where they can buy a pair. With every lettuce leaf placed on their plates the bride and groom will sigh with the memory of opening this wedding gift together on that well remembered day.

A simple yet colourful wedding gift, and one that would be an ideal gift from a child, is the Pocket Garden Congratulations Nasturtium pack. This lovely wedding gift only requires the sealed pack to be snipped open and water to be added regularly, for their new home to be brightened with the glowing colours of these vibrant flowers. Alternatively these seedlings could be transferred to a garden flower bed or hanging basket outdoors. This is a truly touching wedding gift to give the bride and groom to open when the time is right.
