WEDDING BLOG

Day three of our wedding giveaway week has arrived, and today it’s all about Gratitude and Gifts! We’re talking about gift registries for you, gifts of thanks for your friends and family, and gratitude in general for finding the kind of love you want to share for the rest of your life! Woo-hoo! Our big winner for today will receive:

– A pair of beautiful champagne flutes from Monique Lhuillier’s home gifts collection

– A trio of colorful glassybaby hand blown glass votives

– A set of 50 personalized thank you notes from Papeterie

– And a $50 gift certificate from Gent Supply Company

To enter to win leave us a comment explaining what you find you’re most grateful for as you plan your wedding, and what kinds of gifts you’re thinking about giving to all those who are helping you along the way. We’ll choose a winner at the end of the day on Sunday, and announce the results on Monday, December 21st.

Most of us know Monique Lhuillier for her stunning wedding dress designs, but she also has a line of china, glassware and home gifts that are to-die-for. With details reminiscent of delicate wedding fabric embellishments, these lovely pieces would make every day feel like a special occasion. The team at Monique Lhuillier is generously offering a pair of their champagne flutes so you can toast to each other on your wedding day, and again and again on any day! You can shop the home gifts collection online at MoniqueLhuililer.com, and you can even set up an online wedding registry there.

Glassybaby glass votives are major favorites of ours at Junebug. The color range to choose from is irresistible, and the warm glow they create once they’re lit it a joy to see. Take it from me, when shopping for glassybabys, it is so hard to stop at just one! These amazing home decor accessories make the perfect gifts for Moms, bridesmaids and helpful friends, and now glassybaby even offers a rental program for weddings in the Seattle area and an online gift registry for couples anywhere in the country. Check out their website to set up your wedding registry and choose from every color under the sun!

Hand written thank you notes are a must for all those wedding presents you’re about to receive, and there is nothing quite as sweet as having personalized notes with your names on them together, side by side. Designer Kimberly Chiu and her team at Papeterie offer a wide variety of pretty thank you notes that come in flat or folded versions and can be customized with your newlywed names. See the full collection of designs on their website, as well as wedding invitations, favor tags, menus, save the dates, and more! 

Gent Supply Company is all about fun gifts and gadgets that any guy would love. Wacky cuff links for your groomsmen, tech gadgets for your Dad, and funky home decor items and kitchen tools to brighten up your soon-to-be-husband’s home. There’s a little something here for everyone, which makes shopping their site a whole lot of fun! Take a look through and see what you find for all the important men in your life and in your wedding!

Thank you to the businesses who are so generously sharing their products with all of us, and good luck to all who enter! Don’t forget to enter the giveaways from Monday and Tuesday, and to check in for more goodies on Thursday and Friday too!

It’s day two of our holiday giveaway week, and boy are we having a blast reading all the comments from yesterday! Lucky for us this is just the beginning! Get ready to keep your comments coming because today’s theme is a fun one… Wedding Craft and Decor Accessories! Whether you’re a DIY gal through and through or you’re best at delegating craftiness to those around you, we’ve got some supplies here to add a little pizazz to any style wedding, engagement party, bridal shower or rehearsal dinner. One lucky winner is going to walk away with a gift bag including:

– A limited edition gold print “To Have and To Hold” tote bag from Melangerie

– Two spools of bright and colorful Divine Twine baker’s twine from Whisker Graphics

– A personalized wedding logo from our pals Travis and Kristin at Love Letters Logos

– And a gift certificate for 50 graphic print cupcake wrappers (plus a few fun sample packs) from Bella Cupcake Couture

To enter to win, leave us a comment and tell us all about the fun wedding decor ideas that you’re bouncing around. What’s your wedding style all about? What are your inspirations? Are you incorporating any fabulous details that you simply adore? Just like yesterday’s contest, we’ll take submissions all week long, wrap it up on Sunday night, December 20th, and announce all our winners on Monday the 21st. Good luck!

Designer Elana and her crew at Melangerie create gifts, favors and event accessories for celebrations big and small. We love their creative wedding genealogy charts and think this “To Have and To Hold” tote bag would make the perfect carrier for all your wedding planning and craft supplies. And making it even more perfect for both the holiday season and the wedding world, they’ve printed it with limited edition metallic gold ink! (Because couldn’t use a little more sparkle in their lives?) 

Divine Twine by Whisker Graphics is the most fabulous baker’s twine around! It’s 100% cotton, it’s wound in nice big 240 yard spools, and it comes in 5 fantastic colors. Licorice, orange, lemon, green apple and aqua, they’re all lovely! Our lucky winner will get to choose two spools in the colors of their choice.

A personalized logo for your wedding is a genius way to solidify your theme and carry it through from your save-the-dates all the way to your take home favors. Love Letters Logos makes the process super easy and has gorgeous designs in every style that you can customize to make your own.

If you thought that cupcakes we cute already, you ain’t seen nothin yet. Bella Cupcake Couture’s designer wrappers slip simply around cupcakes to cover up that paper cup and make the base as pretty as the frosted top. They come in regular and mini-cupcake sizes, in loads of colors and designs, and are printed with soy based inks on recycled paper. Even if you don’t win this one, don’t fret! Designer Carrie Middlemiss was generous enough to offer a special treat for all Junebug readers- 20% off all orders through Dec 25th! Thanks Carrie! Simply enter in holidays at checkout.

The Knot and Philosophy have teamed up to create a collection of beauty products to pamper nearly all your pretty parts and to help get you glowing for your big day. I love that their Tying The Knot gift set includes everything from perfume to lip balm to micro-delivery exfoliating pads, as well as their best selling moisturizer with the best name ever, Hope in a Jar!

We’re longtime fans of Bella Umbrella and the fashion fun that their vintage parasols bring to a wedding! We’ve also been known to head to their site and their local Seattle boutique to purchase gifts for our girlfriends. Who wouldn’t love to own an umbrella that looks like this? From lacy and white to bold and bright, you’ve never seen parasol options like this!

Designer Julianne Smith has a passion for wedding garters that’s contagious, and her modern designs offer a fantastic way to wear your something blue in a playful and unexpected way. Check out her website for all of her garter collections as well as custom design options. Our favorite little extra? Making your garter a keepsake by adding your hand embroidered monogram and wedding date!
