These days with all of the e-mailing, text messaging and IM-ing that goes on, personalized paper stationery feels like such a sweet luxury! I think these adorable custom stationery sets and bookplates (I love bookplates!) from on-line shop Pink Loves Brown would make fantastic gifts for thanking your bridesmaids. Designer Nicole Balch can whip up a batch of lovely paper treats with fun details like bicycles, scissors, paper airplanes, and of course your friend’s name or monogram, and you will give a gift that is truly one of a kind. Just like each of your girlfriends.

Whether you choose a pair that’s traditional and elegant, or rich and organic, the touch of color near your face can brighten up your skin and eyes and add a depth of style to your day.

Junebug reader and bride-to-be Steffanie tipped me off to the beautiful artwork of Anne Watkins, and I am in love! Anne is a watercolor artist whose work has been seen in many, many wedding magazines as well as being regularly featured in The New York Times and Harper’s. Her paintings are so whimsical and intimate while still being utterly modern and chic, what a perfect combination. How incredible would it be to have a painting like this as a keepsake from your wedding day! Are any of you planning to have an artist paint at your wedding?
