3. Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman got married in Big Sur, CA, in September. Anne wore a custom design created by legendary couturier Valentino Garavani, who retired from his eponymous label four years ago. As even the sketch above shows, the strapless gown was breathtaking: painstakingly crafted from ivory silk and d’esprit tulle by seamstresses in Valentino’s Rome atelier. The train was hand-painted with shades of pink and embroidered with satin flowers. A 1920s-inspired veil topped off the look, which featured a large flower covered in crystal beads.

The bride asked Brazilian dress designer Ducarmo Castelo Branco, a 78-year-old family friend, to craft a gown for her. We love that!

Bridesmaid Gift Ideas...Trust Us, They'll Thank You!

It seems as though bridesmaid gifts have become even more predictable than Grandma’s knitted Christmas sweaters. Most brides struggle to find something meaningful and unique to give to her bridesmaids as a token of her gratitude.

Brides also grapple between practicality and sentimentality; paying for manicures and pedicures seems like a fleeting sentiment, while a bedazzled robe with “bridesmaid” written on the back gets tucked away in a drawer forever.

At Mrs. Bridal Boutique we have a whole floor dedicated to accessories and gift ideas for both the Bride and the Maids. Here are our top choices!

Tuck a gift certificate for a pre-wedding manicure into an ELA handbag for the ultimate thank you!

Get ready in style with robes from Sabine and Sailor. Not only will they make great gifts that your girls will wear over and over again, but it will also make for some great pre-wedding photos!

Want to take it a step further? Have the robes hanging on these great wood and wire hangers personalized with each girl’s name. Talk about awesome photo-opt! 

No-doubt, if you’ve ever been a bridesmaid, it can get pretty expensive. Pairing a pair of fabulous earrings for one girl, an amazing bracelet for another (that they can wear on the wedding day) with a gift card for a manicure or pedicure will be a much-appreciated gift. Personal AND Practical!

Not into the wedding-day jewelry thing? What about a ring, earrings, or a necklace to compliment each girl’s personal style? We love these inexpensive options by Gorjana:

 

Feeling generous? Pair a piece of cool jewelry with a pair of DAMN HEELS and ensure that your girls will be dancing the night away in style and without the pain!
