The Mrs. Box is an intricate velvet ring box that can come in any color, size, and can be embellished with any engraving. And did I mention it looks absolutely gorgeous and delicate?! These little heirloom pieces make for the perfect wedding day details in wedding photos, and make the best storage for a wedding ring to be cherished and secured. The velvet material of these boxes are of the highest quality and feels luxurious. You can’t go wrong with one of these beautiful boxes as a Christmas gift to remember! This ring box is the one that was used on my wedding day and it added the perfect, most delicate detail in my wedding photos!

Adding a wax seal to your wedding invites or day of details is something that is often overlooked, but let me just say is completely WORTH IT. Wax seals add a whole new level of personalization to a bride’s invitations and wedding details that looks STUNNING in photos. Purchasing wax seals for a bride is a perfect holiday gift idea because a bride may not even be thinking about incorporating this detail, but it’s a detail that they definitely won’t regret. I added a wax seal to my wedding invitations (as seen in the photo above!) and was able to use the extras for detail shots on my wedding day (which I highly recommend doing if you have extras!).

No. 3 Personalized Wedding Dress Hanger
A customized wedding dress hanger is a classic wedding MUST HAVE! This is another detail that a bride might not be necessarily thinking of prior to her wedding, but I promise will absolutely cherish this on her wedding day. These personalized hangers add an extra special detail to a bride’s wedding dress, and you can even get personalized hangers for all of the bridesmaids to tie everything together! This is a great wedding keepsake and accentuates the wedding dress in photos beautifully.

Vow books are one of the most intimate and thoughtful gifts for a bride-to-be. I had a vow book made for Brett and I’s wedding and it is one of my most cherished keepsakes from our wedding (as shown above!). If you plan to write your own vows for your wedding ceremony, these books are the perfect place to keep them! Having your vows written in a book that you can look back on each anniversary (and share it with family for generations to come) is such a nostalgic reminder of such an intimate and emotional moment from your wedding day. You can even get the vow book customized with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date on the front (highly recommend)!

Purchasing an Album gift card for a bride is a great gift idea if a bride is showing interest in a future wedding album! I cannot stress this enough, wedding albums are the PERFECT way to look back at your photos from your wedding day for years to come. These books are absolutely stunning and are completely customizable! I would recommend checking with your wedding photographer to see if they offer album gift cards as an option! Every bride is sure to love this gift!
Getting a perfume for a bride is always a great gift idea because a strong scent is the perfect finishing touch on a bride’s wedding day. I love the nostalgia that scents bring with taking you back to past moments, people and places. My perfume from my wedding day brings me back to those exact moments with Brett, my friends, and family every single time I smell it. You just can’t go wrong with a perfume for a bride- and if you can customize it by putting the bride’s name and wedding date on it, even better! Plus, they make for great detail shots in the morning!

A personalized bride robe is such a fun and easy gift that you can NEVER go wrong with! These silky robes come in a variety of patterns, colors and customizable options and are generally pretty affordable. Plus, these robes make for a PERFECT photo op on the wedding day. What bride doesn’t want a photo with her and all of her bridesmaids in their silky robes getting ready together on her big day?!

Engraved ring plates are a perfect gift for a bride because every bride needs a personalized spot to hold her ring! It’s so important to keep your ring in a safe and secure spot that also looks beautiful on your vanity or bedside table. These plates can be customized with different fonts, colors and writing- I’ve found beautiful ones on Etsy (linked above!). These ring plates are a MUST!
No. 9 USB and Keepsake Box Certificate
One of the most practical yet IMPORTANT gifts is this USB and Keepsake Box. These custom keepsake USB boxes hold your beautiful digital images for safe keeping on a USB, pre-loaded with your wedding images. See if your wedding photographer offers products like this so you can give the gift that keeps on giving when the wedding is over!
No. 10 Personalized Wedding Planner
I highly recommend that all bride’s have a wedding planner book to keep their planning organized and consistent. Especially if you are planning your wedding without the help of any professional planners, your wedding planner book will become your best friend! I found that Etsy has amazing wedding planners that are completely customizable and come in a variety of patterns and colors. This is a great Christmas gift for a bride that won’t go unused!
And that’s it! Hope this holiday gift guide helps inspire you this holiday season with all the bride-to-be’s in your life :) Happy shopping!
