There is something special about a winter wedding, something magical about it. While the image of the spring bride with cherry blossoms and the summer bride with that beautiful outdoor ceremony may dominate the culture, winter brides have their own regal beauty. But for many coming up with gift ideas for the winter bride can be daunting. After all, Christmas has just passed and we may be concerned that she has everything she needs. But when it comes to gift ideas for a bride we need to think beyond the season. We are giving the happy couple something that will help them to start their new life together. In order to go beyond the obvious kitchen appliances or dust collectors we need to envision this new life and what will make it easier. Gift ideas are about both the future and the past, as we look for inspiration in both places.
Vintage Gift Ideas
These days everything old is new again and that certainly applies to the home. How about doing some research and gifting them a vintage clock made in the year the bride was born? Many young brides love old vintage looks because it reminds them of childhood and what was in their home when they first dreamed of being a bride. Vintage clocks, vintage wall ornaments or even vintage tablecloths and dishes can be great gift ideas for the newly married couple.
Brainy Gift Ideas
Does the bride to be love books and all things brainy? Is the groom an absolute book nut? While everyone else is coming up with gift ideas for the home, why not feed their brain? How about a gift card for their favorite locally owned bookstore? If that seems too boring, you can attach it to a great looking bookcase to hold all those great books. If they are like most young people, their bookshelves probably consist of bricks and boards or something similar, so why not introduce them to beauty with some great looking bookshelves like the ones shown on the Incredible Things website. Go ahead – get inspired with gift ideas that go beyond that toaster!
Commemorating the Day
Several brides have mentioned this idea – of taking the wedding invitation and turning it into a piece of art. Why not have it photographed and framed and mounted for their wall? Add in a great picture from the wedding and you have the perfect commemoration of the most important day in their life. Not an artist yourself? You could ask a local artist to take the photo and make a small painting based on it. You could have the invitation printed on a pillow and have it embroidered or even made into a wall hanging. The concept is creating gift ideas that are unique to them.
The Gift of Time
If your winter bride and groom live in a city with a great art museum, why not gift them an annual membership to the museum? This is such a great luxury when you are young and they will enjoy the gift all year long. If they aren’t fans of art but love a local amusement park, the same idea applies. An annual membership to a place they both love but can’t always afford will give them a year of pleasure just when they need it most.
His and Her Jewelry
Nothing quite says romance like matching jewelry for the bride and groom. While it is true that they already have those matching rings, how about a set of matching brooches to commemorate the wedding? We have a great collection of beautiful brooches that would look dashing on a coat or sweater for either the bride or groom. What a lovely way to remind you of your new love when you have matching brooches that keep you connected throughout the working day.
