Wedding Wednesday: Gifts For Your Bridal Party

Selecting gifts for your wedding party is an important task. These special people have seen you through your engagement, and then some. Hopefully, you don't have as many attendants as shown above. If you do, a definitive budget is necessary. Find inspiration here!

 

Bridesmaids Tote Bags

Well done and much needed. These bags will tote all the things that your bride tribe needs for getting ready on your special day. They are so affordable, that you surely will want to fill them with a little something extra.

Love Mia Co.

Personalized Groomsmen Flask

For that toast before the walk down the aisle. Good looking enough to slip inside a tuxedo jacket.

Personalized Sterling Silver Cuff Links

Simple for the modern man. Handmade.

Cuff Link Shop Boutique

Champagne Nightshirt

A bubbly gift that your girls will enjoy long after the champagne is gone. 100% cotton. Add their monogram to make it personal.

All Weather Bangles 

These bracelet bundles are not only fashion forward, but they are mindful.They actually turn routines into rituals. The idea is to make a thoughtful intention as one slides each bangle on the wrist. A gorgeous gift!

Oh the places they will go, and with style, thanks to you. This is a gift that will be used by both the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Swing Time: Bold Statement Earrings Are Back In Play

 

{ Via Bergdorf Goodman}

Earrings are something I know about. My outfit is never complete without a pair. For me the bigger the better. In the 80's we called this style shoulder dusters. The one thing that remains the same with the trend - each style makes a statement. How bold are you?

Diamond & Fringe Earrings

One of my favorite jewelry designers. Sheryl's designs have a little bit of an edge to them. They live up to the "swing time" title with 5 inches of sterling silver fringe. The diamonds are featured in the stud piece of the earring. Fab!

Neiman Marcus

Shiva Statement Earrings 

Inspired by Kilim motifs and traditional Southwestern design. 

Kendra Scott

BEN-AMUN

The recipe author states that this sauce is "lose-your-mind " good. And I bet it is. With pumpkin, squash, fire roasted tomatoes, sage, allspice, and cream, how could it be bad?

The recipe is a creamy cheesy spin on your favorite party dip. It's a white pizza lovers dream.

My idea of a pizza pie! As you probably know, deep dish was first created in my hometown, Chicago. Must be why I love it so much. This recipe is perfection.

Williams Sonoma

Linguine With Grilled Tuna, Capers and Parsley

This simple Mediterranean inspired dish features complex flavors. Every component is grilled. 

Epicurious

Pesto Pizza with Feta Stuffed Crust

This just might be the most exciting dish of the roundup. I thought the idea of stuffing the crust to be genius. I mean, can you ever have too much cheese? Pesto will take it up several notches.

Half Baked Harvest

Classic Italian Lasagna

Did you know that the original lasagna comes from Bologna, Italy? I did not. And it always featured a creamy bechamel sauce and meat ragu. My last effort at lasagna for company featured the bechamel. I will never make the dish without it again. The sauce elevates it to something very special.

Chatelain

Pasta with Grilled Eggplant, Smoky Tomato Sauce and Basil Walnut Pistou

~ Gluten Free ~

This dish is like a garden on your plate. It's  both earthy and healthy. The smoky tomato sauce sounds heavenly. If you no longer are grilling outdoors, grill that eggplant in a grill pan!

Heather Christo

French Onion Pizza

If you love French Onion Soup as much as I do, this pizza is for you. I believe that caramelized onions make almost any dish better. These are cooked for an hour in butter with thyme, bay leaves, sherry wine, and beef stock. Oh my!

The Original Dish

Bucatini Pasta with Burrata & Fried Breadcrumbs

Don't you just want a spoon for that burrata? This is an olive oil based sauce where the seasoning is key. I think it looks fabulous.

The Original Dish

Pumpkin Sausage Sage Pizza

This recipe features some of my favorite fall ingredients. I bet it smells wonderful while it is baking. And that crust!!
