With Mother's Day coming up, I thought this was an appropriate time to jump back into blogging about "The Little Things" - the details that made up our wedding day! Who knows, maybe this will spark some inspiration for you :)
When it came to our mothers, we wanted to give them gifts that would have special meaning, and be a nice reminder of our wedding day. We knew we would be gifting them photos in the future, but that was after the fact - we wanted something to give them the morning of the wedding as a "Thank you" for all of their love and support leading up to the day.
After lots of brainstorming and online searching, we came up with two different ideas!
First, we found Sarah Ku on Etsy! {Have I made it clear how much I love Etsy yet??} She had beautiful and simple designs, and so I reached out to her about getting two custom prints done. The first, for Ant's mom was a quote from "You are my sunshine" which has always had special meaning to them. For my mom, we used a part of the poem that she would be reading during our ceremony by e.e. cummings. Sarah did a beautiful job with the wording and watercolors! Each one is unique and special, exactly what we were looking for!
For the second part of the gift, we worked with Kelley from Aquinnah Jewelry {now also on Etsy!} to create pieces for each of our moms. She had recently posted pictures of new butterfly charms she had that I absolutely LOVED. I had her make a gold butterfly necklace for my MIL, and silver butterfly earrings with pearl accents for my mom!
What did you give your mother on your wedding day?? Or if you aren't married yet....what are you getting mom for mother's day??? It is coming up in just a couple weeks and I am ALWAYS looking for good ideas for our mommas :)
