A different kind of Bridesmaid gift...one for now and later...



The traditional gift of a necklace or earrings is always an appropriate gift for a bridesmaid. The fact is, a lot of times, they wear it that day, tuck it away for later and then don't end up using it again. So what gift will make your maids think you're the best bride ever???

At elle&anne, we find that the best feedback we ever receive is when a bride gives a custom clutch or handbag as a gift. Whether they are all made of the same fabric, or each bag matches the individual personalities, they are the perfect "now and later" gift! There are so many affordable options from the MORGAN for $40 to the LISA CLUTCH or JOANNE CLUTCH for around $60. We've had several brides give the CASEY, a true day-to-day purse, which runs $80. One of my favorite ideas was from a bride who did the EMILY TOTE at $57 and filled it with bottled water, crackers, lip gloss and other fun items for her bridesmaids to enjoy the weekend of the wedding. There is a discount if you order 3 or more bags and an even bigger one if you order 5 or more!

Either way, elle&anne will meet with you for a personal consultation whether online through skype or email or in person to help you choose the fabric and embellishments you would like best. Check out www.eahandbags.com or call 434-229-0631 for a consultation.

Oh...and you MUST get one for yourself...after all, you're doing all of the work!
