Card Boxes That’ll Make You Flip Your Lid!

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

A lot of wedding guests bring a card with a gift certificate or check as a gift for the bride and groom. So of course you’re going to need something pretty to put them in! We’ve seen card boxes that are stacked together to look like presents or cake and they are beautiful but what about ones that are even more unique? We found some that you’ll want to keep long after the big day is over.

How perfect would this be for a destination wedding? This vintage sky blue suitcase by MudPies & Marigolds features a rustic burlap ‘cards’ bunting banner.


These sweet rustic boxes are from The Perfect Cardbox which we blogged about last week. The red barn box would be beautiful for a Valentine’s day wedding or gift. You can also personalize the outside with photos and a nameplate.


The glass box is beautifully handmade by Mrs. Tildos Attic. It’s carefully cut to size, wrapped in black copper foil, and is fully soldered together. It can be personalized after your wedding by sealing the box top opening with another piece of glass that is engraved with your wedding date and names.


This lovely box is by My Primitive Boutique. It’s painted in a soft ivory and has been aged with their ‘Crackled & Distressed’ technique. Perfect for a rustic or shabby chic wedding!

birdhouse card box
This card box by Birdhouse Accents may be the most functional one we found! This charming bird house box comes with two roofs, one for accepting cards and the other to use as a real birdhouse. You can add your wedding date and name on the front and customize the paint colors to match you wedding or even your own house.


These card boxes are so sweet and unique! Nana Montana engraves and distresses these keepsake boxes which are all handcrafted with care and built to last.

A Perfect Cardbox

At BravoBride we love items that can be used again after the big day which is why I am excited to share our newest sponsor with you, The Perfect Cardbox. Their photo frame wedding card boxes come in black or white and lock to keep your wedding cards safe. These card boxes also rotate on a base to display your photos and after all, who doesn’t love to look at their wedding pictures.  You can also use it again for a graduation, baby shower or anniversary party, just switch the photos out.

Top 5 Budget Bridal Trends for 2012

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

Even with the economy on the rise, brides are still finding new and innovative ways to stay within their wedding budget. This is why we wanted to share the top 5 budget bridal trends you’ll be seeing more of in 2012.

1. Paperless Invitations

Several companies offer electronic wedding invitations now. They are formatted like a traditional invitation but also give you the opportunity to track your RSVP’s online, manage guest lists and include multiple wedding events. Not only are they a fraction of the cost of paper invitations and postage but they’re also a huge time saver and eco-friendly.

2. Preowned Wedding Items

Most wedding items are generally used once and for a short period of time. Because of this brides are buying everything from gently used wedding dresses to decorations and reselling them on online marketplaces like BravoBride. It’s a great way to help another bride-to-be and to recoup wedding costs.

3. Cash Registries

Starting a cash registry in lieu of gifts is a new concept that is becoming increasingly more popular. They are many websites that provide this service, which allows brides to use their ‘gifts’ on their wedding expenses, honeymoon or even a down payment on a house.

4. Faux Flowers

Brides are beginning to forgo the traditional bridal bouquets and opt for non-floral arrangements. Bouquets are being made entirely of brooches, paper, clay and even felt. These types of flowers will never wilt or die and you can use them as a wedding keepsake for years to come.

5. Rent Your Wedding

Grooms have been renting their tuxes for years but we are starting to see a new trend for brides and bridesmaids as well. Some new businesses are offering rental bridesmaids dresses and wedding gowns and you can rent your bridal accessories too such as earrings, necklaces and headpieces.

2012 brides have a lot more options then brides did even a few years ago. It’s exciting to see what even more innovation and smart wedding ideas this New Year will bring.

Fabulous Find – Maid of Clay

Friday, July 1st, 2011

I recently started to take a ceramics class and was looking at pottery online and stumbled across these unique vases from Maid of Clay. Felicia from Maid of Clay creates these gorgeous pieces that are sure to become an instant heirloom based on their sentimental value alone.

wedding vase
These unique vases could also make a wonderful addition to the guestbook table, the seating arrangement table, or as a centerpiece at the shower. Each vase is personalized with the couple’s first names and the date of the wedding.


The names and date are painstakingly hand carved out of the clay. The block lettering has a more modern look while the cursive tends to be more romantic and wedding-like.


These shorter vases are perfect for gifts to the mothers of the bride and the groom on the couple’s wedding day as a small thank you.

Unique flower girl basket
Maid of Clay even makes flower girl baskets and each one is handthrown and carved with a monogram. The handle has been attached at the back of the basket to allow for easy access to the petals inside.


Who says you have to be married to have a vase with your names on it? This vase is similar to the wedding vase except it has no date. Add your own name or your children’s names for a memorable gift.
