Happy Friday, Everyone!

Earlier this week, we shared some gift ideas on the blog for bridesmaids (if you missed it, we raved about these mud masks and bath teas).  Today, we’ve got more bridesmaids gift ideas from the DIY Bride inbox, and a few great finds for the other men and women in your wedding party.

First off, let’s just point out how clever a handbag is for a gift idea.  It’s functional and thoughtful.  Many can be custom made-to-order with a monogram, initials, specific colors, etc.   I for one like getting a gift that I can use daily.  It’s also nice to have fancy bags for special occassions; after all, your wedding is a pretty special occasion so why not pay tribute to that with the gifts you select for your wedding crew.  In today’s post, we’re featuring a bit of both worlds – the practical, use daily type of bag and the fancy, use for parties bag.

Elle & Anne Handbags makes every bag by hand, and they are one-of-a-kind.  Not too pricey, either.  Michelle came to us as a loyal Facebook fan and shared her fantastic bags with us.  Michelle, you make some very pretty bags!  If you all agree, please send her some love.  Take a look…

 

These next fabulous bags can work for pretty much any look, day or night, casual or elegant – from Whiting Davis.

Whiting & Davis Price Range: $98 – $375

And, for the fancy shmancy bags that only a girl can appreciate, we’re think these from Inge Christopher are fabulous.  Custom-designed leathers, Swarovski Elements, and high-quality Japanese glass beads are just a few of the materials used to create these timeless pieces of art.

Inge Christopher Price Range: $108 – $355

That’s it for this week’s fab finds!  Enjoy your weekend!
