Planning a wedding is a big undertaking that’s often a group effort, with the best man throwing the groom-to-be’s bachelor party, the mother of the bride helping pick out the all-important dress, and even the adorable nephew bravely serving as ring bearer. As you’re selecting your vendors and cake flavors, don’t forget to plan a special show of gratitude for those closest to you who’ve helped you along the way. Read on to discover unique ways to say “thank you” to your family and wedding party, shared by some of our favorite island retailers.
“Treat your bridal party to the ultimate custom gift that they will keep for years to come. Our boutique will host your bridal party with bubbles to celebrate as you and your bridal party are fitted for custom sandals for your wedding. Sandals can be ready in a couple days, which make them perfect even for destination weddings.”
Belinda Barbieri, Della Valle Sandals
“The perfect bridal party gift in our collection is definitely our Custom Signature Dress Shirt which many grooms give as gifts to their groomsmen. The groom is able to completely build the shirt from the ground up with his custom color monogram, buttons, thread, collars, fit, and fabric. Giving your closest friends a custom shirt with their initials, nickname, or wedding date is a very special gift. We have chosen this particular item because it’s timeless and can be worn over and over again with that special time and place ingrained in the back of their minds.”
Sam Outerbridge, Coral Coast Clothing
“There is something a little dreamy about offsetting our pink sand designs with the milky softness of freshwater pearls. Designed for brides and wedding parties, these elegant pearl variations on our Splash Collection classic round and teardrops have now made their way into our permanent offering. We love the way the coral and ivory tones dance together in the Splash Pearl Collection Medium Diana Pendant.”
Ticole Swan, Alexandra Mosher Studio Jewellery
“One of our favorite products this season is a range of glass vases from the very talented Bermudian glassware
designer Jahday Ford. These vases are a part of his Deconstruct Collection and are created combining methods of digital water-jet cutting with steel molds to form the
geometrical figure. They come in a range of colors, and we think they are the perfect gift.”
Andrea Sundt, & Partners
“Our pick for bridal party gifts would have to be our Bermuda shorts, which are the perfect combination of tradition with a modern edge. TABS are available in a rainbow of colors and a growing selection of fabrics to give you the look and feel you’re after. We offer custom embroidery as well as tailoring so that each pair you gift is as unique as your wedding party. If you’re not sure about your size, book a private shopping night and enjoy refreshments while we get you and your crew kitted out in Bermuda style. Complete the look with a pair of knee socks and a complementing pocket square to add style and panache to the ensemble.”
