Surprise the Groomsmen with Unique Gifts - Get Ideas

A groom must never forget to thank his groomsmen with small gifts. Just as brides always give their bridesmaids a little something, the groom should also show appreciation for his groomsmen. The gift does not have to be extravagant. The key is to choose a small but meaningful and useful token to say thank you for being all the help with the wedding and for the many years of friendship. Here are some ideas for groomsmen gifts:

•    Something for the wedding – You can give your groomsmen practical things that they can use for the wedding. If you are having a beach wedding, for example, why not give them sunglasses? You may also present them with matching bow ties or ties.

•    Something they like – Don’t forget to consider what your groomsmen are into. Maybe you have a groomsman who is into fishing. Why not gift him with a bait set?

•    Something party-ready – If your groomsmen are party boys, then they’ll definitely like a bottle of their favorite drinks, be it beer or whisky. For those with a smaller budget, a belt with a bottle opener can be a cool gift, too.

•    Something personalized – If you really have no idea what to give your groomsmen, you can always choose something generic and put their names on it. Luxurious embroidered towels with their initials will always be appreciated. They can even use these towels when preparing for your wedding.

When it comes to giving gifts to groomsmen, it’s the thought that counts. If you need more ideas, you can always use a wedding planner app. Wedding planner apps usually have a list of souvenir and party favor providers in your area. What’s more, an app can give you access to forums where you can ask other people what kind of groomsmen gifts they are giving away so you can get even more ideas.

Summer Wedding Flower Collection - Choose your Suppliers

Your flowers will tie up the look and vibe of your entire wedding. If you are getting married in the summer, then you have the opportunity to use cheery blooms in reds and oranges. Choose a supplier who is highly experienced in handling summer blooms and summer weddings for best results. Flowers need to be handled with special care during the hot months because they tend to wilt fast—often, even before the reception starts.

Create a list of prospective flower suppliers so you can compare prices and experience. Never choose the first florist you find. It’s always best to shop around. Use a wedding planner app where you can find a list of florists close to your wedding venue. You may also check out the forums and see which florists can be trusted according to other brides. Reviews from actual customers can say a lot about the supplier.

Request for a portfolio from your prospective florists. Look at pictures of the wedding arrangements they have created before. Do you like their aesthetic? It can also be a good idea to meet up with your floral suppliers in person, in their shops. This way, you can get a better idea on what to expect for your wedding day. Check the flowers they sell. Do they look fresh? You should also ask about where the flowers come from.

When you order a summer wedding flower collection, the supplier will typically handle everything you will need—flowers for the aisle, your bouquet, the corsages, and even the centerpieces on the table. You can trust an experienced florist to choose the most suitable summer flowers for your wedding. Be sure to talk to them about your theme to ensure that the flowers will be in sync with your concept. You should also disclose any allergies you might have to certain flowers. You don’t want to sneeze your way through your wedding!
