We love our little wedding details and personalised and heartfelt touches can really make the day that bit more special and memorable. Getting ready with your maids is a definite wedding highlight so more and more brides are opting to mark this exciting part of the morning with some cute and thoughtful touches such as matching robes, coffee cup sleeves with each girl’s title on it and of course lots of snaps of the bridal party getting ready. Another sweet idea that has won the heart of many a bride and her maid is the personalised wedding hanger and it is sure to get even bigger in 2015. Brides are surprising their ladies by hanging each dress on a personalised keepsake hanger as a thank you – not only do they look ridiculously cute, but they’re practical too as each maid will know exactly which dress is hers. It is also the perfect place to pop a heartfelt handwritten note to your friends telling them just how much you’ve appreciated their help.
Clouds and Currents have a great range of hangers on NotontheHighstreet (as do Etsy) adorned with bows, flowers and personalised wire messages, suitable for the entire bridal party even mom – they’ve also ones for the little folks – flower girls and page boys. Or if you’re looking to up the glamour stakes on the morning, Pearls & Pastries on Etsy have lots of gorgeous glittery hanger options. Of course if you’ve a rake of girls to kit out or a dwindling budget, the last thing you want is to add hangers to your shopping list so we’ve rounded up some cute DIY options as well – you can easily make plain wooden hangers look so much more with a lick of white paint and some pretty tulle or coloured bows (pom poms, pearls, flowers and diamantes are also easy ways to add a little extra glitz) of if you know someone who has neat writing or is a dab hand with calligraphy, you can scrawl their names on plain wooden hangers (we also came across this nifty idea on Hometalk where they used old wallpaper to give hangers a new lease of life – some floral prints would look fab). Another sweet and budget friendly option is to simply hang personalised tags from plain wooden hangers – see some gorgeous examples below!
