Wedding season is among us all, and with that I thought I would share a series of wedding planning tips and ideas I used! Whether you are a bride-to-be, almost one, or single as a pringle, these are great gift ideas to keep in mind for ANY of the women in your #girlsquad.
Planning for my wedding was extremely stressful, as I think it is for everyone...But my favorite part of planning was coming up with gift ideas to show the ones we loved how appreciative we were.
I had six bridesmaids, some were family and others were from college, childhood, and high school. These women are all a vital part of who I am and I would have given them the world if I could. But since I couldn't afford the world, or even just a house on the world, I decided I would muster up my savvy shopping abilities with a creative mind and come up with someone unique but thoughtful!
Below includes the items I gifted my bridesmaids, feel free to ask me any questions. I loved shopping for their gift bags.

PSSST DRY SHAMPOO
This link is a GREAT deal on Amazon. I bought the trial sizes for my ladies but for the same price could have gone with the larger size cans if I had found this deal. It comes in "packs" so make sure you see that!
Mario Badescu Rose Water Facial Spray
Can't praise this enough. Probably some of my girls favorite item to refresh with throughout the long day.
Voluspa Mini Candle
I got so giddy when I found this deal. These candles are my go to, and this price at Anthro is hard to beat. Tip-buy on a day they are doing 20% off .
Relaxing Bath Salts
These are German bath salts, and they rock. I gave my girls some I found at World Market, but if I could go back I would get these. I ordered some not too long ago and I'm in love. Come in pack of 4, too!
Handmade Drop Jewel Necklaces by Carson Morris
I really wanted to give my girls something that they can wear past wedding day, and found a beautiful necklace online...but it was WAY out of ya girl's budget. My sweet friend, also college freshman year roomie, makes jewelry and agreed to make similar necklaces for such a good price! They were the month jewel of my wedding month, too.
Velvet Robes
These were probably my favorite find. Unfortunately, Target has discontinued them...but I suggest visiting this brand on target online and looking through. They are GREAT quality and all unique.
My robe seen in picture at the top is linked here. I would highly recommend it! Plus, it's only $20.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas to gifts your squad, Happy Wedding Season!
