For an intimate and meaningful way to honor the special women in your life at your wedding, create your bouquet out of their favorite flowers. Have the bridesmaids hold a bouquet of the flower they chose for your bouquet. And have the other women, like the Moms, Grandmas, Aunts, etc, wear corsages of the bloom they selected as their favorite. This is a symbolic way to show the women in your life that you will carry the relationship you have with each of them through your married life as well.

But to our surprise, our usually outgoing, flirtatious, happy–go–lucky bride was not that at all!

It is a daunting task to have to come up with a perfect bridesmaid gift that all of your leading ladies will appreciate, especially if you're trying to think outside of the silver, monogrammed jewelry) box.
