My Turn To Pop The Question!

With the wedding venue booked and the date set, the next job on the wedding ‘to do’ list was pop the question to my seven bridesmaids! I think most of them knew it was coming after all the wedding talk, but I still wanted it to be a surprise. With bridesmaid proposals becoming more of a ‘thing’ in the world of weddings on Pinterest and social media, I had so many ideas for what I wanted to do! I literally could have spent hundreds of pounds, but I tried not to get too carried away…

First things first, I headed over to Zazzle, a great website if you’re looking for personalised gifts, cards and more! I ordered these lovely floral cards and personalised each one. I loved the colours and design of the card and thought they complimented the overall look/theme I want for the wedding. If you’re looking for something similar, I can’t recommend this website enough! The print quality is so good, and the prices are even better! I also ordered these adorable ‘Team Bride’ stickers which added a cute finishing touch.

After looking at so many ideas, I had finally decided to put together a little box of goodies for each of my bridesmaids. I found some fab sparkly boxes in Flying Tiger in various different colours - perfect for what I wanted to do! Then filled them with a few of every girl’s favourite things: jewellery, a candle with a cheesy sentiment and a bottle of wine! Next it was all about the presentation, I spent hours trying to get the presentation on point! I made sure I had plenty of tissue paper, and played around until each one looked perfect. Finally, I tied the boxes together with some metallic ribbon and these amazing firework bows from Card Factory (literally one of my favourite shops in the world!) 

Finally I had the small of task of actually asking each one to be my bridesmaid… I decided to do the asking over Christmas, and thankfully each one of them said yes (especially as I promised not to make them wear something hideous!)  

I hope my bridesmaids loved their boxes as much as I loved putting them together! Here’s to 21 months of wedding talk and planning - I hope you girls are ready for it… #TEAMBRIDE 👰  

Do any of you have a bridesmaid proposal stories? Whether you’re the bride or the bridesmaid, I’d love to hear all about it! 

Lots of love,

L.A. xoxo
