Here comes the brides(maids!)

Uptown Park has found a must-have list of gifts for the maids of honor.  Trendy or traditional, upbeat or laid back, these gifts are the ideal way to say “Thank you” to every bridesmaid on your gift list.

They throw bridal showers, plan your bachelorette party, and pop the champagne when you’re wedding dress shopping. They taste cakes, peruse flowers and repin your Wedding board on Pinterest.  Say a great big “Thank You” before your “I Dos” to your best gal pals with one of a kind finds from Uptown Park.

  1. You’ll be spending late nights together with a cup o’ Joe pouring over wedding magazines and Pinterest. Don’t let rings on the coffee table muddle your friendship. High Gloss has metallic leather coasters in a variety of shapes, $48.
  2. Give them something special to lounge in the night before the big event from Longoria Collection. These Claridge & King sleep tuxedo shirts are as soft as they are classy. $150. Monogramming available upon request.
  3. You and your bridesmaids could experiment with a range of color schemes for the big day. Once you’ve found the one, this chalk board with a stem vase is the perfect way to celebrate! High Gloss, $50. Bonus: it’s from the Museum of Modern Art’s home collection.
  4. Everyone knows that diamonds are a girl’s best friend.  Commemorate your time together with a monogrammed necklace from Golden Threads. Carrie Ann, prices will vary.

Add that personal element with a hand written note, then book a relaxing girls’ day at Serente Spa!
