Excited about the gorgeous Red Carpet looks this season? And those amazing swag bags?! Who says the best gift bags only exist at award shows? Surprise your lovely bridesmaids with a new piece of tech in her gift bag. We have a few ideas you'll want to see:
Combine two of their favorite things
Thanks to the new Kate Spade New York x everpurse collaboration, you can give your bridal party something they can use absolutely everyday - a classic tote or wristlet that charges their cellphones! They’ll be more than happy to be rid of the cluttering cords along their desks and they'll love having that power during a jam-packed girls night out for fantastic pics to post on Instagram and facebook.
Accentuate their every accessory
Looking for something a little more low-"key" and flexible? Henri Bendel has a keychain you’re going to love as much as we do. This solar-powered accessory charges every type of iPhone® from your friend’s retro-chic 4S to the latest version. To make things easier, it can be transferred from the side of their favorite wristlet to a work bag for quick access.
Treat them to a caffeine boost
For the custom bride that wants nothing short of the best, the new Ripples coffee machine may be it! Your resident caffeine-lover will have plenty of fun printing out words, symbols and even photos of themselves onto the foam of their favorite latte. After seeing this invention across Yahoo! Food, Eater and Fast Company, they’ll love having one in their own home.
Of course, we couldn’t stop with bridesmaids gifts. Starting next week, we’re devoting the next three posts to all-things bridesmaid!

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
