If you’re a regular here at SMP, then you’re no doubt familiar with Bella Belle shoes. They’re whimsical, delicate, and downright stunning! As far as wedding shoes go, it really doesn’t get any better than this.

For the bride in your life, bridesmaids, and even moms–they’ve got something for everyone.

With the planet seemingly on the brink and everyone’s wallet still recovering from the pandemic, we’re seeing a surge in people looking for a more sustainable approach to the holiday season. Well, we’ve found just the app! Wedding Swap is an app that’s revolutionizing how couples source everything for their weddings from attire to decor. And while we don’t recommend you buy someone’s wedding dress for them, there are a few items couples tend to forget when it comes to planning their big day and you’re sure to find them on Wedding Swap:
Weddings come and go in the blink of an eye. And while wedding albums are a great way to look back and reminisce, they often get put on a bookshelf and forgotten about until an anniversary or other sentimental occasion. What about gifting your favorite couple a happy reminder of their big day that they can look at all the time? That they could literally hang above their mantle or in their bedroom? Meet Phantasia Studio, an artist that specializes in painting floral portraits! Unlike other methods of bouquet preservation like pressing, drying, or resin blocks, a floral portrait is frozen in time and will forever look as beautiful as the day they walked down the aisle. And because Pantasia Studio can work off of a photograph, the custom floral portrait can be a surprise! She can even incorporate words and music into the artwork like names, dates, snippets of vows, or processional music. She also works in a variety of mediums so she can create a unique piece that fits seamlessly into their interior design. And you’ll never believe us when we tell you the price! These gorgeous pieces of art start at just $2 per square inch! Contact Phantasia Studio today and give them something that they’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Did you know that Birdy Grey, the super popular bridesmaid brand, also has a ton of personalized gifts? From lace robes and cozy pajamas to denim jackets, they’ve got something for every type of bride. And, now that they’re married, all of their favorite monogrammed essentials will need an update. If you’re the bride, Birdy Grey also has amazing personalized gifts for bridesmaids as well, like coordinating pajamas and robes so you can twin on your big day and travel-friendly accessories like this reusable glass water bottle. Besides being completely adorable, all of these gifts are surprisingly AFFORDABLE! And every penny counts whether you’re planning a wedding yourself or just attending one.
TextMyGuests is the revolutionary new event app that’s helping couples keep all of their guests in the know. From parking info to COVID-19 restrictions and everything in between, couples can update all of their wedding guests with a single text! With their premium option, couples can write unlimited messages, and create unlimited groups (like one for guests and one for the bridal party for rehearsal dinner info, etc.). Now for the best part, TextMyGuests allows couples and guests to share photos from the event seamlessly. No more scrolling the wedding hashtag and trolling the location on IG–everyone gets instant gratification! Is there really a better gift than peace of mind? We think not! Gift a premium event package for just $149. Just create the account, choose the package that works best for you and add the bride and/or groom as hosts. Order now and they’re offering SMP readers 10% off with code SMP10!
We hope that helps narrow down your holiday shopping list and who knows, you may find a few goodies for yourself too. Happy Holidays from everyone here at SMP!
