Bridesmaid's Gifts

With only 18 days left to go for our wedding, I have been checking off my list of gifts to give to everyone that will be part of it. I bought my two bridesmaid's (my sisters) a gift box full of Fresh Sugar goodies. The sweet lemony scent of Sugar goes well with our theme of the yellow and lemons. Here are some of the things that came in their gifts and I just had to throw in a Sake candle too as it is my favorite candle scent ever.

I happened to go to the Union Square Fresh a couple of weeks ago to get a makeup lesson done by Vané's friend Claribel and she did an amazing job! I am not totally confident with applying makeup and she gave me step by step guidelines and then numbered each product with the steps. She was so helpful!

Mrs. John L. Strong

One of my favorite stationery brands, Mrs. John L. Strong, has some really great gifts sets, perfect for a bridal party. The packaging on all of their gift sets makes what is inside even more exciting. I love the little tablets in the Wit Box, fitting for someone that has too many witty ideas and thoughts to go forgotten. As for the sets with stationery and candles, how could you go wrong?

Candles Galore!

The Jonathan Adler Muse candle is my new favorite! The vessel is so beautiful and the scent is divine. The best part is, when the scent is gone, you get to ooh and awe over the gorgeous little vase! This candle is a must have item for the upcoming gift giving season!

Sake is one of my all time favorite scents. It was one of the first expensive candles I bought when I moved to NYC, and will forever remind me of new beginnings.


You can't really go wrong with any of the Diptyque candles, which may be the reason you can almost always find them in any of your fancy favorite stores.

I absolutely love Douglas Little's Art Deco inspired vessels.

The packaging on the KOBO Origami candles can't get much cuter than the tin cans with vintage origami patterns. I have the Sakura Blossom, which I love, the scent isn't over powering, just subtle and sweet.
