My Husband never wanted a Prom Gowns, so I got for him instead a few personal gifts, one of which was this beautiful pair of vintage cufflinks from Magpie Vintage, complete with fly-tie inside (him being a total fly-tieing fishing fanatic). I broke with tradition and didn’t have a wedding band, but a dress ring; an original antique art-deco 18kt white gold band with a rectangular shaped aquamarine stone in the centre (the birth stone for March, the Prom evening Gowns month we married) that was flanked by tiny little diamonds – a purchase from Hawks Antiques (their website isn’t incredibly impressive, but their excellent customer service makes up for this)…
Ladies favours were miniature vintage style perfume bottles that I sourced from Monsoon and also Lovely Favours (who also provided exceptionally good customer service by the way). I loved the Empire Scoop Floor Length Satin Evening Dress(ED0149) idea something glamorous and vintage inspired to give as gifts. I also left a gift for each of my hens on their chair – a framed photograph from the Hen Weekend and CD full of professional Hen Weekend photographs, along with a written thank you note.
