    worcesterbride    August 15, 2009   live in NYC, wedding in Worcester, MA

    i'm giving my bridesmaids matching pink pearl earrings and necklaces to wear in the wedding but the quality is not very good (ok, but slightly shoddy if you look closely), and i don't think that pink pearls are everyone's style anyway, so i want to do something extra that will actually be something they like.

    i recently got myself an earring "tree" from etsy - it's made of copper wire, it's kind of a spiral with wire loops, and i use it to hang all my earrings, and i think it's really pretty - definitely cooler than keeping them in a jewelry box. 2 of my bridesmaids have complimented it. does this sound like a good gift idea? too practical? too specific to my taste? if i give them their jewelry, an earring tree, and a framed picture of me with each bridesmaid (each bridesmaid gets one picture), is that enough? too much?

    if you want to know where i got the pink pearls, PM me and i'll give you more info - they are real pearls, the quality is ok, and i got 5 sets for less than $40 including shipping. same goes for the earring tree - i'm selfishly keeping the link to myself until i place my order, since the seller seems to work in pretty low volume.

    Way cool and practical. I want one!

     I bought pearls off Ebay. The necklaces ended up being a bad deal, so now I'm going with the person I bought the super cute earrings from. I got 5 pairs of pink pearl cluster dangly earrings for $7 and now i'm ordering 6 necklaces. 

    I will have lots of leftover picture frames after the wedding (FI and I took pictures in the city of us holding numbers as our table numbers) so I was going to give them to the girls as a thank you with a nice card AFTER the wedding. Always an option.

    I think the earing tree sounds great! I would love that. And a photo of you and the girls is sweet. Good thinking!
