One of my closest friends in the world is getting married!
For the last few months I’ve been working on a bunch of projects to make her bachelorette/bridal shower weekend extra special.
I planned a wine tour in Virginia wine country and I bought this super cute customized wine glass on Etsy from Waterfall Designs with her future name and wedding date.
Each of her bridesmaids created 2-3 pages for a Bridesmaid Scrapbook that was given to her at her shower. The pages summed up each bridesmaids friendship with the bride and fun milestones together that led up to her getting married. It was so fun seeing the bride looking through it!
The bride and groom met in D.C., so I went around D.C. and took photos of D.C. things that looked like letters that would spell out the word: “love.”
- The L is the top of the statue of victory in President’s Park.
- The O is a manhole on a road near the national mall
- The V is a tree in the national mall
- The E is part of the fence behind the Martin Luther King monument. The fence faces the Jefferson Memorial so you can see a part of it in the background.
It was a fun project to do myself, especially since buying the premade letter photography is insanely expensive! But it’s actually really easy to do, you just gotta think like a 2nd grader and look for letters everywhere! 
Please share: any other fun bridesmaid project ideas that you’ve done or received?
Ooh, the photo spelling LOVE is really awesome! I’m a bridesmaid for my best friend’s wedding next June. This is giving me thoughts!
you should do it! it was really fun to make, and give too
What a sweet, thoughtful gift! People charge hundreds of dollars for those!
I know i’ve looked into buying them before, they are well over $100 for the shortest of words!
You are far more creative than me! I love the photo idea. You could also spell out her future last name (providing it’s not too long!)
Yes i thought of doing that too! but i figured I’d stick to a short word as my first. maybe next time!
What wonderful gifts! I love the framed photographs- very novel gift indeed.
You’re so clever to do the photo project yourself! I actually bought a pre-made set of letters as a friend’s wedding gift — her new married name all spelled out! Despite loving photography, I really never thought of trying to do that myself. Very cool!
Thank you! I highly recommend it. Knowing how gorgeous your photography is, I’m sure it would be incredible!
You did SUCH a good job on those letters! You are definitely a great bridesmaid!!
thank you
That is a genius idea!! I definitely never would have thought to do that. It turned out so good!
That photo letter frame is awesome, definitely worth doing especially since they are REALLY expensive!! Love that each letter it part of D.C. <3 Very creative!
I love that DC picture thing. What an awesome idea!

Such thoughtful gifts! The LOVE sign is such an awesome idea!
My bridesmaids bought me a much needed massage during my b’party weekend. After two nights of dancing til the early morning, it was the best gift ever!
brides to be definitely deserve a massage! we were staying at a spa if there was more time that would of been so fun!
