    Yeah I refuse to buy flowers - im only buying my bouquet as fresh flowers on the wedding day. I just find it hard to justify something so expensive that will die in a couple of days :/ x

    Never actually thought of that, I suppose I could get something they could keep for the same price as a nice bouquet of flowers! ?

    If you are considering jewellery, this design has proved really popular for MOBs. They are silvery/grey freshwater pearls (and are gorge!). A necklace can be made instead of a pendant too. http://www.louloubelle.co.uk/bracelets_occasion.html

    We gave our parents photo albums that we filled after the weddding.

    I too have some lovely pieces perfect for presents on my website. What about getting them something that matches their outfits so they can wear them at the wedding and it will always hold fond memories! Let me know if I can help in any way.

    Hiya

    have you thought about photo albums.....I have some small ones on my site that are very popular for parents of the bride & groom....they can be designed to fit in with your theme or they can have little figures on them to represent you & your husband
