Wedding season is here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have so many of my best friends engaged!  We had all joked that it would be somewhat of a domino-effect once one got the ring, and we were right.  

So with all of the engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties and weddings on the books, it’s time we talk gifts.  Because there is certainly a difference in what you should get your bestie the day after she gets engaged, and then the bridal shower, the official engagement party, etc., etc., etc!

I personally love giving great presents; in fact, I pride myself on knowing the perfect little “happy” to make someone smile.  And since wedding season is all about the love, what better time than now to stock up on the perfect gifts for each occasion.

My go-to gift for the happy couple couple’s official engagement party is gorgeous glasses along with a bottle of Veuve and cork safe.  For the bachelorette I keep it classy gifting something the bride-to-be will actually wear like a dainty little bralette.  And I always stick to those timeless gifts on the big day: a Le Creuset casserole dish and the absolute best classic Marshall speaker the groom will love. 

Find the rest of my top wedding season gift ideas below, and tell me what I should add to the list!  Cheers, Kat
