Vintage Wedding Party Gifts

Here at Opihi Love we love putting vintage twists on wedding traditions.  Brides & Grooms are always looking for the perfect gifts to provide their bridal party.  The obvious: jewelry, flasks, and maybe a day at the spa.  Below are some fun ways to add a little bit of a personal touch to your gifts, with a vintage spin. 

~ Utilize antique floral brooches throughout your wedding, on your bouquet or even as part of your decor.  After the wedding, find a cute vintage cigar box or old tin box- and give your bridal wedding party each a brooch. Something they will look at and remember you by forever. 

~ If you are getting married in a destination location (Opihi Love is located on Maui) see what local products are available.  Great skincare products or beautiful hand made candles are perfect!  On Maui, Queen Bee is the top local beauty provider.  Their packaging is very apothecary, and vintage inspired- the best part is by far the essence of their products.  A-MAZING

~ Add some local nostalgia to your gifts. Below is a photo of a Haleakala Dairy glass bottle (Opihi Love has an extensive collection of Local Dairy Bottles).  Haleakala Ranch/Dairy is staple of Old Hawaii.  It represents conservation, heritage and plantation life!  Giving a piece of Hawaiian history to your bridal party, will be a conversation piece as long as it's up on the mantle. 

~ Other Bridal Party Vintage Ideas: Old Bottle openers (GM), Locally made cigars (GM), Vintage Frames (mail a wedding photo after the wedding to fill the frame), and if your feeling adventurous  maybe gift your party a ride on the old sugar cane train.

Aloha,
