Here are 19 beautiful gift ideas to sew for an upcoming bride.
Bridal Robe
Sew a luxurious bridal robe for the bride to wear while she prepares for her wedding ceremony. Choose a soft and elegant fabric, and add lace or satin trim for a touch of sophistication. You might even want to consider gifting matching robes for her bridesmaids.
Ring Bearer Pillow
Personalize the ring bearer pillow by sewing it in the wedding colors or incorporating the couple’s monogram. It’s a small but significant detail that can become a cherished keepsake. I know mine is!
Monogrammed Handkerchief
Hand-sew (or machine embroider) a delicate handkerchief with the couple’s initials or a heartfelt message. This sentimental accessory can be a beautiful memento that is passed down through generations.
Wedding Garter
Make a beautiful wedding garter with lace, elastic, ribbon, and maybe a touch of blue for a traditional “something blue” element. You could even personalize it with the bride’s initials or a small charm.
Bridal Hair Accessories
If you love working with lace or beads, you could create a unique hair accessory such as a floral crown, a beaded headpiece, or a fabric hair comb. These handmade items make a lovely gift that can continue to be used long after the wedding.
Wedding Dress Hanger Cover
Make the bride’s wedding dress photos extra special by sewing a cover for her hanger. Use lace, satin, or a combination of fabrics to match the wedding theme.
Bridal Tote Bag
Sew a stylish tote bag for the bride to use during wedding preparations. Customize it with embroidery, appliqué, or a cute vinyl design that reminds you of the bride.
Bridal Shoe Clips
Create decorative shoe clips using fabric flowers, beads, or lace that can be attached to the bride’s wedding shoes. This small detail can add a touch of glamour to her footwear.
Bridal Face Mask
If the bride’s family decides to wear face masks, you could make personalized masks for the bride, groom, and others at the party. Be sure to consult with the bride and select fabrics that match the wedding colors or theme.
Bridal Hand Fan
If the wedding will be out of doors in a warm climate, a handmade hand fan can be a thoughtful gift to make. Use delicate fabrics, lace, or even incorporate the wedding colors.
Bridal Hanky Sachet
An easy project for a beginner might be a fragrant sachet using a vintage handkerchief. Fill it with dried flowers, lavender, or potpourri, and sew it into a small pouch that she can tuck into her gown or lingerie drawer.
Lace Drawstring Bag
Sew a beautiful drawstring bag for the bride to use when traveling or storing her special wedding lingerie. You could use vintage lace or add a monogram or a small embroidered design for a personal touch.
Decorate an Umbrella for the Bride
Another thoughtful outdoor wedding gift might be a personalized umbrella, especially in locations with unpredictable climates. You could decorate a white umbrella with embellishments, including the couple’s initials or wedding date.
Wedding Quilt
A quilt in the wedding ring quilt design is a time-honored tradition. However, any handmade quilt will be a treasured gift.
Sleep Mask
Sleep can be hard to come by when you travel, so make the bride a pretty sleeping mask. Choose soft fabrics and add lace or embroidery for a touch of elegance.
Beautiful Pillows
Create a decorative pillow for the bride’s bedroom. Consider incorporating romantic quotes, the wedding date, or the couple’s initials. What better way to remind the bride of such a special day right before she falls asleep?
Mug Sleeve
A popular gift right now is a handmade cup sleeve. You can knit, crochet, or sew one for the bride’s coffee or tea. Personalize it with a sweet message to make her morning special.
Wedding Day Emergency Kit
Sew a small fabric pouch filled with essential items the bride might need on her wedding day – from safety pins to breath mints. Not only is this a practical gift that some brides may overlook, but it’s also a cute keepsake for the special occasion. Don’t forget to decorate the pouch with a cute label.
Wedding Memory Book Cover
Sew a fabric cover for a memory book where the bride can collect mementos, photos, and well wishes from the wedding. Add a pocket for storing small keepsakes.
