Gone are the days of the traditional toaster! These days the emphasis, when it comes to wedding gifts, is the beautifully bespoke. Anything goes – a personalised thank you gift for a bridesmaid, for a mother or mother-in-law, a sister, father or for the couple themselves. Just as long as it’s heartfelt.
Joanna Miller of Bespoke Verse says the trend for gifts with an emotional bend are swiftly becoming the norm, within the wedding world, and every day.
She says: “People are increasingly opting to tailor gifts to the individual or couple, particularly when it comes to weddings.”
A poem print fits the bill perfectly. “We see a lot of our poem prints being given to bridesmaids as a thank you from the bride, for example. We can personalise them so they are tailored specifically to the recipient. We get a lot of positive feedback from maids and parents of the bride or groom, all thrilled with this personal touch.”
Joanna’s pick of the 7 best, and most popular wedding prints are…
‘What is Marriage?’
A typographic print that’s great as a unique gift for the newlyweds. It’s witty and warm and explores the real and romantic sides of marriage. It can be personalised with the name and date of the big day printed underneath, and is available in five colours. www.bespokeverse.co.uk/shop/marriage-poem-print
Bespoke Your Special Words Framed Print

‘A Letter to Dad’
A moving, heartfelt poem that’s a perfect gift from a bride to her father before he gives her away (or after, if she wants to avoid potential waterworks!). This rhyming letter of thanks (and apology!), sums up everything you’ll want to tell dad on the morning of your wedding. www.bespokeverse.co.uk/shop/a-letter-to-dad-poem-print
