Custom Wedding Handkerchiefs

A personalized gift that tugs at the heart strings, custom wedding handkerchiefs can be made using family materials for many sources. Whether it's from your wedding dress so she can incorporate your side of the family into her wedding day heirlooms or from her father's favorite tie which has a sentimental meaning to her, these custom designed handkerchiefs are the perfect gift for any bride.

This gift can be used by your future daughter in law in her preferred way for her wedding. Beloved custom wedding handkerchiefs are perfect for drying those happy tears throughout the wedding morning, photos, ceremony and beyond. Or, we love to see brides use these wedding handkerchiefs by wrapping them around their bridal bouquets.

Repurposing Mother's Wedding Dress

Because she may not want to wear your wedding dress, but it can still be used to make her feel close to you on her wedding day.

When it comes to wedding heirlooms there's something so special about brides re-using their mother's or mother-in-law's wedding dress. Re-purposing family wedding dresses or other family materials, like Dad's tie or Grandpa's shirt, can be the perfect way to incorporate family into the bride's wedding day look, without her having to wear the actual wedding dress if it isn't her style.

These custom wedding heirlooms are items your future daughter-in-law will cherish for years to come even after she's transitioned from bride to wife. Plus, this is a great way to incorporate something both borrowed and new for the bride on her wedding day.

How can we re-use my wedding dress for a gift for my future daughter in law?

Creating custom wedding heirlooms for the bride is my specialty at The Garter Girl! There are many items we can create using your wedding dress including an heirloom wedding garter, a wedding handkerchief or a ring bearer pillow.

Some of our other favorite ways to re-use a wedding dress for a bride-to-be is creating a custom necklace, a bridal bouquet wrap, a bridal bouquet charm, a wedding dress patch for the inside of her wedding dress, a bridal purse or wedding clutch, a bridal veil, custom bridal sneakers, a custom bridal bomber jacket, or a wedding morning robe.
