COMMEMORATIVE MAIDENSHADE (Scroll down for photos)

MaidenShade Night Lights, Lampshades and Lamps have gone the way of the romantic

YOUR ATTENDANT

She's come all the way across the country for you, put on the poufy pink gown that you picked out for your ladies-in-waiting and that they unflinchingly purchased. Why, she's even resolved to dance with your 40 something-year old cousin at the reception! In short, your maid of honor and bridesmaids are going to give their all to ensure you are the best tended woman in the world on your special day - and for your mother and soon to be mother-in-law the same holds true, times 2! Express your appreciation for each of them with a 'little bit of beautiful', an individually chosen, personalized gift of light that is completely unique and customized to your wedding.

Remember, the same line of reasoning applies for the groomsmen and dads. These guys will be donating their time and money to your big event as well. Make certain you also show your appreciation for them. MaidenShade offers many "manly" night lights - choose from sports, golf, fishing and so on. If you'd like, you can even "accessorize" them with a key fob, divot tool, pocket knife and so on. Customizing is customary at MaidenShade!

THE GIFT LIST: BRIDESMAIDS, GROOMSMEN, MOTHERS, DADS, OTHER ATTENDANTS...
At MaidenShade we know that searching gifts is not always easy. There are a few matters to think about whenever you are searching to get your appreciation gifts for your wedding:

What should you spend?

What are the options?

What is appropriate for your wedding?

The average bride spends anywhere from $20 to $100 per gift for their maid of honor, bridesmaid, mother and groomsmen gifts. This wide range is a reflection of many factors unique to each event. Some things to consider are the overall budget of your event, the number of attendants you have, and perhaps most importantly the knowledge that these gifts represent your appreciation for the women and men you've chosen to stand with you; affirm your gratitude in a unique and precious way.

LOOKING FOR YOUR GIFTS
To help facilitate the process, begin by perusing our website for ideas. This can be a valuable tool to help you to narrow choices. At that point (if you are in our area) you may wish to schedule a personal consultation. During this time you can choose the covering, embellishments, discuss details, and see examples of products. Don't worry, if you are not in our area we can accomplish this over the phone and via email as well.

CONSIDER THIS

You may not be looking for yourself - keep the recipients in mind

Consider choosing "décor-friendly" themes, utilizing traditional or neutral coordinates, appropriate for everyday use

Purchase gifts at least 2 months in advance

Remember other participants who may need a "thank you": ring bearer, flower girl... or yourself!

Not the one getting married? What a fabulous shower or post-wedding gift to give to the bride!

Don't want to worry about it? Give us a few details and we'll create your gifts for you with as much of your personal involvement as you'd like to give.

Finally, the gift giving timing comes to question. What more appropriate place to present these gifts than at your rehearsal dinner party, everyone will be charmed!

WEDDING COMMEMORATION NIGHT LIGHT, SHADE, LAMP, TISSUE COZY
We've saved the best for last! For our brides comes an exclusive, precious, lifetime-of-memories idea you'll find nowhere else. We will fashion a personalized wedding commemorative light that will be a gorgeous reminder of your wonderful day. Imagine your hallway illuminated with a night light created from pieces of your wedding, a bright tribute to your love and commitment; or how about a sweet "my wedding" lamp for that special place in your bedroom, nook - anywhere that needs a unique statement of light.

How? When your dress is being altered or made, request any leftover pieces of fabric, lace, embellishments etc. and we will create a customized night light or shade from them. No alterations, or the remnants are too small? No problem! Show us your dress and/or the remnants, we'll find a close match and do our best to recreate the look and feel of your fabric.

Want something different, but still commemorative? How about a frame night light that is personalized with:

Your Monogram, Your Wedding Date, or Both

An Excerpt From Your Vows

How about a Collage Shade Created From Wedding Memorabilia from Planning Stages through the Event:

Lists, Receipts, Price Tags, Fabric, Embellishments, Photos, Program, Cards, Etc.

What a great way to honor your marriage, from MaidenShade of course!

Please, contact us to place an order. Turn around is approximately 2 weeks for creation, plus shipping time. (PLEASE NOTE: for orders requiring custom components, add 3-4 weeks.)

POSSIBILITIES

PHOTOS


"Maija" features a hand sewn and gathered "veil". You can't see it, but it has little crystals in the netting. This spectacular night light is very impressive in person.

"Kathleen" is made of heavy brocade that is an antique rose color with gold outlining the pattern throughout it. The trim on "Kathleen" is the exact color match, it has the antique-pink, champagne, brown tones - it is beautifully iridescent and very reflective which the photo cannot adequately capture.


"Adrienne" is simple and elegant; the fabric is traditional and has such a nice hand, it is so rich.

"Molly" is from the same fabric as Eunice, and it is just sweet, perfect for a bridesmaid, flower girl or you...


"Eunice" is such a beautiful rich satin, it is a wonderful pink. I left the middle empty for insertion of a monogram, date, name, or as shown, with a locket or some token for the recipient.



"Emily" is made like a formal dress, it has an underlay of off-white satin with an overlay of embroidered sheer veiling.

PHOTOS TOO


Bride - Large, scalloped shade, white dupioni silk taffeta, clear iridescent bridal beading, special sequined scroll trim - Elegant, simple.

Maid of Honor - Large round shade, watermarked sage chiffon, iridescent heart beading, ruffled organza trim accented with sage green ribbon overlay, and organza flowers.


Bridesmaids - Medium round shade, dark sage chiffon, iridescent heart beading, ruffled organza trim accented with sage green ribbon overlay, and organza flowers.

Bridal Party

COSTS
The special night lights we will make for you range from $35-$50 depending upon materials, time, quantity and other unique factors. Our small lamp shades (not night lights) range from $45 to $125 for larger versions, add approximately $16-$45 for bases. A collage lampshade would be a different price than a fabric shade, and too, certain fabrics would cost more than others - with so many variables it is best to let us know your needs so we can provide you with an actual price or quote.
