Last month I mentioned I met a vendor, Unveiled, who sells wedding favors, gifts and accessories. Today I had the pleasure of having coffee with the owner, Sally Otsuka, and Cheryl Bethe and I got the opportunity to look closely at many of the items in their store and learn what is popular with brides.

I know you, like many wedding planners, may sell your own line of wedding accessories but you still might want to refer their site to your clients for items that you don’t carry. Sally and Cheryl visit gift shows around the country to bring back unusual and delightful things to fill their shop and online store. They also create some products of their own.

Brides love their table name cards, table number cards, place cards, menu cards, favor tags and programs, all of which they customize for each wedding.

Also popular are gifts they created that are almost exclusive to their store, “Her Floral Highness” gift box for the flower girl and the “Ring Protection Agent” gift box for the for the ring bearer.

Check out their online store, or visit their shop in Walnut Creek, California, when you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, to see their entire line of products.

Another candy you can personalize is Dove chocolate.  You write up to four personal messages that are printed inside the foil candy wrappers, then select the color of the foil wrappers and the type of packaging you want.  Read more about it at http://www.mydovechocolate.com/selling/index.asp?pi=4

Over at Hershey’s Chocolate, you can order kisses with a “Just Married” tag.  Not as personal, but still fun.  See them at http://www.hersheygifts.com/sm_kisses.asp

Due to the heat, you probably don’t want to order chocolate for Summer weddings but they would work well for the Fall and Winter weddings you may be working on now.
