Handkerchief giveaway!

Mar 2, 2009


I really adore the look of vintage handkerchiefs and even used some family hankies in our wedding! Mine was embroidered with our married monogram and I had two made for the Moms with an embroidered special message.

And the always lovely Wedding Outlet has graciously offered to give away 3 of their Venise handkerchiefs to one lucky Classic Bride reader*!

Just leave a comment below (including a valid e-mail address!) before Friday, March 6 at midnight CST to be entered. The winner will be announced the following Monday! Good luck!

*This contest is limited to US residents only.

  20. I'm a southern bride (work-in-progress-blog) and handkerchiefs are definitely a part of my heritage - even the gentlemen carry hankies! I am carrying one on my weeding day that was given to me by my grandmother, but these would be great gifts for our mothers!

  24. I would scent the handkerchiefs with my perfume and my fiancee's cologne and switch, so we could have a physical reminder of our loved one the night before while we're away from each other.

  31. That's such a gorgeous hankie! Part of me would want to monogram it using my mother's monogramming machine, but part of me would want it to stay just as is!

  33. I was just looking on etsy at hankie's very similar to this one for myself and my mom and my mom-to-be. Unfortunately, we don't have any vintage hankie's in my family. I am getting married next month (escatic that I can finally say that now that it's March) and these would be wonderful to have on my wedding day since I am sure all three of us will need them that day.

  51. Love it! Such a simple elegant gift to be able to give to our mothers. I have memories of my grandmother's hankie framed in her house from when I was little (not sure if it was from her wedding). Id love to have not only a nod to her but to our mothers that are such an important part of our wedding day. There is no doubt there will be tears of joy shed - why not give them something meaningful to wipe them away? - rprzybyl@gmail.com

  57. I would love to give these handkerchiefs to the three grandmothers that will be traveling in for our March wedding. Paired up with a brooch, this would be both a heartfelt thank you and a sentimental reminder of our big day.
