WE GOT MARRIED!!!!
In case you missed it, Justin and I got married a few weeks ago, and it was truly the wedding of our dreams. I’ve been sharing ALL the details over on my Instagram, so be sure to check it out after you read this blog!
I have to say, on the list of all the crazy things I did the week before my wedding, assembling over 100 welcome boxes for all of our wedding guests, and HAND-DELIVERING them, has to be right at the top. What were we thinking LOL?!
All jokes aside, this was probably one of my favourite parts of the lead-up to the wedding. Getting to curate a box of all of my favourite, local, value-led brands, and share them with the people who mean the most to me in this world… seriously, what a dream!
I’ve been receiving SO many messages on Instagram asking what was in these coveted boxes… so without further ado… here is everything I included in our wedding welcome gifts for adults! I’ll be writing a whole other blog on what we gave to the kiddos!
Grosche Tumbler
Featured in the Spring 2025 Jilly Box, the Grosche Aspen Tumbler has quickly become my favourite water bottle… and I am very picky about my drinking vessels LOL! This is a women-owned, Canadian-owned company that is B Corp certified and gives back to the community… what’s not to love?
Tuck Linen Throw
Also featured in the Spring 2025 Jilly Box, this linen throw from Tuck Bedding is so beautiful. It’s another Canadian, women-owned company that I absolutely love. If you’re looking for high-quality bedding, look no further. I’m so excited that every single one of our guests got to take one of these home!
Dew of the Gods Eye Masks
You know my love for Dew of the Gods, so of course, we had to send all our guests home with some eye masks to use for their post-wedding recovery. Everyone showed up to our day-after-the-wedding brunch looking refreshed and rejuvenated, thanks to these Caffeine + Retinol Under Eye Pads!
WithinUs ReHydrate
This brand is part of my everyday routine, so we had to share it with all of our friends and family! The WithinUs ReHydrate is amazing for when you’re feeling a little rundown (or perhaps a bit hungover LOL), so this was a must!!
Quail’s Gate Rose
This local winery has a very special place in our hearts. It’s where we celebrate family birthdays and milestones, so it was a no-brainer to include their delicious wine in our gift boxes.
Sea Salt Caramels from Pickle and Myrhh
My absolute favourite caramels are these ones from family-owned Pickle & Myrrh. They’re made right here in Canada and are to die for!!
Custom Golf Balls from Titleist
If you know Justin, you know his love for golf. So these gifts wouldn’t be complete without some custom Titleist golf balls! We customized them with our initials and wedding date. I love how they turned out.
Jams and Preserves from SaltSpring Kitchen Co.
This brand was featured in this past summer’s Jilly Box and has been such a hit in our household! I love how they’re locally-made, Canadian and women-owned. We also had their jam on our charcuterie boards on every table at the wedding!
Caudalie Beauty Elixir
My ride or die beauty product that I have used for YEARS. I use this Caudalie spray every single day… it literally makes you feel like you’re at a spa. This is one of my favourite products to gift to my loved ones.
Cookies by Love and Flour
Can we talk about how CUTE these cookies are?! These are from a local bakery that I would highly recommend! They were not only so delicious, but they absolutely nailed the design.
Boxes by Box Master
Last but not least, the actual boxes! We’ve worked with Box Master to create our custom Jilly Boxes for years now, so to work on this personal project with them was SO special. We’re so happy with how these turned out.
We truly could not have asked for a more incredible wedding, and these boxes were the perfect way to thank our friends and family for the love and support they’ve shown us over the years. Our hearts are exploding with gratitude!!!
