1. A friend of mine organized flowers to be delivered to our house every month, for 6 months, on our monthly anniversary. (image via)

2. A very talented guest, Elise Bergman, who also made my bridesmaid dresses, made us cocktail napkins that matched our china.

3. We received a monogrammed cashmere blanket that we use every.single.day

4. A couple people gave us gift cards to some of our favorite restaurants around Chicago, which we will happily put to good use (holder via)

5. A custom bridal illustration from the one and only, Inslee that I got from my sisters. Such a special piece of art (this is just a peek, I’ll be sharing the whole thing at a later date)

6. Another friend called the hotel we stayed at for our honeymoon and paid for us to get massages at the spa. It was such a special treat! (image by me)
