Ok, so I found that the big room we have to get ready in only lacks one thing, a bunch of mirrors for the girls to do makeup... there is one in the bathroom but that's hardly enough for that many girls.... so I decided to set up a spot for each girl with their own personal mirror. I bought mirrors and stands at the local dollarstore and etched their names onto the mirrors. This isn't anything I consider part of their 'gift' just something I want to do for the morning we're getting ready.... like having their personal mugs with their favourite coffees/teas available :)

Thing is... I feel like their are missing something, and not sure what... so I am going to post some pictures and maybe you girls can put your finger on what would make them nicer.... doesn't even have to be to the mirrors themselves but something that would make the little display nicer because I'm going to set them up before the girls get in the room....








Don't mind the mess that is my diningroom table right now, or the fact I'm in the mirrors hahah taking pictures of a mirror is never easy lol

ETA: Edited to correct the bottom two pictures to be upright instead of sideways

With all the blinging talk can you bling around the edges to make it a little fancy?

I was thinking the same thing Jenn!

What about getting something blingy to hang off of the stand. Or maybe wrap some ribbon around to.

See, I wasn't sure if doing the bling all the way around the mirror would be too much. I do have both ribbon and rhinestones in each of their favourite colours (I'd rather do that then a wedding colour).

I was going to suggest a simple ribbon bow at one of the bottom corners (tied to the stand) but some rhinestones would look cool as well. You could do them around the outter edge.

You  have the best ideas!  I agree with the blinging though.  I know you will make them look great!

Another suggestion on the month board was to epoxy them to a plate or charger which would create a frame... I had looked at some wooden plaques but hadn't found one the right size.... hmmmm
