Island made Wedding Gift ideas

When it comes to wedding gifts these days, it seems like so many couples ask for cold hard cash. I get it, the last thing people need these days is 6 sets of pillows, 4 sets of dishes, and a cupboard full of vases….

But what if you could get the wedding couple something truly unique? Something made locally with love here on Vancouver Island. I have put together a list of great locally made wedding gift ideas that are sure to put a smile on their faces.

Wall Art Wedding Gifts

In my opinion, you can never have enough art, yet it’s something that can be hard to justify spending money on when you’re starting out, which is why it makes the perfect wedding gift. Unless you really know the couple’s taste, I recommend getting a gift card made up to one of these fantastic Island artists.
