Richmond Bride staffers share their picks for products and services that didn't quite fit into a story or photo spread but are still worth sharing.
Boudoir
Your husband-to-be doesn't want a trite bottle of whiskey. Gift him something that'll really loosen him up: a hot boudoir photo by Jen Sinclair Photography ( jen-sinclair.com , $450). You bring the sexy wardrobe (think garter, your man's favorite basketball jersey and heels) and leave your makeup and hair to Jen's team. —Sarah K. McDonald
Flag
Add pageantry and flair with a 30- by 40-inch monogrammed flag from Atlantic Embroidery Works ( atlanticembroideryworks.com , $75 for one side, $130 for both). With five oversized font styles and countless fade-free thread colors to choose from, display it first over the cake table, then après the reception above your front door. —Courtney Crane Dauer
Invitation
Kristin Rider of Invitation to Party ( shopinvitationtoparty.com ) designs papers with flourish that welcome guests to write wishes for the wedding couple and quiz shower-goers on how well they know the bride. With delightful graphics and charming prompts, a set of 10 cards is $8. Customize the design for $10 more. —CCD
Engagement
One of the most popular local parks for courtship and weddings is now making it easier to pop the question. For $150 to $550, Maymont ( maymont.org/engagement ) will prepare a personalized engagement package so all you have to do is get on one knee. The packages, which include picnics and horse-drawn carriage rides, can be scheduled during estate hours or, for a more intimate experience, after park patrons have left the premises. —Anne Dreyfuss
