Creative Wedding Gifts for Every Budget

Aluminum and Glass wreath
Many of our customers refuse to buy wedding gifts based on the bridal registry.  "It's too boring!", they exclaim!  And so they come to MaJe Gallery to find something meaningful, beautiful, and handmade!  

And the best part - we have a great gift for every budget!

Take this lovely aluminum and glass wreath by Washington artist Celeste Stuhring.  What a perfect gift for the wine-loving couple who are setting up house together.  And since aluminum doesn't rust or tarnish, it hangs equally well outdoors too.  It's 15" in diameter.  $74.99.


Currently sold out - but available on order.


Hand-sculpted clay
This hand-sculpted clay vase is called "The Flame."  A great gift for a couple who are proclaiming the flame of their love to the world through their marriage.  It stands 15" tall x 9" wide.

It's actually two separate pieces, that fit snugly inside each other - another metaphor for a great partnership!  Both pieces can hold water and live flowers, but it is also very lovely simply as a sculpture.  Made in Washington by Barry McAlister.  $225.


Original 10" x 8" acrylic painting on canvas
It sometimes feels tricky to buy original art for someone else, but if you know they love colorful things, this could be a real winner.  It is a great size (10" x 8") to tuck into a lonely spot on any wall.  And what a lovely message to send to the new couple! Oregon artist Julie Terrell painted this, and has others like it as well.  $64.


Currently sold out - but available on order.



Stemless wine glasses with heart embellishments
If your budget is smaller, check out this charming pair of stemless wine glasses with fused glass heart embellishments.  One red heart and one blue heart is just perfect for the newlyweds!  No wine charms necessary, as these are permanently adhered to the glass itself.  Made in Washington by Celeste Stuhring.  Get the pair for $40.

Mosaic Mirror
For a spectacular gift for a special couple, a mosaic mirror by mosaic master Angie Heinrich from Seattle is an excellent choice.  This one features a brick red and gold color palette, but many other color choices are available upon request.  

This classic oval shape measures 18" x 22".  The mosaics consist of hand-made Italian glass tiles, and glass and metal beads.  Angie studied mosaic-making with masters in Italy and Spain, and her meticulous attention to detail shows that training.  $370.

Copper and steel fused between two sheets of glass make distinctive vases.

Size Options
A small but elegant gift is one of these bud vases.  Made by fusing copper and steel between two sheets of glass, they are the same on both sides.  A simple metal stand holds them up.  When copper is heated up, all the gorgeous and rich colors come out that you see here, and steel turns black.

Made in Washington by Charlton Glass, each is signed by the artist.  Get just one, or choose the trio to make a bolder statement.
Trio of fused glass art platters
Art Glass is beloved by both men and women alike, which makes it a particularly lovely gift for a couple.  These unique Art Glass Bowls by Washington artist Heidi VanderWerff are just the ticket.  Available in a variety of colors such as mixed brights (top left), Red (top right), and Ocean (bottom), you can find a color to compliment any decor.

Each bowl measures approximately 12.5" in diameter.  Completely functional, it sits evenly on a tabletop.  It can also be placed on an easel for display purposes.

Choose a creative and distinctive gift for your next wedding!  Let us help you find the perfect gift at MaJe Gallery!
