The challenge of finding the perfect gift for
guests today, but this was less so in the 19th century, when a bride's basket was the go-to gift. Extremely popular in the 1880s as a luxury gift for a bride on her wedding day, bride's baskets were an elegant way to express beauty, love, and graciousness.
Bride's basket is a modern moniker for something often referred to as cake, berry or fruit bowls or baskets. This made perfect sense, since those are the types of items one would expect to find in the baskets.
The baskets grew out of the popular wedding protocol of bestowing gifts of silver during ceremonial events, like a wedding - hence the name bride's basket.
However, before the baskets would become popular wedding gifts, they served important purposes, especially during lavish weddings during the early-to-mid 19th century. The palatial baskets, then often made of coin or sterling silver, would hold flower petals scattered by flower girls.
The basket would also sit atop the wedding party's table during the reception to display a bride's bridal bouquet..
