Welcome back to our month of giveaways! We are so grateful for you sweet readers, especially for all of the ways you’ve supported our new issue and our shop this year, so we wanted to do something fun for the holidays. Since many of you are starting new lives together with new holiday traditions (and new married monograms!) we decided to give away one of our favorite monogrammed products each week in December!
I must admit that of all the weeks, I might be most jealous of the winner of this one! Always obsessed with my grandmother’s hatboxes as a girl, I would have absolutely ordered one of Trousseau & Co’s monogrammed hatboxes for my wedding day, had they been around then! Designed specifically to organize and store your most precious heirlooms and accessories for your wedding day and after, Trousseau & Co. boxes are a practical and so very chic place to carry your grandmother’s pearls, your new glittery heels, and all the sweet pieces you’ve collected throughout your engagement. It’s perfect for passing off to your photographer on your wedding day to capture all those special pieces, then carried off on your honeymoon!
I’m so excited that our friend Joy of Trousseau & Co has offered our winner a hatbox in the color of her choice!
How to enter: Visit the Trousseau & Co. site, then leave a comment below and tell us what you’d store in this beautiful box.
One winner will be randomly chosen on December 30!
I would love to win this for when my daughter gets married, it could be her something new.
I’d love to store my wedding shoes in it for safe keeping… They were my mom’s and are very special to me.
Gracious, y’all, these are gorgeous! They would be perfect for storing those extra special pieces you collect throughout your life – marriage, yes – but also the other little bits of lovely that have impacted you. I’m thinking about letters from my beloved grandmother. The letters she sent even when we only lived 30 miles away from each other. Small words of encouragement from loved one are perhaps my most treasured item, so that’s what I’d use this beautiful box for. Imagine being able to open the box and share those letters with your own children? So precious.
My cathedral-length veil, sparkly shoes, and the jewelry I am borrowing from my mom!
These boxes are so beautiful! I’d store some items from our wedding in the box – my mom and grandmother’s handkerchiefs, my veil, my grandma’s necklace, etc.
I would store photos in this beautiful treasure.
I would store the pass downs and special gifts from my momma, grandma, and mamaw. They’ve given me different pieces of family jewelry over the years (grandma from my dad’s side and mamaw from my mom’s) as well as written me sweet letters.

My wedding planning it just beginning, so I’m sure there are many trinkets and treasures to put in there that have yet to be discovered. But I definitely think accessories, photos, invitations, and maybe even letters from my parents and my man. Items so special deserve a special storage space – a plastic container definitely wouldn’t do them justice!

Every weekend it would have new possessions and again be filled with the endless love that goes along with those.

I have so many so many items from our wedding day that are haphazardly strewn around our house. The handkerchief lined with the lace from my mother’s wedding dress, the notebook my grandfather wrote his wedding wishes to us because he was unable to attend our ceremony, all of the cards we exchanged during the day, and so many more! I would love to have a place to safely store all of these precious items to reflect upon every May 30th and to eventually share with our children. :)

I would use it on my wedding date to carry my shoes, make-up, & my other small wedding necessities needed & in some photo shots. I would also use it on my honeymoon to carry my camera & possibly a bottle of wine.

The Trousseau & Co’s hat box is the perfect compliment to a Southern Bride’s ensemble! I would tuck away a few of my favorite things that I plan to use on my wedding day- the antique necklace that belonged to my grandmother, my cousin’s exquisite headpiece that she is letting me borrow, the vintage garters from my bridesmaid’s shop in the French Quarter, my best friend’s veil that I plan to wear for the reception, and the perfect blue shoes that my patient and persistent mother found after searching for hours on end. These items make up the collection of items that remind me of how special this day is. A Southern girl is always influenced by the women she surrounds herself with, and to have such lovely reminders of wonderful, inspirational women all stored in one classic heirloom would mean so much!
Love these boxes! I would use them to store my wedding shoes, jewelry, my grandmother’s garter, and any momentos from our reception like napkins, champagne cork, pictures.

I would love to start a memory box for our future child (arriving May 2016!) I want him or her to see the beginning of his/her story- how his/her parents met, fell in love, started a family and how that love has grown over time. I’d start with all the birthday cards that were handmade for me by my now husband over the years, include the letters we wrote to each other on our wedding day, and all the sweet things we have already collected for this little one. I think a sense of family and place is so important and I’d love to be able to create a tangible legacy of love for this little one!
I would use this to store items of sentimental value — my wedding veil, the wedding letters my husband & I wrote to each other, and future mementos! It’d be a beautiful but also practical piece for our bedroom.
