While it's true that June is quickly coming to an end, wedding season is nowhere close to being over (I myself was invited to three different weddings this summer).  With this in mind, we wanted to share with you a great custom wedding gift idea: the ever-popular breadboard.   

We think they are so great because they are completely customizable.  You can pick your wood, the size and design and even take it one step further by having it engraved with the couple's initials or a special message to the bride and groom.  Speaking personally, one-of-a-kind gifts (especially of the handmade variety) have always been my favorite because it's clear that the gift-giver has gone the extra mile to show me just how much they care. 

Take a look at a recent breadboard that was commissioned for a friend's wedding next weekend.  I chose to make it out of quilted maple and wenge, because I love how the contrast of the two woods compliment each other so well.  And isn't that what marriage is about, when two people come together to become one?  Too cheesy?
