8 Things You Can Buy As a Gift for Your Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids are very often the unsung heroes (or heroines) of any wedding. They look after the bride, they take on additional wedding responsibilities and they have to plan a Hen Party for everyone to enjoy. So how can you tell them how much you have, and do, appreciate their efforts? Most brides and grooms will give their bridesmaids a little present. From jewellery and pyjamas to flower bouquets and beauty treatments, here are eight things that you could give to your bridesmaids as a way of saying “thank you”.

 

1. Jewellery items

Jewellery is an excellent gift for bridesmaids. There are multiple jewellery options for you to choose from, especially when you look to us here at Little Star Jewellery. We have an impressive range of stunning necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all of which are available in different metals, sizes and styles. In addition to silver, gold and rose gold jewellery items, we are also proud to offer personalised jewellery. 

No matter what you choose to give your bridesmaids, we’ll be able to engrave particular jewellery items with names, dates and other meaningful engravings. If you’re on the hunt for a meaningful bridesmaid gift that will be treasured for generations to come, then you’ll be able to count on Little Star Jewellery for the ultimate sentimental present. 

 

2. Flower bouquets

Something that’s given during the wedding speeches, bridesmaids are always grateful for a little mention and a gift when their time comes for some acknowledgement of their efforts. This is why many brides will opt for some handmade bouquets of fresh flowers to give them. They look beautiful, they smell wonderful and they’re also an incredibly thoughtful gift. 

If they’re handmade, it also gives you an opportunity to make them more personal to that individual. If one of them likes peonies and the other doesn’t, but they prefer lilies, then you can ask for one bouquet to have peonies throughout and the other to have lilies. They’re so easily customisable that you may even wonder why you didn’t think about a personalised bouquet sooner.

 

3. Dressing gowns, robes or pyjamas

Dressing gowns, robes and pyjamas are an excellent gift for your bridesmaids, especially if you’re all getting ready in the same room and at the same time. Not to mention, they make for wonderful photo opportunities. There are plenty of options available online, from a choice of style to colour. 

You’ll be sure to find some loungewear that suits your bridesmaid and your colour scheme. In addition to your dressing gowns, robes and/or pyjamas, give them a complementary pair of comfortable slippers to walk around in. Not only will this keep your bridesmaids as comfortable as possible, but it will also keep their feet warm and toasty while they wait for their hair and makeup to be done.

 

4. Goodie bags

Goodie bags are an excellent way of telling your bridesmaids how much you appreciate them. The beauty of goodie bags is that they can be filled with a variety of different things, meaning it’s far easier and more budget-friendly, especially if you want to make them more personal to that individual bridesmaid. To give you a few ideas as to what you can put in a goodie bag, here’s a quick list of everything you can throw in for good measure:

• Their favourite sweets
• Photographs
• Prints
• Postcards
• Nail polish
• A tube of hand cream
• Lipstick, lip gloss or lip balm
• Handmade soaps
• Cloth tote bags
• Jewellery items, such as bracelets, earrings or necklaces (as already touched upon)
• Eyeshadow
• Blush
• Hair clips or scrunchies
• A miniature bottle of alcohol, such as spirits or wine

 

5. Shoes to be worn on the day

Buying your bridesmaids some killer heels to be worn on the day is a great way of making them feel and look the part. Make sure you choose a pair of shoes that are either neutral in colour or that are a classic colour and that aren’t too high. This then allows them to wear the heels again for another occasion. A brand new pair of shoes that are timeless and classic make for a bridesmaid gift that keeps on giving.

 

6. A hair styling experience

Professional hairdressers and hair stylists have the skills and expertise needed to make your bridesmaids’ look sophisticated and glamorous. Gift them a hair styling experience on the morning of the wedding to make them feel pampered and appreciated. In some cases, both hair and makeup are gifted to bridesmaids as a package, but this can depend on your budget. You could even treat them to both pampering sessions or one or the other. Regardless of which one you choose, your bridesmaids are bound to feel relaxed and refreshing, ready for the big day.

 

7. A makeup experience

This is something that’s usually gifted to bridesmaids on the morning of the wedding. Rather than ask your bridesmaids to pay for it themselves, give them an experience that they’re not likely to forget. Makeup artists are hugely talented. So both yourself and your bridesmaids will be blown away by the results. As such, you will all feel a million dollars, enabling you to start the day off perfectly. 

 

8. A spa treatment

One way to make your bridesmaids feel special, whether it be on the run-up to the big day itself or as a relaxing treat after all of their hard work is done, is to gift them a spa treatment. From hot stone massages to mud baths, you’ll find a spa experience that will make your bridesmaids feel valued. You could even give them a spa day experience, complete with various treatments and a meal. From three-course dinners to afternoon tea, there are plenty of options to choose from.
