10 gift ideas to give your soon-to-be bridesmaids

Before you start researching wedding dresses, there’s another important question that needs asking. With more brides-to-be deciding to pop the question to their bridesmaids in fun and creative ways, a thoughtful gift will always sweeten the deal. Whether you’re keeping it simple with matching jewellery or pyjamas, or picking a personal present for each member of your bridal party, we’ve collated our top bridesmaid gift ideas to present to your wedding VIPs.

Bud vases

From the getting-ready process to emotional support throughout the day, your bridesmaids will be by your side. A vase is a great gift to give when asking that all-important question, and you can fill it with their favourite flowers for a personalised touch. As a thoughtful reminder, encourage them to take home a few wedding flowers as a floral memento.

A sparkly clutch

A fashion favourite, a clutch bag will dress up their wedding guest outfit at both yours, and other nuptials over wedding season. In a striped green design, this sparkly clutch will keep all their essentials accessible during the ceremony, including extra tissues for the 'I do’s' and sunglasses if the weather pulls through. For an extra finishing touch, pop a ‘Will you be my bridesmaid?’ note in the inside pocket.

A pair of earrings

Jewellery is a precious keepsake gift, and this pair of drop earrings can be worn on the day and beyond. A dainty design to remind them of the moment they became a bridesmaid, get each of your bridal party a matching pair, or choose earrings that reflect each of their personal styles. We love this gold plated pair, and you can’t go wrong with pearls.

Hair clips 

Stylish hair accessories are always a win. Practical and pretty, get each of your bridesmaids a matching set of clips to wear for the big day, or to pin their hair back while they’re getting ready. This pair has a silver tone that suits most wedding colour palettes, and will make taming your locks a breeze.

A photo frame

Thank them in advance for their support and friendship with a colourful photo frame. Fill each gift with a personal momento unique to your individual bridesmaids for an extra-thoughtful touch, from group shots to trip tickets or childhood snaps.

A pendant necklace

A special piece of jewellery is a super-effective choice of bridesmaid gift that they can wear during all of the special times leading up to the day. In a shiny gold finish, this pendant necklace has gold plated wavy links and four freshwater pearls – a nice touch if they have earrings to match.

A pyjama set

Matching bridal party pyjamas are a must-have. Super-sleek and soft, wear this monochrome shell set on the morning of the wedding to make getting ready all the more luxurious. This design will be enjoyed by your bridesmaids long after the all-important big-day preparations.

Champagne glasses

Popping open a bottle of bubbly while you’re getting ready? Give each of your bridesmaids a matching champagne flute so you can cheers in style. As well as coming in an easy-to-gift OB box, they’ll be reminded of your special day everytime they raise a glass in this textured glassware set.

A jewellery box

Inspired by art-deco opulence and cut crystal, this glass storage pot has a elevated feel that makes a stand-out gift. Fill with a special piece of gold jewellery to mark the occasion.

A scented candle

In a beautifully designed gift box, this candle has a fresh scent of lavender and sage. If you light similar-scented candles during the ceremony, it will bring back fond memories when your bridesmaid lights it at home after the day has passed.
