6 Tips for Choosing Bridal Party Jewelry Gifts

Planning a wedding involves a lot of thought and effort. A bride-to-be must consider, among many other things, how to show her bridesmaids appreciation for their support. Bridal party jewelry gifts are gestures of gratitude that can take many forms. They need not be over-the-top or expensive. 

First, decide whether your bridal party is going to wear jewelry. They don’t have to. But there are lots of options that can go with bridesmaids’ outfits. These tips will help you think ahead so the look of your bridal party matches your vision.

1. Decide If You Want Them All to Match

Do you envision all your bridesmaids wearing the same thing? That’s up to you. In many bridal parties, everyone’s accessories are based on what works for them. They can mix and match, but you can also decide on the jewelry they should wear. 

Traditionally, the bride wears different jewelry from her bridal party. Bridesmaids tend to dress less bridal and wear items that match their attire. The maid of honor usually has a separate set of jewelry.

1. Determine the Types of Jewelry They’ll Wear 

Before you choose any bridal party jewelry gifts, think about the types of jewelry that go with their outfits. The most common types of bridal party jewelry include:

• Earrings: Earrings go with almost anything and come in so many styles. If someone is wearing their hair up, go with a pair of studs. But if they are wearing their hair down, larger drop earrings are more suitable. If someone in your bridal party isn’t used to wearing earrings, it’s up to them to do so or not.

• Necklaces: When choosing a necklace, consider the length or if it will have a pendant. Longer chains work best with high necklines, and simple pendants complement lower necklines. Consider leaving out the necklace for a bridesmaid with a statement neckline.

Bracelets: Bracelets are easy to accessorize with and traditionally are symbols of friendship. They’re also more subtle than other types of jewelry. Therefore, they won’t distract from the dresses you put so much time and effort into selecting. However, they may not be necessary if no one will notice, like when bridesmaids are wearing long sleeves.

1. Decide on Your Budget

Unless your bridesmaids are purchasing their own wedding attire, you’ll have to consider your total budget and what you’ll spend for each person. You can decide to spend $10 or $100 per person or as much as you can afford. 

 

Jewelry can be gifted during a bridesmaid proposal; it’s becoming popular to present a gift during this conversation. It can also be presented as a thank-you gift. Whether asking bridesmaids to buy specific items or providing them with gifts, consider jewelry they can wear not just to the wedding, but every day. That, of course, requires appealing to their tastes.

1. Consider Personalizing Your Gifts

You can gift each bridesmaid with a necklace personalized with their initial. Engravings or colored gemstones can also help personalize bridal party jewelry gifts. An engraved ring, zodiac bracelet, and birthstones are just a few ideas for customizing your bridal party’s jewelry. Making it thoughtful and personal shows each bridesmaid how much you appreciate them.

1. Match Their Dress Color

Gifting your bridesmaids' jewelry enables you to ensure everything matches. If they’re wearing yellow or blue dresses, use gold or sterling silver. For pink or red dresses, yellow and rose gold work well, while off-white, blush pink, and other muted colors can be highlighted with colored gemstone jewelry.

1. Consider All Your Options

You don’t want to leave out any details or miss out on an opportunity. Some ideas for bridal party jewelry gifts include:

 

• Crystal Bracelets
• Geometric Statement Earrings
• Gemstone Pendant Necklaces
• Sparkling but Subtle Tennis Bracelets
• Layered Necklaces
• Infinity Earrings
• Pearl Pendants
• Sparkling Heart Pendants
• Cuff Bracelets
