Gift Guide Your Bridesmaids Will Love

bridesmaid gift guide

The women standing next to you on your wedding day have stood by you through the entire wedding planning process, from the engagement celebrations and dress shopping to the bachelorette party and finally watching you walk down the aisle. 

Whether you are childhood best friends who grew up together sharing memories for years or coworkers who instantly clicked, you may be looking for a way to show your appreciation for their friendship and their part in your one-of-a-kind love story.  

Every bride and their group of bridesmaids is different, but we’ve come up with a list of our five favorite bridesmaid gifts that your friends are sure to love!

Bridesmaid Proposal Box

Start off the festivities by gifting your girls a proposal box when asking them to be your bridesmaid. You can personalize your own or purchase one already made on Etsy or similar websites. These cute gifts usually include small items like jewelry, makeup, or sparkling wine that they can enjoy and actually utilize on the big day.

You can work with both luxury and affordable items in your proposal boxes so that it fits your specific bridal budget. For first-time bridesmaids, a letter outlining the costs to come and duties of being in the wedding party can also be helpful to include in the box and may help you avoid surprises later on in the wedding planning process.

Matching Pajamas and Slippers

A matching set of pj’s and slippers helps to set the scene for the prettiest pictures as you and your girls are getting your hair and makeup done on your big day. You can even customize the robes or pj’s with each girl’s name to make it more personal and sentimental. Check out Etsy for a ton of gorgeous pajama and robe set options!

Personalized Champagne Tumblers

Weddings call for wine and celebration! So, what better way to enjoy that than a personalized tumbler. You can customize these wine holders by printing the name of your bridesmaid and their title in your bridal party. Not only will they be fun to use throughout the process, but they make a long-lasting gift for any drink of their liking later on in the future. Check out Bridesmaid Gifts Boutique for personalized tumbler shopping and inspiration!

Matching Jewelry Set 

Necklaces, earrings, or bracelets can create a loving memory to last you and your bridal party a lifetime. Matching sets of jewelry for your bridesmaids to wear at the wedding makes the perfect gift that they will treasure and keep forever while making accessorizing for the big event just a little easier and more coordinated.

Totes and Makeup Bags

The big event may require rehearsals, venue changes, and different locations on the day of the wedding in which you and your bridal party will have to travel back and forth and maybe even get ready on the go. 

To make all of that travel easier, why not gift your bridesmaids monogrammed totes and makeup bags?! The bags will help carry everyone’s things throughout your wedding process and will also be useful for their future travel and adventures!

Bridal Suite for the Big Day

On your big day, a bridal suite is where you will prepare both physically and mentally as you enter the first chapter towards the rest of your life. Bella Mansion’s new Sanger Mansion, currently under renovation, will offer you every aspect needed for your perfect day. 

The luxury estate will include a bridal suite within the mansion so you can get ready upstairs in private and then make a grand entrance down our spiral staircase to the main venue floor. You will have space to spread out, great lighting, and plenty of privacy to relax before the hustle and bustle of the best day of your life! 

We plan to include a floor-length mirror, snacks, and drinks of your liking, and hooks to hang your attire. On your wedding day, you deserve to be surrounded with love, joy, friends, and family, which is why we wanted to include a one-of-a-kind bridal suite in our Sanger Mansion. 

We are scheduled to be party-ready by 2023, so be sure to stay tuned. To learn more about the history of the mansion and to stay updated with everything happening, sign up to join our list of Bella Brides!

Decor

Festive decorations make the perfect focal point for any Christmas wedding. You can welcome and guide your guests with whimsical winter signage, or even line your aisle with delicate touches of wintery foliage.

Who says centerpieces need to be flower arrangements? Swap those floral centerpieces out for a candle arrangement or a mini Christmas tree.

Long Sleeve Lace

Stunning Satin

High Neck

Winter Wedding Nail Inspiration

Winter weddings are all about the snowy landscapes, wintry florals, icy blue hues, and so many other festive seasonal elements. Everything about your wedding day should be absolutely perfect and your nails are no exception. We’ve curated a cute collection of nail inspo that range from classic and chic to trendy and modern that will hopefully inspire the manicure for your winter wedding.

Looks Like Lace

Lace is a classic accent on any wedding dress and it pops just as well on your nails. Lace detailing is the perfect way to make your nails stand out while also looking classy and chic.

Festive Foil

You can never go wrong with a classic nude set of nails for your wedding day, however, if you’re looking for a way to add a festive sparkle, try incorporating gold or silver foil details into your nail design.

Christmas Colored Tips

If you’re tired of getting the same old white french tip nails, you should try including a pop of a Christmas color like bright red or emerald green.

Blue Christmas

Avoid the Christmas blues on your wedding day with a fabulous set of nails to compliment your dream dress. These crisp blue tones are the perfect frosty accent for any winter wedding.

Classic Rudolph Red

Nothing says Christmas wedding like a timeless red manicure. You can throw in a couple accent nails to turn down the boldness of the red and add dimension.
