You can tell at first glance that Catherine and I had completely different aesthetics at our wedding! Cath had a chic sequins Jenny Packham gown and us bridesmaids all wore black. I had a more traditional wedding, where I wore my mom’s dress and my bridesmaids wore various shades of ivory and champagne. (See all of the details from Catherine’s wedding HERE and from my Homestead Wedding HERE.)

One thing we both had in common was how much we love our bridesmaids! We both wanted to find the perfect gifts to show our girls how happy we were that they were a part of our special day. Catherine gave us all face masks for day-after revival and diptyque candles – our fave! I gave my bridesmaids wrap bracelets that they wore on the wedding day and a little box of goodies for the weekend. We both toasted our girls with Veuve on the magical days, of course!

If you are engaged or planning your own wedding, here are some options for great Bridesmaids gifts to show your girls you love ’em. No matter your wedding style, these gifts can be customized to fit both you and your girls personal styles and personalities.

Night shirt / Robes / Getting Ready outfits //
I gifted my bridesmaids Ralph Lauren nightgowns to get ready! I knew I didn’t want to do the floral silk robes so this was a fun alternative. If I got married today, however, I would have probably chosen my favorite Nordstrom night shirt or used our Let’s Talk Towels turkish towel robes.

Candles //
Every girl could always use more candles. We love, love, love diptyque, but also love more affordable options like Voluspa. Find our favorite candles over on this blog post! If you wanted to do something custom to commemorate the day, Etsy has some great options.

Framed photo of you + your ‘maid //
Choose a favorite photo of you two from the past, or after the wedding gift your favorite photo from the wedding and frame it! If you use an instax mini polaroid camera to document the wedding day, like we did at Catherine’s, giving one of those photos is an adorable idea. Again, Etsy has some really cute custom frame options.

Jewelry //
Giving your bridesmaids all the same piece of jewelry to wear on the wedding day is a popular idea, and I did it! Since all of my girls had different dresses, I liked having the bracelets to tie everything together. A simple pair of earrings or a dainty necklace would be perfect too. Kendra Scott has their own line of Bridesmaids jewelry and we love Gorjana for simple, elegant pieces too.

Recovery Kit //
Sheet masks, eye gels, Liquid IV, Advil and rose water are perfect recovery kit items for the day after the wedding! Liquid IV is crucial for rehydration and the other self-care items should be must haves for any morning after a night of celebrating! Gift sets like this Mario Bedascu Rose one are a great idea as well.

To all of our married friends – what did you give your bridesmaids? We’ll update this post periodically with your ideas included! Leave a comment below.
