As you already know, I’m a keen gift giver and I’ve found some truly fabulous gift ideas on my hunt for bridal party gifts. Your bridal party are like your very own entourage and when it comes to saying a heartfelt thank you to your favourite people only the best will do. Read on to discover my ultimate gift ideas for everyone from the Mother of the Bride to your flower girl.
Let’s start with the Bridesmaids. When I was looking for gorgeous gifts for my favourite girls, I found so many options I couldn’t wait to pop them all in a post. Obviously I’m not going to blog about the actual gifts I bought for my Bridesmaids as I don’t want to ruin the surprise but there are some truly lovely gift ideas out there. If you have a lot of Bridesmaids and your budget is limited, a small token is all you need and this little leather mirror from Aspinal of London is perfect.
What about something pretty and practical? On a budget? Glamourous cosmetics like nail polishes in your wedding colours will go down or treat. However, even the most loyal bridesmaids may object to green nails. If you’ve chosen a colour like green or purple, head to Charlotte Tilbury for something a little more forgiving. Pick up a pretty pink or nude lip shade and pop it in a cute cosmetic case from Victoria Secret. Cute clutches that they can use on the day like these heart ones from Diane Von Furstenberg are ideal if you want to spend a little more or for something original yet affordable these mini SOS kits from Sew Lomax are a cute touch.
Why not pick a signature wedding scent from Jo Malone? The Peony and Blush is my personal favourite.
If you want to get them something they can wear on the day, these flower necklaces from Folli Follie are gorgeous. Or what a pretty pair of ballet flats from French Sole? For your flower girl only a pretty tiara will do.
Now here are a few gift ideas for the boys. Ushers will love anything from Aspinal of London and what about posh honeymoon luggage tags for the Groom? The backgammon sets will go down a treat with the Father of the Bride but these posh playing cards are just as fun if your budget is restricted. Not On The Highstreet is your go-to site for anything lovely and personalised.
For the Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom head straight to Jo Malone but don’t forget to add in something personal too. A lovely hand written note is always a lovely idea.
Everyone loves chocolate and these little zChocolat boxes are the perfect welcoming touch. Pop these little boxes of happiness in your guest rooms to thank those that have travelled a long way to be there on your special day.
Forgotten someone? What about those people who have agreed to do readings or entertaining your guests with a speech? Show your appreciation with a hamper full of their favourite things. The red wine delight hamper (white wine version here) from The British Hamper Company is a great all rounder. This company is my go-to for all occasions and there are also some adorable options for your favourite girls. Bubbles and truffles anyone?
How did you spoil your bridal party?
