Gift Ideas for Your Bridesmaids
All of your big planning to-dos have been checked off the list: vendors have been secured, dress has been purchased, invitations have been sent. Now it’s time to start thinking about the smaller details, like what to gift your bridesmaids!
Gifting your bridesmaid besties is a really nice gesture to say thank you for standing by your side - throughout the years and on your big day.
As a professional wedding makeup artist, I’ve seen some really unique gifts my brides have given to bridesmaids throughout the years. I wanted to share a few ideas with you in case you are stumped on what to gift your best gals!
Idea 1: Makeup and/or Hair Services
Being a bridesmaid in a wedding does not come without a price tag. Often times, bridesmaids are paying for a dress, heels, jewelry, hair, and makeup - amongst other expenses. Something that I see my bridal clients do quite frequently as a gift, which I think is an amazing idea, is pay for their bridesmaids’ makeup and/or hair services. This is one less thing your friends need to worry about shelling out for, and it’s something that they truly appreciate. Out of all the weddings I do, about 50% of my brides pay for their bridesmaids’ makeup services as either their full gift or part of their gift.
Idea 2: Stoney Clover Bags with Goodies
It’s no secret by now that Stoney Clover Lane has the absolute cutest pouches, bags, and accessories ever. The colors are to die for and the personalization options are endless. A really nice bridesmaid gift idea is to get each friend a pouch in her favorite color, customize it with her initial or monogram, and fill it with some goodies from Sephora.
Ideas on what to fill the pouch with:
Sephora Eye Mask and Face Mask (if you pass out the gifts during your rehearsal or early in the morning, they can use the masks pre-glam time!)
Tower 28 Beauty Lip Gloss (to touch up their lips throughout the wedding day - shade Pistachio is my favorite!)
NARS Blush (shade Orgasm is a staple that everyone loves)
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray (the mini size is perfect - great for freshening up makeup throughout the day)
Idea 3: Satin Feather Pajama Set
If you want your photos to look extra chic, opt for matching PJ sets as part of a gift to your girls. Robes are always cute, but these satin feather pajamas give a bit of extra flare plus a nice confidence boost!
