Great Bridesmaid Gifts For Winter Weddings

Bridesmaid jewelry

 

If you are having a winter wedding, it is time to pick out your bridesmaid gifts. They should be something special that really shows how much you cherish your friends. Check out these great ideas for bridesmaid gifts for winter weddings before you start shopping.

Christmastime weddings are definitely a great inspiration for wonderful presents for your friends. A sparkling Swarovski crystal snowflake pendant would make a spectacular present for your attendants. The great thing about these bridesmaid jewelry gifts is that your attendants can wear them for your wedding, but can also enjoy them on many other occasions. The maid of honor’s present is traditionally a little bigger, so you could add in the earrings that match the necklace. Treat your flower girl to a miniature version of the snowflake jewelry.

Anything soft and warm makes a great gift idea in the winter. Wraps are always popular, especially if your bridesmaids will be wearing sleeveless dresses for your wedding. A cozy monogrammed pashmina is a classic gift idea. It can look very pretty when the wraps contrast with the color of the bridesmaids dresses. A really fun glamorous idea is to get your friends faux fur shrugs. Just think about how fabulous your ladies will look.

Elegant engraved silver items are another wonderful choice for your winter bridesmaid gifts. Special items like mirrored compacts, engraved card holders or small silver picture frames are ideal. Engrave them with each woman’s monogram for a personalized detail that will make the gifts really special. If you choose a little silver box, it is always fun to put a handmade pair of earrings inside it as a charming surprise. Anytime you give a friend a picture frame, it is nice to put a great photo of the pair of you in it. It makes for a very nice present for a sentimental friend.

Christmas theme presents are also a good option for winter weddings. Your bridesmaids would be delighted to receive beautiful glass Christmas ornaments from a glassblowing studio. You can give each woman a slightly different ornament to make the presents more unique. It would be cute to give your friends handmade crystal earrings shaped like Christmas trees. Or for your friends who love home decorating, a beautiful needlepoint throw pillow with a holiday scene on it would be charming. Choices abound for Christmasy presents for attendants.

Take some time to wrap the presents to make them look extra beautiful. Beautiful paper, satin ribbons, and artful tags will show that you care enough to go the extra mile for your friends. When you present the gorgeous packages to your bridesmaids, they will certainly see how much you appreciate them.

Pretty Pink Gifts For Bridesmaids

 

Your bridesmaids do so much for you! Show your appreciation with beautiful presents that they will adore. Pink is a favorite hue for most ladies, making it a natural idea for bridesmaid gifts. Get inspired by these pretty pink bridesmaid gifts.

Handcrafted bridesmaid jewelry is one of the most popular gift ideas for the bridal party. Jewelry is always desired by ladies! Pink pearls are so beautiful for a springtime ceremony. Gorgeous suites of jewelry can be designed with pink Swarovski or freshwater pearls. Pearl tin cup necklaces with rose colored pearls are delicate and lovely. Even if your bridesmaids already have white pearls, they will enjoy having pink pearl necklaces for a change. They will always adore a special gift like pink pearl chandelier earrings.

Unique crystal jewelry also makes fantastic bridesmaid gifts. Your friends will positively glow in special pink crystal bridesmaid jewelry. Use pale pink crystals for an understated style, or have fun with vibrant hot pink crystals for a beach wedding. Try combining aurora borealis finish crystals with pink ones for custom Swarovski bridesmaid jewelry sets. Great choices include pendants, drop earrings, and sets of bracelets. The sparkly pink bridesmaid jewelry will look terrific with pink bridesmaid dresses, of course, but it is also a fun way to add a splash of color to a black or gray bridesmaid dress.

Sets of monogrammed bags or luggage are excellent presents for your attendants. There are many, many choices in lovely rose hues. A heavy white canvas tote with pink straps and a pink monogram is the perfect present for your bridesmaid with timeless style. If you have girly girls in your bridal party, treat them to pink floral garment bags or totes as their personalized bridesmaid gifts. A monogram in a pink script will add character to the bags. If you opt for cosmetic bags, fill them with a few little treats, such as fancy travel sized lotions, a luxury soap in a travel tin, and a pair of pink crystal earrings. Travel bags are a much appreciated gift for a far-off wedding.

Many home decorating items are available in lovely shades of pink. A fabulous bridesmaid gift would be a beaded silk throw in a deep pink hue. A set of pink crystal decanters would be a very special present for your attendants. Another pretty idea is a pink rhinestone picture frame with a photo of you and your friend in it. Choose a petite frame which is just the right size to place on a bedside table or dresser. The meaning behind the gift will make it much cherished.

Need more inspiration for rosy hued presents for your attendants? Consider luxurious cashmere sweaters for a winter wedding, a beautifully sculpted pink flowering topiary for the spring, or a pair of pink crystal bedecked sandals to wear for a summer wedding. And we all know that rosy pink is a mood elevator!
