Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

Many brides struggle in deciding what gifts to get for their bridesmaids.  You want something that will show how much you appreciate all they have done for you and how much you care for them.  I think some of the best bridesmaid gifts are the ones that are unique and heartfelt.  You also want something they can use or wear again in the future.

Nowadays, some brides are even choosing to forgo the traditional bridesmaid bouquet and having their girls walk down with a beautiful clutch. Accent the clutches to make them a little different and not only do they have a clutch for the wedding but a purse they can use later!

Jewelry is always among the list of bridesmaid gifts. It will never go out of stylish. Find out the unique pieces to show off your personalities and sensibilities.

Lace fabric wedding dress is usually very sexy, yet elegant.

Tissue paper is often used in between two pieces to be sewn together when stitching the chiffon wedding dress. It can remain intact and stay in place. After sewing, the tissue paper can be carefully ripped out.

Giving a lasting and impressive memory of one’s wedding day to the guests must be very proud thing. Buy wedding gifts from shops not only cost you a lot, but also seem too common. Usually wedding favors are candies, cookies or cakes. Have you ever think about making the wedding gifts by DIY? 

In fact, you have huge amount of option besides food as your wedding favors. DIY-gifts don’t need to be complicated. My idea is that something recycled and environment friendly is the best. Therefore what could be more eco-friendly than giving a live plant to each guest? Planting flowers you like will give you huge pleasure. What’s more important is that your guests will take the small lovely plants with back to their home.
