5 Rules for Bridesmaid Gift Giving

Posted June 14, 2013 by EmmalineBride | ♥ Leave a Comment!

Hello, loves! Today we’re talking about bridesmaid gift giving. As everyone knows, no two bridesmaids are the same. When my sister planned her wedding, she hand-selected each detail from the handmade cake topper she crafted with her friend right down to the bridesmaid gifts. To top it off, she hand-picked each member of her bridal party something different because she knew we each possess a unique style. Today we’re inspiring you to take Elise’s advice. As with all great gifts, it’s the thought that counts. You only get one chance at giving a bridesmaid gift and today we’re helping you to make it great. We’ll show you why to give a gift, why hand-selecting each bridesmaid gift is important, the bridesmaid gift to avoid, when to give the gifts, and more. Read on for the rules…

… then pearls are a close second! Today, we’re showcasing five vintage-inspired pearls for the bride by Lyn Jewels where you can find pearl necklaces, bracelets, brooches and more. Read on to find five of our hand-picked pretty pearl favorites and why we like ‘em. Enjoy!

#1: Multi-Strand Pearl Bracelet

First up is a multi-strand chunky pearl bracelet with varying sizes of pearls (4mm, 6mm and 8mm). A silver chain finishes the piece and can be adjusted.

Why We Like It: If a necklace doesn’t work with your gown’s neckline, a bracelet is an easy way to tie in the look. The varying pearl sizes combines both a traditional and modern look.
