Hello, hello! Today we’re asking the age-old question: what are you giving to bridesmaids as a token of your appreciation? If you’re still looking for the perfect item, here’s a surefire tip: give them a gift they’re sure to wear again. One of our favorite ideas for a sentimental – yet stylish – gift is a locket. Today we’re sharing a brand new collection of bridesmaid lockets by the always-lovely shop, The Blooming Thread PLUS offering a FREE $50 Gift Certificate to one lovely reader! Read on to see what we’ve found… and enter for a chance to score fifty bucks towards anything your little heart desires. Enjoy!

Bridesmaid Lockets They’ll Wear Again

These bridesmaid lockets – made of enamel – offer a delightful pop of color. Instead of a special event necklace they’ll wear once in awhile, this locket can be dressed up or down, worn with a little black dress or paired with a t shirt, jeans, and flats. I swear – every time I stop in at The Blooming Thread, I find something to add to my wish list… and these lockets are no exception! Check out this little mint number – my favorite!

Oh, and we can’t leave out hot pink… always a classic favorite.

And here are a few that also stole my little handmade-loving heart…

For the Bride

Last but not least, don’t forget to pick up a locket for you! I think ‘honey yellow’ would make a great bridal locket, particularly if you’re wearing an ivory or champagne gown.

Or, add a pop of color like beautiful bride, Ashley! (Photo by Solar Photographers.)
