Bridesmaid Gifts: Fun Necklaces Finds on Etsy

This little way to say thank you can be anything from shoes to monogramed running shorts and back again! But my favorite gift that seems to be trending out there in wedding world and that is the necklace! It is functional and fun! Your girls can wear it during the wedding and for many years to come! Also I love them because they can be inexpensive and are always super cute!! It all depends on what kind you want to get, but they can fit any budget. I also have an unhealthily obsession with etsy.com which is where my inspiration pictures came from today. All of these necklaces are super cute and would make the perfect gift for your bridesmaids (or even yourself!). Etsy has so many more options to fit any style of wedding, literally so perfect!!! Just type in whatever you like in to the search bar and see what comes up! Happy hunting!!

Bridal Party Gifts

We here at Bliss Wedding & Event Design always have a soft spot for anything Louis Vuitton. We've been buying them for years and thought what a great little gift for your bridal party! Below are a few of our little leather favorites.

Any type of clutch, wristlet or accessory bag makes a great gift for the girls!

And for the boys, you can never go wrong with a leather wallet or a classic Louis Vuitton tie to go with a great summer suit.

Alternative Wedding Rings

It's true that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but not every girl sees herself as a princess cut. So what's a bride to do when she wants a beautiful but offbeat engagement ring or band? There are tons of alternative wedding rings available that are just as gorgeous as traditional rings. The Cognac Diamond Ring by L Frank is absolutely stunning with twists of gold and pear-shaped cognac diamonds:

Alternative rings aren't just for the bride. Honor your offbeat bridal party with the Amity Ring by Turtle Love Committee. Studded with amethyst, blue topaz, peridot, citrine and two garnets, it's a wonderful way to show your bridesmaids that you appreciate their unique personalities.

Gifts for the Bridal Party- Electronics

Electronics can make really great gifts for your bridal party. They are fun, cool, and useful!

The new Flip video camera is a great gift and it's easy to use! These flip cameras come equipped with a USB that conveniently flips from the side of the camera, so all you have to do is record the video then you can plug it right into your computer. You can save up to 120 minutes of your favorite memories on your flip, and once it fills up, just transfer the videos to your computer and record more! With the flip, memories will last a lifetime.

When in doubt, you can never go wrong with an Ipod! Since they are sold in a variety of colors, you can make the gift more personal by picking the perfect color that suits each person in your bridal party. I just saw the shuffle at Target for $48 each! Its a cool gift, and one you know will be used and appreciated!

Stylish Ties for the Guys

We love when the groomsmen get a little creative with their ties. It's a great opportunity to bring a little color and pattern to the wedding palette. So when we saw these we had to share!

Vera Bradley is not just for girls, but they also have great accessories for the guys too! The Vera Bradley ties are designed to add color and pattern to the typical male suit. These ties are made from 100% silk twill and are sold in 29 different patterns making these ties versatile, fun, and very stylish for any occasion! Did you know they are also under $40 each? Love that!

Gifts for the Bridal Party - I

Bridal party gifts are always a challenge - you want to give them something that say thank you and shows your appreciation for them participating in your wedding but make it cute, stylish and personal. We're going to do a 4 part series on gifts we think are great for your special girls and guys standing up for you at your wedding.

You can never go wrong with Tiffany & Co. This has been a staple in our jewelery box for years.

Here's a few of our favorites for the girls:

And, here's our favorite pick for the guys:

Happy Shopping!

Flowie Style

I love spring, summer and everything that goes with it. I'm also in love with Flowie Style. A company out of California who makes 100% cotton or linen scarves, bags and home accessories. Everything is hand sewn or screened in the Bay Area.

Wouldn't your bridesmaids love you if you gave them a really fashionable scarf instead of the usual pashmina as a gift? The tote bags make great gifts as well.

Everything is reasonable priced so fitting it in your budget isn't a problem!

Pretty Party Dresses

Bridesmaid dresses can be tough to pick. If you are looking for a really great dress for your bridesmaids that is stylish and comfortable you must visit Carrie Karibo in Cincinnati. She carries several designers that you won't find in just any bridal salon. The dresses are gorgeous and affordable. She also carries accessories and shoes to complete the look. Your girls will love your for selecting such a fabulous dress for them to wear on your special day.

Presents!...A More Personal Touch

Bridal party gifts are a tough item on the to-do list. These are usually a challenge for my clients as well as myself to come up with something creative, useful and within budget.

A favorite for the ladies is a wristlet or bag of some sort...and let's not forget about the ever stylish pashmina too! For the guys, it seems like ties to wear on the Wedding Day work well or a ticket to a favorite sporting event. But how about if you could personalize the gift without being cheesy or slapping a big monogram on the front (don't get me wrong I LOVE monograms and use them all the time) but just something different. How about a custom fabric label that is sewn into the purse or on to the tie or pashmina? Something like this:


Believe it or not they are relatively affordable - around $1 each and are sold in packs of 20. You can customize the entire design (this will increase your cost some) or just the text on the label. I found these at namemaker.com. Theirs ship within 2 days. How about that for different and unique?!
