Bridesmaid
When someone asks you to be their bridesmaid, it’s both an honour and a second full time job. Dresses. Hen dos. Midnight emotional support texts. Standing beside them while they say vows on the most anxiously awaited day of their life and being totally selfless for those hours. If that’s not enough to commemorate, I don’t know what is.
We’ve put together this collection of gifts because time and time again, we saw the same things given - and they were never quite right. Budget, generic, or so intensely personal they teetered on novelty territory. We wanted something else. We wanted the gift that shows her you put thought into it, you know her and you know what she’s shouldering when she agrees to stand beside you at the altar.
Every item in this shop has been handpicked with that girls friends in mind. Not the maid of honour, the friend. The women who’ve supported you long before this crazy wedding planning journey and who will be there for you long after the wedding, when the flowers have wilted and thank you cards are sent and life slips back into a new normal. When you pick the perfect gift for your ladies, that’s the relationship that should be reflected. Something to keep, use, and love, not just smile and stick in a drawer.
We’ve tried to find meaningful gifts that don’t take themselves too seriously. Pieces that are well made you can tell without us having to shout about it. Some of our suggestions are perfect as standalone gifts. That special something you hand her as soon as she says yes so you can have a moment just between the two of you before the planning madness begins. Others we think work best as a collection. A little bunch of something for them all to enjoy on the morning of while you’re all getting ready, cups of tea in hand and the nerves beginning to set in – because let’s be real – a well timed and well chosen gift can relax any bride to be.
We’ve kept our list short because that’s what we do best. You don’t need forty gifts to choose from. You need one. And once you’ve spent weeks scrolling through every “best bridesmaid gift” list on the internet, we think you’ll find the one at our hearts here.
