Else HuttWhat to gift bridesmaids
From the moment you ask them to be by your side, to the morning of the ceremony, there are several opportunities to spoil your bridesmaids and maid of honour with thoughtful gifts.
But, if you're feeling overwhelmed by what to give them, fret not, we’ve done all the work for you. Start by exploring our bridesmaid's gifts and flowers for easy ready-made gifts to send straight to their door.
Bridesmaids proposal box gift ideas
Time to ask your closest friends and family to play those oh-so important roles? Put together a proposal gift basket full of goodies they’ll love. Start with a bottle (or two) of bubbly. Our Delacourt Champagne gift set feels instantly luxe with its neat keepsake box encasing two half-bottles of Brut and Rosé and secured with ribbon fastenings. Explore our champagne gift sets for more choice.
Go the extra mile with a personalised gift. Katie Loxton offers a wide range of accessories that can be stamped with a name or initials. We’re currently coveting this vibrant red purse with polished hardware and a neat wrist strap — perfectly marrying style and function.
What to put in a bridesmaid gift bag or box
Why not include pieces to use on the big day, alongside keepsakes for the future? Explore our nightwear, including pyjamas and a cosy dressing gown to wear whilst getting ready together. Choose styles in keeping with your wedding colours and gift yourself the equivalent in white, so that those precious getting-ready pictures feel even more considered.
Add a piece of jewellery, like a pendant necklace with their birthstone, or drop earrings that will add a polished feel to their final look.
Looking for maid of honour gift box ideas? Make theirs extra special with a decorative photo frame showing a cherished memory of the two of you that can be kept or replaced once you receive your official photos.
Inspiring bridesmaid favours ideas
Bridesmaid favours are small tokens of appreciation and typically given at the hen party, bridal shower or on the wedding morning.
Explore our scented candles, including Apothecary’s warmth scent and Neom’s Feel Refreshed three-wick option. Or, opt for a perfume that will forever transport them back to the celebrations. We love Discover’s White Coconut for summer ceremonies, alongside their spicy Pink Pepper for winter nuptials.
Or, how about a beauty product to help them feel pampered? We recommend Estée Lauder's Pure Colour Envy Lip Repair Potion for bringing nourishment and care to their routine. Plus, they can slip it into their bag to keep feeling moisturised all through the big day.
Alternatively, you can't go wrong with a hand cream or lotion. We love L'Occitane's Shea Butter hand cream, which has a soothing scent and creamy feel that hydrates the skin.
