Your bridesmaids are essential to your wedding journey, supporting you from the initial planning stages straight through to the dance floor, and deserve to be celebrated. Whoever makes up your bridal party, from Mother of the Bride to Maid of Honour, deserves a memorable personalised gift that evokes something as unique and precious as they are – a beautiful, forever keepsake to evoke happy memories of the special wedding day.
Finding meaningful bridesmaid thank you gifts allows you to celebrate each individual and say, ‘I can't say I do without you.’ As the original personalised jewellery company, founder-led by Alice Rivers-Cripps with handmade personalised jewellery in Brighton since 2004, Posh Totty Designs crafts bespoke pieces that capture love, friendship, and every magical moment. If you’re looking for what to get your bridesmaids as gifts, here’s a guide to the perfect ‘thank you’ presents.
How to Choose Jewellery Gifts for Your Bridal Party
Knowing how to choose jewellery gifts for your bridal party comes down to balancing your overall wedding aesthetic with each person's individual taste. We asked our Posh Totty Designs Wedding Jewellery Designer, Katie, to curate her top bridal party jewellery gifts and the perfect maid of honour jewellery gift. They are all crafted from recycled sterling silver and gold and ethically sourced birthstones.
Personalised Earrings
Bridal and bridesmaid earrings take centre stage on the day, framing the face and complementing bridal hair and makeup. Classic stud earrings with a hand-set pearl or diamond, or a traditional design such as Russian Ring earrings, work well for a subtle, understated elegance that suits almost any dress neckline. For off-the-shoulder or strappy bridesmaid gowns, drop earrings inlaid with precious stones add a delicate touch of movement and sparkle.
Designer's tip: Finding the perfect pair of bridal and bridesmaid earrings is an important task, but also choose something timeless and elegant that the bridesmaids can wear after the wedding day and treasure forever. Classic pearl earrings, diamonds, or precious stones with a simple earring design make gorgeous keepsakes.
Personalised Lockets
Call it the 'Bridgeton' or 'Pride and Prejudice' effect, but lockets are key pieces right now for both bride and bridesmaid, offering a charmingly nostalgic and sentimental addition to wedding-day styling. Subtle and emotive, a personalised locket provides a contemporary twist on a traditional favourite through delicate hand-stamped initials, clean modern lines, or intricate floral engraving. You can also add a photograph of the bride and her bridesmaids or the wedding couple for an extra personal touch.
Designer's tip: The Floral Engraved Locket can be personalised with the bridesmaid's initial to create a matching but individual look to the Bridal party styling.
Birthstone Jewellery
Personalised birthstone jewellery is a magnificent way to introduce colour and personal meaning into your wedding party's attire. Jewellery gifts for bridesmaids with ethically sourced birthstones allow each piece to tell a story. You might choose to feature each bridesmaid's specific birthstone to highlight their individuality or select the birthstone corresponding to the month of your wedding day to unify the entire group.
For matching but unique jewellery ideas for bridesmaids, our Confetti Birthstone Collection makes it effortless to maintain a cohesive look across your bridal party while giving every individual a bespoke touch. You can choose from necklaces, bracelets or confetti rings and select either one birthstone or multiple.
Designer’s tip: Select the Personalised Texture Confetti Birthstone Bangle, allowing you to add up to 8 birthstones so you and your bridal party can carry pieces of each other throughout the day.
Personalised Bracelets and Bangles
Bridal and bridesmaid bracelets and bangles are making a big comeback and make the perfect Maid of Honour gift. They can add subtle sparkle or make a real statement addition to the bridesmaid's outfit. Handmade bracelets allow you to create something bespoke for each bridesmaid, and bangles have lots of space for personalisation to make a unique and emotive bridesmaid's keepsake.
Designer's tip: The Tie the Knot Jewellery collection includes subtle Tie the Knot Bangles or dainty, subtle open rings that can be worn by the bridesmaids and bride alike.
Russian Ring Collection
Our iconic Russian Ring collection, featuring intertwining bands of precious metal, symbolises everlasting connections, making it a natural choice for bridesmaid and Maid of Honour jewellery. Whether crafted as a necklace, a pair of subtle stud earrings, or an elegant bangle, the interlocked rings provide generous space for subtle hand-stamped names or meaningful words, creating an understated yet striking statement piece.
Designer's tip: If there aren’t enough rings to stamp on your bridal party names, the Personalised Confetti Birthstone Russian Ring Necklace allows you to add up to six birthstones.
Finding the Perfect Personalised Jewellery Gifts for Bridesmaids
Selecting bespoke gifts should be a joyful part of your wedding preparations. Pieces with ample space for customisation, such as our Personalised Mini Message Necklaces and Little Message Envelope Necklaces, work brilliantly for the entire group.
You can engrave a short phrase, a shared joke, or your wedding date to create a one-off item that holds memories tight. For further guidance on customising your pieces, explore our helpful guide on Top Ten Tips to Personalise Jewellery to ensure every detail is suited to your vision.
