Bridesmaid Gifting – What to get?

Choosing your bridesmaids is one of the most significant decisions you’ll make when planning your wedding. These are the women who have stood by you through thick and thin, shared in your laughter and your tears, and will now stand beside you on one of the most important days of your life. I was incredibly lucky with the bridesmaids I chose, as they were so deeply happy for me and went above & beyond to make my wedding planning, hen do, and wedding day itself as amazing as possible. My hen do was completely perfect, and they had thought of every detail to make it as personal to me as possible. And on my wedding day itself I wanted for nothing! The girls were so attentive and I could not have been more grateful.

But I know it isn’t always like this for brides and their bridesmaids, as sometimes a bridesmaid (or two!) doesn’t understand how important your wedding day is to you, and in rare circumstances there is definitely a bit of jealousy that comes out to play! My advice is to think really carefully about whether each person you are considering will be SO happy for you and be willing to go above & beyond to support you.

Once you’ve chosen the special women who will be your bridesmaids, the next exciting step is to consider how to ask them/what to gift them. Bridesmaid gifts are a heartfelt way to express your gratitude and to create lasting memories of this special time. From personalised jewellery to bespoke keepsakes, the options are endless. I absolutely LOVED putting together ‘will you be my bridesmaid?’ gift boxes for my girls, and included a few local treats and some personalised bits inside one of our A4 Treasure Boxes. There are many options you can browse online, and Etsy is always a good place to find personalised, affordable keepsake gifts (I’m currently on the hunt for 1st birthday party favours and Etsy is my go-to!).

However, one gift that stands out for its elegance and practicality is our Bridesmaid Dress Box. Handcrafted with care in Devon, our preservation boxes are designed to ensure that your bridesmaids’ beautiful dresses remain in pristine condition long after the celebrations have ended. You could also consider our Prom Dress Box, as it is a slender option for sleeker dresses.

Whichever option you go for, they are more than just practical storage solutions; they are timeless keepsakes. Each box is handmade with the utmost attention to detail, reflecting the elegance and sophistication that your bridesmaids deserve. By gifting them a preservation box, you are not only helping them protect a cherished garment but also giving them a piece of your wedding day that they can treasure forever. This thoughtful gift is a testament to your appreciation and a beautiful way to honour the special bond you share with your bridesmaids.

So, as you plan your perfect day, remember that choosing the right gifts can make all the difference in showing your gratitude and creating lasting memories for your best girls.

I have recently received my order from you, and would just like to thank you all so much for my wedding dress box. It was a surprise to see such a wonderful designed box, which had a lot of storage space. I have searched high and low for a large box and have only been successful with yourself.
Very rarely in this busy world we lead do I feel strongly enough to put “pen to paper” however having taken delivery of my wedding dress travel box this morning I feel compelled to write to you! I must admit that initially, I hesitated about placing an order for what seemed effectively like just an empty box. Well, I stand corrected! The box is absolutely stunning and of amazing quality – I simply had to express my thanks for supplying such a beautiful product. Rest assured it will be displayed with pride on top of my wardrobe.
Wow! What a beautiful box for my wedding dress. It was so sad to pack my dress away, but your box was just perfect. My Mum thought I was ordering just an ordinary plain box! No way! Thank you so much.
I just wanted to send a big thank you for my lovely wedding dress box, which I received last week. I am very impressed by the attention to detail – from the quality beautiful box itself, to the way in which it was packed to ensure it arrived in pristine condition. All for a very reasonable price! My dress fits perfectly inside and the box has pride of place in my wardrobe.
Just wanted to write and say how pleased I am with my Wedding Dress Box, my dress fits perfectly and the design (essence gold) is exactly in keeping with my wedding colour scheme. The dress box is so good, I’ve just ordered a tiara box to match!
