Bridesmaid Gifts Your Girls Will Want

By Cathriona Murphy

When it comes to getting married, nobody will have your back more so than your bridal party! From spending hours trawling through dress shops, planning an action packed hen weekend, helping fill in those coveted invitations to the day itself. They will pour your champagne mimosa at breakfast, carry your backup lipstick and powder in their handbags, make sure your dress is looking great in every photograph and support you in the church as you say I do! So what better way than to say thank you for all that you do by buying a perfect gift, a token of your appreciation!

I have looked around for some of the most beautiful and affordable pieces to say I do thank you!

The first item I have chosen is this stunning open circle design, cubic zirconia necklace from John Ross Jewellers. For me, the circle design can be interpreted as your support circle of your bridal party, how they all came together to be at your side throughout. The design itself is very easy to wear, it can be worn dressy or casual making it a wise choice for wearability. Priced at a very affordable €39.00 it is ideal for those with a smaller budget or a large bridal party!

The second item is my personal favourite! This stunning silver cubic zirconia paper link bracelet is so elegant and stylish. It can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt or look beautiful with a little black dress! The inter linking paper links, again, are a good representation of a supportive unit. Priced at an amazing price point of €65.00 in John Ross Jewellers, it is still affordable to gift it to a large bridal party.

I absolutely adore the next item, again from John Ross Jewellers. These beautifully delicate pair of silver cubic zirconia half hoop earrings are priced at just €29.00! An absolute bargain! The design is completely en pointe with current trends. These again are extremely versatile and can be worn in both day and night time settings.

The next item is absolutely precious for the younger members of the bridal party, the flower girls! This exquisite floral pearl set has beautiful representation of the flower for the role of flower girl. The necklace and earrings will last for years to come, a beautiful memory to cherish. Priced at €65.00 it is another great price point from John Ross Jewellers.

Moving away from jewellery now, another great gift I feel is a beautiful, timeless fragrance. I went into CH Tralee to see what was on their shelves!

The first was Le Parfum Lumière by Elie Saab is an Amber Floral fragrance for women. With notes of orange blossom and jasmine, it makes a beautiful gift. An unforgettable timeless fragrance, gifting this to your bridal party will be a gift cherished for years to come, with the scent itself bringing fresh memories of the day to them when worn. Starting at €57.00 to €113.00 it is a very reasonable price point.

The next fragrance is Chloé Eau de Parfum Naturelle. This is an irresistibly floral perfume for women. Described as effortlessly elegant, it is a modern take on a woody rose scented fragrance. Very easy to wear in both day and night, it will turn heads wherever you go. Priced at €73.00 to €110.00 in CH Tralee, the stunningly elegant design makes it a beautiful addition to any make up vanity.
