Sterling silver is by far the most popular precious material for bridesmaid gifts. It is beautiful, fashionable, and affordable. Unlike gold, silver does not cost a fortune, yet unlike cheap base metals, it will hold its beauty and value for a lifetime, making silver the perfect gift idea. These are some of the best sterling silver bridesmaid gifts for your wedding party.
When it comes to bridesmaid gifts, jewelry is the all-time favorite. There are an amazing array of choices for silver bridesmaid jewelry gifts. Brides with a classic flair will adore the Tiffany-inspired jewelry that is created for bridesmaids. A heart charm tag bracelet with the monogram of the attendant is a thoughtful gift that will be worn and enjoyed day in and day out. For the maid of honor, choose the same heart tag on a heavy link, and give her the necklace in addition to the bracelet.
Bridesmaids who are wearing strapless gowns need great necklaces to wear to the wedding. A silver necklace in a Tiffany-inspired graduated bead style is gorgeous. The silver beads are about the same size as pearls, but they will shine and catch the light. This is a fantastic statement piece that will find a home in any wardrobe. Your bridesmaids will love this style of silver necklace, which can easily go from the wedding to the office.
Silver pairs beautifully with Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, and czs for unique bridesmaid jewelry gifts for any type of wedding. One of the most popular bridesmaid gifts are sets of bridesmaid jewelry which are handcrafted using sterling silver and crystals in the wedding colors. You can design a set that works with any bridesmaid dress. For instance, if you are having a glamorous evening wedding, silver and crystal chandelier earrings are elegant and have that great wow factor. For an afternoon wedding, you could select a lovely set of bridesmaid jewelry with simple pearl drop earrings, a crystal and pearl pendant, and a crystal and pearl bracelet, all made with silver.
If your bridesmaids have enough jewelry already (just kidding – a woman can never have enough jewelry!), treat them to a place to keep it all. Silver jewelry boxes are a great bridesmaid idea. They look very impressive when inscribed with a monogram. Even better, splurge a little and include a special piece of bridesmaid jewelry inside each jewelry box. This makes for a truly memorable gift.
If you are the sentimental type, look for silver picture frames for your attendants. Usually the simplest designs are the best, as they will leave room for engraving. You can choose to engrave each bridesmaid's name on her frame, or perhaps a sweet message about friendship. Slip a favorite picture into the frame before presenting it. Avoid inscribing the frames with your wedding date, as that makes the gift seem like it is more for the bride than the wedding party.
Silver bridesmaid gifts are the perfect expression of gratitude for the women who make your wedding so special. After all, the wedding just wouldn't be the same without your closest friends there as your bridesmaids. Thank them with a silver gift that will take their breath away.
