Finding the Perfect Bridesmaid Gifts

After you say “YES” to your perfect partner, you get to choose the besties that will stand by your side as you say “I do”! Each of these ladies is, without a doubt, so important to you and adds her own unique element to your life. When you thank them for being a huge part of your big day (and your life!), you’ll want to celebrate them with gifts perfectly suited to who they are!

The hallmark of a great gift is for it to be thoughtful and unique. But I also think it should be useful – and gifts for your bridesmaids should be no different. If you give them a gift they can use during wedding festivities and in their everyday life, they will think fondly of the memories from your wedding for years to come! So first, think about each of your girls and what makes them, and then check out the list below to find a perfect thank you gift that they will absolutely love!

Homesick candles make a super sweet gift for a sentimental bridesmaid. Scent is a super powerful memory sense, and these candles hit the nail on the head. – you can pick a favorite memory the two of you share and use a candle to bring those memories flooding back.

If, instead, you want to commemorate new memories being made at all your wedding festivities, the “Let’s Toast” candle will remind her of the bachelorette party and being by your side on wedding day!
