Bridesmaids are the unsung heroes of any wedding day – whether they’re calming your nerves before you walk down the aisle, fixing your dress, or giving the best wedding speech you’ve ever heard. Not to mention everything they do before the big day, like organising your spectacular hen do and trailing around wedding dress shops until you find ‘the one.’

While your cheeks are still rosy with that newly-wed glow and your heart is warm and fuzzy, why not keep the celebrations going a little longer? Send a gift that says ‘thank you for being my bridesmaid’ to show how much you valued their part in your big day.

Bridesmaid ‘thank you’ gift ideas

Something to remember the big day

After all the hubbub of the big day dies down, a bridesmaid gift is a lovely way to rekindle the magic. This could be as simple as a one-of-a-kind bouquet of the same flowers or colour as the ones used in your wedding centrepieces.

Personalised bridesmaid robes are perfect to gift on the morning of the wedding, so while your bridal party are getting ready for the main event, they can luxuriate in silk robes that they can keep forever. Not only is this practical for doing hair and make-up, but it will also bring back fond memories of your beautiful wedding day every time they catch a glimpse of it in their wardrobe.

Pop open a bottle of bubbly with your bridal party and gift each member a champagne flute with a difference. Why not personalise the glasses with each person’s name and the wedding date, to act as a keepsake they’ll use for years to come? Follow up with a bottle of our Devaux Grande Reserve NV Champagne for a truly indulgent bridesmaid gift.

Share the love with your nearest and dearest with roses, and show your gratitude for your bridal party with peach or pink tones. Bright or deep pink roses, in particular, will perfectly express your admiration and appreciation.

For a flower arrangement that says ‘thank you for being my bridesmaid,’ consider heart-warming hydrangeas. In Japanese culture, hydrangeas, particularly blue ones, translate to “thank you for understanding”. Pink hydrangeas are also a delightful bridesmaid gift as they embody heartfelt emotion. Either colour hydrangea could be the perfect choice to express thankfulness for your bridal party.

We couldn’t complete our bridesmaid gift ideas without mentioning lovely lilies. The large petals and bright colours are the perfect vessels to say thank you to that extra special bridesmaid, maid of honour, or flower girl. Yellow lilies are popular to portray gratitude, but any colour of these beautiful blooms will brighten your bridal party’s day.
