Special gifts for your bridal party
If you’re getting married soon, you might want to show your love and appreciation for the nearest and dearest in your bridal party. You could choose a special keepsake they can wear again and again, or opt for something that complements your bridal look and unifies your bridal party.
Our guide highlights our favourite pieces that make ideal gifts for your bridal party, whether you’re looking for jewellery that matches your bridal jewellery or something they can enjoy long after the wedding day.
Bridesmaid gifts for a traditional wedding
If you’re having a traditional wedding, it makes sense that the gifts for your bridal party match the occasion – particularly if you’re giving your bridesmaids jewellery to wear on the day. Classic choices include a solitaire pendant or earrings for a timeless and elegant look that suits everyone. Or, if you’re having a big church wedding, a diamond cross makes an excellent choice.
Round Diamond Halo Pendant (SKU: SDNA02)
An elevated classic, our round-cut diamond halo pendant is the ideal choice for a meaningful gift to show your bridesmaids exactly how much they mean to you. You can fully customise this pendant by selecting the metal and choosing between a natural or lab-grown diamond. You can also personalise the 4Cs by deciding on the carat weight, colour, clarity and cut for a heartfelt gift that feels truly personal.
Classic Round Diamond Cross Pendant (SKU: SDLMJDC1725)
If you’re opting for a traditional church wedding, a cross pendant makes a beautiful and appropriate choice for your bridal party. A cross pendant is a demure and traditional gift that can be personalised to your taste and budget. Choose your preferred metal, silver, gold or platinum, as well as the perfect diamonds for your design. Opting for round diamonds ensures maximum light performance, creating plenty of fire and brilliance.
Traditional Round Diamond Stud Earrings (SKU: SDDOMERG1014)
Solitaire earrings are also an excellent choice for a traditional bridesmaid gift. Our traditional round diamond earrings can be customised with diamonds ranging from 0.3–4 carats, depending on how much of a statement you want to make. Diamond stud earrings pair beautifully with an elegant updo and can be worn time and time again.
Modern jewellery gifts for bridesmaids
If you’re celebrating your marriage with a more modern celebration, you’ll want to ensure you have the gifts for your bride that match. Our choice of modern jewellery gifts is not only elegant, but fashion-forward too. Meaning your bridesmaids don’t have to wait for a special occasion to wear them again.
Round Diamond Crawler Earrings (SKU: SDSE4865)
Our round diamond crawler earrings are stylish, meaningful and wearable for the wedding day and beyond. Climber earrings are contemporary yet timeless; their sleek silhouette feels modern, while diamonds always remain a classic choice.
Love Knot Round Diamond Solitaire Pendant (SKU: SDDOMPD2015)
A love knot symbolises connection, friendship and eternal ties, making it perfect for honouring your close bonds with your bridal party. At the centre sits a round diamond that catches the light beautifully. This pendant is both modern and classic, making it a subtle choice for the wedding day and a cherished memento afterwards.
HBRDR037 Pear Shape Delicate Diamond Bracelet (SKU: HBRDR037)
This delicate bracelet with a pear-shaped diamond is beautifully thoughtful. The fine chain design feels special without being overpowering. Bracelets are an excellent gift for bridesmaids as they symbolise a continuous circle of friendship. The pear-shaped diamond works well with a sleeveless bridesmaid dress but is delicate enough to complement any outfit.
Jewellery gifts for the mother of the bride or groom
A wedding celebrates the joining of two families, and what better way to thank your new mother-in-law for raising the person you’re about to marry than with a special piece of jewellery?
Some of our favourite timeless, classic pieces include:
Classic Single Row Diamond Tennis Bracelet (SKU: SDLMJXYB8094)
A classic single-row diamond tennis bracelet is a fitting gift for the mother of the bride or groom. Elegant and refined, a tennis bracelet never goes out of style. It’s perfectly suited for a woman who has supported, guided and celebrated you both throughout your journey to the wedding day.
Princess Diamond Designer Pendant (SKU: SDPF5111)
Our beautiful princess-cut diamond designer pendant is another meaningful gift choice. Worn close to the heart, a pendant carries emotional significance, symbolising your love and gratitude for all she has done. This designer piece adds personality and shows that you’ve chosen a gift with intention.
Top tips for giving your bridal party gifts on your wedding day
Giving your bridal party gifts is a wonderful way to show how much they mean to you. Choosing gifts they’ll treasure and wear again is far better than choosing something purely to match your wedding aesthetic.
If you’re buying gifts for your bridesmaids, they don’t all have to be identical. Instead, opt for items that complement one another but still feel cohesive. For example, you could give each bridesmaid a solitaire necklace but personalise the metal to match their preference for white, yellow or rose gold.
We recommend giving your bridal party their jewellery gifts on the morning of the wedding while you’re all getting ready. These quiet moments ensure the gifts don’t get misplaced and give everyone time to put them on before the ceremony.
Finally, don’t forget a personal touch. Including a handwritten note or card thanking them for their love and support goes a long way and will be cherished just as much as the gift itself.
