It really is up to you if you’d like to get your bride a special gift. Usually, wedding gifts are given to the couple, depending on their gift request. But a gift from a bridesmaid to a bride is a personal choice. It’s a really lovely idea if you would like to do so, which any bride is sure to treasure and love.
Don’t feel like you have to spend anything on a gift. A heartfelt message could cost you £0 or a DIY gift could cost up to £20 depending on materials. These will go a long way in making any bride feel special.
When buying a gift £20-£50 is a good ballpark figure for budgeting for a gift for a bride from bridesmaids. You could always club together with the rest of the wedding party to get something more special or an experience voucher.
There are a few options on when to give the bride her wedding gift:
And that's a wrap on gifts for brides from bridesmaids. I hope that you are now full to the brim with lovely ideas about how to spoil your bride. They are going to love the thought and effort you've put into their wedding gift.
There are endless bridal gift ideas, but those are just a few of my favourites. Happy shopping!
