Bridesmaid Gifts They’ll Actually Want to Keep

Bridesmaids: Your bridesmaids are the ladies who have been there through it all. There may be several gifts you consider along the wedding journey –like a “bridesmaid proposal”, something to open at the bridesmaid luncheon, or an incorporated look to wear on wedding day. Giving them a personalized gift is the perfect token of your gratitude. Although gift boxes or bags will never go out of style, we see gift giving trending towards a single, higher ticket luxury gift item instead of a few smaller gifts. Here are few curated gift ideas for your bridesmaids that they’ll love and appreciate.
