Planning a wedding comes with plenty of things and people to remember, but if there is one group you must never forget it is your bridesmaids! These girls will be with you through thick and thin, at your side every step of the incredible journey that is planning your wedding, and your tightest crew on the big day itself. So it is only right that you show your appreciation with a thoughtful gift, to show them how much you love them and recognize their efforts.
And if your big day involves a cruise or a destination beach wedding by the sea? What better way to mark this momentous occasion than with jewellery inspired by the high seas?
So whether you shop exclusive Mexican silver jewellery on your bachelorette getaway or commission something custom-made and heartfelt, jewellery is guaranteed to make your bridal party feel loved, pampered, and perfectly accessorized as you tie the knot. Here are a few ideas to help you find the perfect maritime-themed pieces for your best girlies!
Nautical-Themed Charms
Nautical-themed charm bracelets or necklaces are the perfect accompaniment to an ocean-themed wedding. Whether you go for something delicate with maritime features (think anchors, seashells, starfish, or tiny sailboats), or something a little more rustic like jewellery made from reclaimed driftwood or old rope, these charming pieces are an incredible complement to your big day. Opt for something that is meaningful to the special bond you have with your friends and you’ll create a gorgeous keepsake your bridesmaids will be able to wear long after the ceremony is over.
Gemstone Stud Earrings
Sometimes simplicity is the most elegant and sophisticated way to go, and this is certainly true when it comes to jewellery. Minimalist gemstone studs are the perfect complement to almost any wedding look, and you can choose stones that reflect the colour theme of your wedding to ensure a match.
Personalized Initial Necklaces
Personalized jewellery always adds a charming touch and is guaranteed to leave the recipient feeling special. Initial necklaces are a lovely way to go, as each one can be personalized for the wearer, but combined they also have a coherence, making them an ideal choice for a group of bridesmaids. Choose sleek minimalism or something a little more ornate, depending on the overall vibe of your wedding, and similarly pick between gold, silver, or rose gold to match the theme. These necklaces are a timeless reminder of the bond you all share and the perfect memento of your special day.
Pearl Jewelry
Pearls are the gemstones of the ocean, literally the bounty of the seas, and as such are particularly fitting for weddings with a maritime touch. Pearl jewellery exudes grace, elegance, and timeless style, allowing you to add vintage charm to your bridesmaids’ outfits while showing how much you care. Think about giving each of your bridesmaids a different piece, from delicate pearl drop earrings to stylish bracelets, as this is an ideal way to preserve the coherence of the theme while making each gift special and unique
Ocean-Inspired Rings
If you want to think outside the box a little why not go beyond traditional bridesmaid gifts and give your besties ocean-inspired rings? These could be bands that evoke the shape of the waves, bands that include a seashell theme, or just ring with stones that echo the colours of the seas. While rings are traditionally the arena of solely the bride and groom, exchanging rings with your bridesmaids is an incredible way to show unity and love to the other special people in your life and to go in a less traditional direction.
A Thoughtful Touch for the High Seas
Your bridesmaids are some of the most important people involved in your wedding. From planning the ceremony and taking you away on your bachelorette escape to being with you throughout the big day, they are your ride-or-die crew and deserve your gratitude.
Choosing the perfect jewellery is an ideal way to say thank you and adds a heartfelt touch to your nuptials. With gifts that match up to the theme of your wedding you’ll create a memento they’ll never forget and cement the bonds of friendship forever.
So as you get down to the serious business of planning your dream wedding, don’t forget about celebrating the contribution of your bridesmaids with gorgeous, thoughtful pieces that will act as a constant reminder of everything you share!
