Some of the best bridesmaids gifts ever received aren’t always the ones that cost the most, but they’re the ones gifted with the most thought. Women’s favorite bridesmaid gifts are unique, practical, and sentimental, and bridesmaids gifts that aren’t cheesy.

You’re busy as can be, Planning a wedding can be stressful, like really really stressful. Not just picking out your venue and selecting flowers- that’s the fun part! I’m talking about ALL those appointments that no one ever tells you about. A ton of different food tastings, cake tastings, floral shops, endless trips, meeting with your officiant, the DJ and of course endless trips to Hobby Lobby. Oh and on top of that you’re supposed to still keep going to work, or school, or both and keep up your booming social life.

We get it. Planning a wedding isn’t easy.

Now let’s talk about your bridesmaids, your friends from near and far. You’ve picked them all for good reasons from all different parts of your life, they’re your best friends and those you hold closest to you. However, let’s be honest, sometimes they can be a real pain, and some of them really have no idea how much goes into wedding planning because they’ve either a) never been in a wedding before or b) they’ve never gotten married, or maybe even both! Check out our full blog on the biggest struggles with bridesmaids.

That being said, at the end of the day we can share from experience that it will mean so much to have them standing by your side and with you getting ready on your special day.
