I would make it a gift to them – don’t see why they would mind – lots of Brides do this – just like shoes, etc.

I do whatever the bride wants me to, within reason, if I’m a bridesmaid. Try to pick something that isn’t too trendy, and you shouldn’t have too much of a problem.

Does the jewellery all look the same? I don’t see anything wrong with it.
Maybe use the same design jewelley and make it in a way so that it suits their personalities?

It’s your day. It’s a gift to them. They are responsible to make you smile all day long!
So im sure if they are honoured to be on your line… they are going to LOVEEEEEE wearing your present!
Good luck

I think its fine… As long as its not tacky and loud, I don’t see why they wouldn’t want it wear it…

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA. I was in a wedding last summer and my friend, the bride, gave us all matching pearl earrings and bracelets to wear. Traditionally, the bride should give a gift of some sort to her bridesmaids, and this was my friend’s way of hitting two birds with one stone. We got beautiful jewelry we can treasure for the rest of our lives, and she got to make sure everyone matched. Dude, it is YOUR wedding. It’s perfectly within the realm of reason and common sense to want your bridesmaids to look good, and blend together. Go for it.

I think it’s your day and if they are good friends they should be game for anything. All my bridemaids are really girly so as a thank you for all there hard work at the rehersal dinner I gave them all matching Tiffany bracelets which there intial engraved on the heart to make it more personal and they all wore it on the wedding day without me having to ask hehe

It is your day, and they did agree to be in your wedding. With expenses high, and the fact that bridesmaids usually have to spend quite a bit of money to be in a wedding, they would probably welcome the gift. If you’re not sure of the jewelry, maybe you could have one of them go with you to help pick it out?
I believe that bridesmaids, for the most part, accept to be in a wedding knowing they may have to wear something they don’t like, do something they don’t like, etc. but that is just the way it goes. It’s your day and it’s your wedding – to be done in your style. If they had reservations about things, they should decline the offer. I wouldn’t worry about it, and present it in a very generous and enthusiastic manner.
congrats!!

Your bridesmaids are typically your best friends and they will be happy to wear whatever you want them to. Of course if it is something hideous they may not like it but if they are your friends and they love you they will want to make you happy.

Take all of them out on a coffee brake or a spa treatment. You can even have a girls night at your house with pizza. Then tell them how you would like them to wear this jewelery at your wedding and that it is somewhat important to you. Then tell them that you would truly appriciate it. I would wear it even if I didn’t like it at all. It is your wedding and you are the bride. They’ll have their own weddings sometime and understand. Good luck and congrats girl

I truly think it’s the best gift to give bridesmaids! I gave mine silver heart lockets, which they wore for the wedding.

I prefer when the bride gives us something. As long as it’s classic and simple everyone usually likes what the bride gives. One bride didn’t tell us and then the MOH showed up with his gigantic, awful pendant the size of a fist with some cat on it! Be prepared and make them wear the same thing.

If you give it to them, I doubt they will mind.

I was a bridesmaid and the bride bought us the same jewelry, none of us minded as it matched the dresses and stuff, at the end of the day if a didnt like it, it wasnt about me, it was about my friend so i wasnt going to get fussy about it.
em you could take them jewely shopping together and just say you would like them to pick matching jewely for the dresses….on you
this way you can point out things that you like and they might go for it

Ask them what they prefer doing. Show them the jewelry you have in mind. But have a non-jewelry thank you gift for them since it isn’t a gift if it’s something that you want them to wear for pictures, etc. to unify their look.

Im gonna get my bridesmaids all the same bracelet to wear to the wedding. I think thats a cute idea that way they match and they have some new jewlery.
