What did you get your bridesmaids?
Originally I wanted to get them all personalized gifts that were perfectly attuned to their interests.
And then I ran out of time.
So far I have 2 girls out of 6 done. I'm tempted to scap that and get them each a dogeared necklace or something.
What did you give your bridesmaids?
I was Beagle211
Re: What did you get your bridesmaids?
I got them each a necklace and earrings from Macys.
I also got them a Vera Bradley tote, makeup bag and lunch bag that I ordered directly from the Vera Bradley website. The bags I got were actually on sale. I thought it was something more practical than a bridesmaid bag with their name on it that would probably never get used again.
Jewels- where did you get their jewelry made?
I got them each a pashmina, and I want to get them something else. I also need to be budget conscious.
My little nuggets
I got them matching earrings, bracelet, pashminia and a broach that they put on the sash of their dresses. (I only had 2 girls), I offered to pay for their hair, only from FSIL, now SIL took me up
this is the broach (I can only remember what this looks like cause I love(d) it so much. I should have bought one for me),
Okay, here's what I got so far. They'll all be getting a pashmina as well
MOH (sister): Massage at a day spa in Chicago ($50)
FSILs 1 & 2: Philosophy gift sets
BM1: Thomas Kinkade print (already purchased)
BM2: framed sketch of her doggie
BM3: framed sketch of her dog and cat.
ETA: Sounds good?
Snoopy - that sounds great! I love that you tailored to the individual. I wish I had the time or energy to do that with 9 girls, but I ended up being happy with what I gave my girls:
canvas tote - i did an iron-on ribbon trim at the top of each bag in my wedding colors
ziploc bag of wedding day emergency supplies - floss, mouthwash, bandaids, advil, etc
bottle of spiced apple wine
pashmina
ON flip flops
pearl studs and this necklace
I did pashminias
a makeup bag from etsy
soap from anthro
a mug with their initial from anthro
i did pashminas it was october so the weather was cold, an overnight bag got them on sale at gap and matched the bm dresses, beaded necklaces i ordered them custom and they were cheap
I also tried to be budget conscious.

Hmmm... wine sounds like a good idea too.
Thank you for all the ideas!
It was through someone I knew at work. She's a NYC-based actress that does it on the side. As far as I know, she doesn't have an etsy or anything or else I'd give you her info. She designed something for me based on me sending a pic of the dresses and since I know her work well, I trusted her 100%. Probably not the way you want to go if you haven't seen her stuff.
I think based on what you said you have so far, your gifts are really nice and personal!
most of my girls had been in a bunch of weddings and had a lot of wedding (BM) jewelry so I got each of them VS satin button down PJ's and we wore them the morning of for pics while we were getting ready and then a pasmina (got married in November), a tote and something else I cannot remember. Then for my MOH i took her to get a mani/pedi the day before the wedding so that we had some alone time too. They all still wear the PJs and so do I!
