Have you been searching tirelessly for something thoughtful to give your bridesmaids? Or even for the perfect piece of jewelry for you to wear with your bridal gown? My long-time friend, Arkansas native and local Stella & Dot stylist Lauren Reynolds, has some amazing suggestions for not-so-traditional bridal party gifts.
Lauren told Arkansas Bride that she is seeing more and more brides dress up their bridal party with Stella & Dot jewels (earrings, necklaces, rings, or bracelets), and has been getting a ton of positive feedback about it.
You can accomplish a couple of things by giving your girls pieces from the Stella & Dot line to wear at your wedding. Not only will it be a fun, trendy way to spruce up a bridesmaids dress, but it will also serve as keepsake for them to cherish for years to come. (Stella & Dot pieces, and pieces from similar jewelry lines like Guy & Eva, have more personality than plain, prom rhinestone jewelry you see time and again).
Another unique idea: Instead of a bridesmaid luncheon or gift-wrapped bridesmaid gifts, host a jewelry shopping party to thank them for their help with the wedding. Tell them to pick out one or two (or more depending on how generous you are) for them to wear with their bridesmaid dresses come wedding day.
All Stella & Dot Jewelry is 14kt gold or sterling silver, and is hypo-allergenic, lead and nickel free. And if you’re in a rush—don’t panic—all orders are guarantee to ship within two business days of your order date (that is, if you pay with a debit or credit card).
Visit Lauren’s personal Stella & Dot website to browse all the fun collections and, if you’re looking for something more traditional, be sure to check out the Bridal Boutique. There are plenty of classic pieces for brides-to-be, bridesmaids, mothers in the wedding party, and even flower girls to choose from, too!
