In Weddings

They’re your favourite family members, your most precious friends; your bridesmaids are some of the dearest people in your life.

You are just as precious to them as they are to you and that’s why they will travel from far and wide to be with you on your wedding day. They feel privileged to be asked to be your bridesmaid and will do whatever it takes to make sure you have the best day possible.

That’s why they deserve a great gift.

A beauty voucher

With every wedding, the costs can add up quickly. Even your bridesmaids might be feeling their purse lighten as they fork out for the Hens night, shoes and spray tans. You’re worth it to them but it’s nice to give something back where possible. Everyone loves a good voucher, so perhaps you could arrange a beauty voucher for each of your bridesmaids to ensure they get a bit of relaxation time once the wedding is over.

Bridesmaids dresses aren’t known to have an abundance of pockets, so where do we keep our lipstick on the big day? A clutch will not only provide you all with a glamourous place to store your necessary items during the wedding, but it will double as a stunning purse for other special occasions.

Personalised coat hangers

Coat hangers often fly under the radar as some of the most precious wardrobe items. When a coat hanger is soft and well-shaped, it provides a great nesting spot for our favourite pieces of clothing. Personalise a soft hanger with your bridesmaids’ initials and they will thank you for saving their favourite cardigan from being stretched out of shape.

Pay for their wedding shoes
