But this time, the presents aren’t for us! The presents are for my girls—the four special ladies that will stand by my side on Saturday.
Before I go any further, I have to tell the girls not to read any further…
And I mean it…
Bridesmaids, stay away!
Each girl gets a black robe with their initials, to wear while we get our hair and makeup done. I also got one for myself with my new initials, but it’s white with black embroidery.
They each get a huge white, ruffled bag that they can use for laundry, dry cleaning, or to stuff a bunch of stuff in them for whatever need they might have.
Inside these cute damask boxes that I found at Hobby Lobby is a necklace that I made. They are all sterling silver with black and/or white pearls and Swarovski crystals.
Each lovely lady gets some comfort for her feet. Mom H didn’t want any of these, so I put in her bag a framed 5″x7″ picture that my photographer took of us when I had my bridal portraits, instead. 
Since the bags that I got them were just too big to put the rest of the gifts in, I took extra OOT bags and stuffed them with their gifts.
All four lined up and ready to go!
Did you get your bridesmaids an array of gifts, or just one larger gift?

I got mine each a different necklace suited for their own personalities from etsy.com. This took a couple months of scouring to find ones that were perfect for them, but each of them loved their necklace so it all paid off. I also got them a little “survival kit” that was inside a small clutch that my mom and I made, again, each fabric was different to suit their styles. The survival kit had small sizes of deoderant, bandaids, gum, nail file, etc. Plus I got each a shawl in case it was chilly, but they never actually had to use them.
Great gifts! I went the array route as well…. silver compact mirror with an etched scroll design from Red Envelope, Foot Petals heavenly heelz, pashminas, a Fringe Studio small glass tray and Product Body scrub & lotion. Plus for the MOH the Tiffany cupcake charm. Looking back one large gift (it was going to be a legit cashmere wrap) would have been easier to keep to a budget, but considering all I am asking of them it is all worth it
Ms. H, where did you get those fabulous robes??
very nice! i love the robes!
where did you get your OOT bags?
I got them an array of gufts. Maybe its just me but I think opening up a gift full of lots of smaller gifts is so much more fun.
OMG those damask boxes are so cute! You’re getting married Saturday! Are you like so excited??
I got mine different threadless t-shirts, different colored miss swiss army knives ( they have sewing kits for goodness sakes!), and knee length waffled robes. I thought it was a good combination of girly and fix-it. I don’t wear jewelry so I didn’t think picking it out for 4 girls was a good idea.
Love the gifts I’m getting my girls an array of gifts… an initial key chain, foot petals insoles and shoe grips, MAC make-up (along with the consult for the big day), a pashmina and a tote bag. I’m still on the look out for the latter two.
Where did you get those wonderful robes? What a fabulous idea! Don’t mind if I steal your idea
i chose the array as well. <3 the robes!!! i got my girls MAC makeup, a mini travel manicure set, Laura Mercier cremebrule hand creme, a small makeup bag for all of the goodies, big turquoisey blue jeweled cocktail rings, earrings, and paid for their ann taylor bm dresses. the girls really enjoyed it considering they foot the plane ticket across several states to be in our island wedding.
Loved all of those items!!! Can you share where you got the robes and ruffle bags??
