Poll: Bridesmaids Necklaces

vszyman

Hi all!  I could really use your help as I'm starting to stress the littlest flipping things!For BM gifts, I got them all ugg boots, completely blowing my gift budger (but I know they'll all love them for the winter wedding).Only thing, I feel like I should still get them jewlery (a couple of them have rather "loud" taste... and I'd rather just give them something to wear than have that "no you can't wear that" conversation).Anyways, I found a site with REALLY CHEAP jewlery:www.fashionjewelryforeveryone.com (check out the $5 section)So their dresses are navy, wedding is new years eve, they are getting ivory flowers:1.  Peal set?  too blah for NYE?2.  I was thinking ivory or champagne?  thoughts?Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Download Google Chrome and use that as your web browser. It's got a built-in spellcheck. The color of what you're talking sounds good, but you know better whether they go with the style of the dress. Is loud jewelry that bad on NYE, though?

Are their dresses identical? I am not one for matchy matchy everything. I want my bridesmaids to be able to personalize how they like. I can't find what you're referencing, sorry I might be stupid, but I would steer clear of pearl and get them something a little fancier since it is NYE. Maybe champagne.

I still can't believe you got them uggs. Are you SURE they'll like them? I'd wear them if given to me, but man, are they "ugg"-ly. lolI wouldn't give them identical jewelry if I were you. If some of them have loud personalities, give them something fun.

I wouldn't overthink the jewelry you give them in terms of whether they match the flowers. They may not wear it. In addition to their gifts, I gave my BMs some crystal/pearl necklace and earring sets. One wore the necklace, two wore the earrings, one wore nothing. Most BMs will tone down their "loud" jewelry for a wedding. I wear "loud" jewelry sometimes but I always make sure I wear something appropriate to a wedding, whether I'm in it or not. So you never know. Plus, would "loud" jewelry really ruin your wedding? I bet you anything you won't notice it in the pictures since most of them won't be closeups.

Ditto babling. Most loud jewelry wearers will tone it down for a wedding. Since you got them uggs, I think you may just want to think about maybe getting them gcs to starbucks or something rather than jewelry. I never wore any of the jewelry the bride got me ever again. In one wedding, my earrings didn't even come in time for the wedding, so she gave them to me after the event and I looked at them like "thanks for these...interesting....baublies that I'll never be wearing."

As long as you know they'll like Uggs (and that you got the right size and style), I LOVE the idea.  Then again, I own a pair and live in them during the winter.  Why not talk to them about what jewelry they were thinking of wearing?  I think it's OK to say, "Nothing crazy loud" and yet they can still wear something lovely and tasteful of their own  - and that saves you money!

I've heard uggs are very comfy, so that's a nice gift. But your gifts don't all have to match.BM jewelry isn't seen as part of the BM "gift" - just something you buy them if you want them to wear it. However, people will seriously not notice the BM's necklaces. They won't remember them later. It's not a huge deal to let them pick whatever they'd like, or to just say, "Hey, can you guys find something silver/pearl/whatever to wear with your dresses?"

I think thats a great ideal to give them uggs. as far as another gift , If you want them to wear matching jewelry get them silver chains necklaces or bracelets with monogrammed charms. That way it personalized to them.  Even if you get them the same thing.

msmerymac, uggs are comfortable. I own a pair, just HATE the way they look.....You should get a pair if you need a slip on pair of warm shoes.

If you want to go the jewelry route, what about getting them something similar, but tailored to each girl?  Like maybe the same necklace, but with each girl's birthstone or favorite color?  I'd probably be more inclined to rewear something more personal than a standard issue gift.

I agree with Stage, I'm kind of passed the point in my life where I want to wear really cheap jewelry. I told my bridesmaids that they could wear whatever jewelry they wanted, I asked that they try to stick to silver (their dresses had a silver accent,a nd they were wearing silver shoes) tone and that they try not to outbling me (that last part was a joke). When we were riding to the ceremony I did notice that some of the jewelry wasn't what I expected, but that was a 2 second thought and I never thought about it again. And my pictures with everyone still look great.
