The Best Luxury Gifts to Treat Your Bridesmaids

Words by Anna Gosling


Amid wedding planning mania, it is your bridesmaids who provide a welcome calming presence. From assuring you that yes, that is the dress to making sure you thoroughly let your hair down on the hen do, the support of your inner circle is key to your enjoyment of your big day. A gift to show them how grateful you are is a small token of appreciation that they will treasure. To guide you, we’ve crafted the crème de la crème of thank-you gifts, from considered pamper essentials and indulgent treats to thoughtful pieces they’ll cherish forever.

For the Maid of Honour: Guerlain L’Art & La Matieré Eau de Tulle

A soft, feminine composition of florals, white musk and vanilla, Eau de Tulle makes an extra-special gift for your maid of honour. The beautiful combination of notes have been put together to emulate the delicate lace of a bride's veil - a gorgeous reminder of the special moments you'll share together on the day. To make the gift even more personal, visit Guerlain’s boutique in-store for complementary bottle engraving.

Something to Treasure: Monica Vinader Gemstone Bracelet

Coordinating jewellery is a lovely way to link all of your bridesmaids together and give them something to remember the day by. Monica Vinader’s Gemstone Bracelet allows you to personalise each piece with the wearer's birthstone for a gift that is equal parts considered and chic.

For the Skincare Obsessed: Clé de Peau Beauté The Icons Collection Gift Set

Featuring the brand’s bestselling Le Sérum and La Crème, this set provides the ultimate two-step regime for fresh, glowing skin. Both formulas contain myriad rejuvenating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts, perfect for perking up skin pre and post wedding.

For The Home Bird: Trudon Figuerie Scented Candle

Candles are such a gifting staple, it would feel remiss not to include one on your bridal party shopping list. As one of the world’s most prestigious candlemakers, Trudon elevates a classic gift to headier heights. The Figuerie scented candle smells as divine as it looks, breathing freshness into any space thanks to crisp notes of white fig and green leaves.

For the Morning Of: Harrods Cotton Stripe Short Pyjama Set

Matching loungewear is a prerequisite of the morning-of getting ready ritual. Picture mimosas in hand, hair and make-up underway, and some seriously good photo opportunities of you and your bridesmaids in your pink Harrods pyjamas. Plus, they’ll make fitting pamper-night attire for years to come.

For the Hen Do: Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Champagne

The sound of popping Champagne is synonymous with happy bridal parties. Make sure yours is one to remember with a bottle of one of Dom Perignon’s finest. This 2015 vintage makes a great toast before dancing the night away on the pre-wedding getaway – or save it for the first anniversary, when you reminisce on the celebrations together.

A Scent To Suit All: YSL Beauty Le Vestiaire des Parfums Collector Set

Your maid of honour’s scented keepsake is sorted, but for the rest of the bridal party something more versatile is required. Perfume discovery sets like this one from YSL Beauty are an ideal choice, bringing together five of the brand’s iconic scents to appeal to everyone’s tastes.

For The Night Before: Slip Silk Contour Sleep Mask

One thing’s for sure: your bridesmaids need their beauty sleep before the big day. Crafted from the finest mulberry silk, Slip’s sleep masks protect the eyes whilst the clever contour design gives delicate lashes room to breathe, so lash lifts and extensions are safe. Gift your bridesmaids deep, restful sleep – no signs of rehearsal dinner merriment in sight.

For a Post-Ceremony Pick-Me-Up: Harrods Sea Salt Caramel Truffles

Few things are as indulgent as a rich, melt-in-the-mouth chocolate truffle – and these sea-salt-and-caramel ones certainly deliver. Gift a box to each of your bridesmaids for a sweet souvenir to savour. Especially good as post-festivity boost.

For A Stylist Keepsake: Symthson Flat Card Holder in Panama

Small leather goods like Smythson’s card holders are both stylish and practical, and thanks to the brand’s in-store personalisation service you can add a thoughtful detail like your wedding date or bridesmaids’ initials. The brand has supplied the Royal Family with leather goods for centuries, so you know that this gift comes with a very respectable stamp of approval.
