Here are some beautiful gifts for your bridesmaids

These are lovely.

Welcome to The Bride Files – covering all things related to weddings as Laura prepares for her big day.

Some of the most important people at your wedding are your bridesmaids. They plan your hen party, are on hand for any advice in the run-up to the big day and are generally your right-hand women for a few months.

Not to mention on the actual day when they keep you calm in the morning, help you with your dress and are on hand throughout the day to fix you whenever you need it.

Sometimes it’s hard to show your appreciation when you’re in the middle of organising one of the biggest days of your life so a small token as a gift on the morning of the wedding goes a long way.

You don’t have to spend too much money, it’s the thought that counts.

While you will probably have already bought the girls their bridesmaid dresses, it’s nice to surprise them with something to wear on the morning of the wedding when you’re getting ready.

WowWee.ie, an Irish company, have a huge range of gorgeous robes for just the occasion.

After 15 years in business and a huge amount of testimonials, you are in good hands. Plus they design their own range of personalised bridal robes and bridal accessories so you have lots to choose from.

You get to choose between what texture you want and what design, with lots of different colour schemes. All the robes can be personalised making them that extra bit special.

Another nice idea for the morning of the wedding is to get a personalised hanger for the dresses or the robes.

Wedding Decor by Madeleine is a small husband and wife run Irish business which offers a lovely range of hangers for your bridal party.
They also have plenty of quirky and personalised handmade crafts that bring a special touch to your wedding.
Together with bride and groom they develop a theme, get busy creating and make your day individual and unique.

If it’s more of a keepsake you’re after then the folks over at Just A Thought have got you covered.

They have a wide range of personalised gifts that are perfect for your bridesmaids. They range from photo frames, to trinket boxes, hip flasks, mugs, champagne holders and mirrors.

Another idea for your bridesmaids is to give them perfume. You don’t have to blow the budget either because these days there are so many of the mini varieties to choose from.

The beauty of the mini bottles is that you can choose different scents to suit the individuals in your bridal party, and the price of one set is generally the same price as a normal bottle of perfume so it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

A great place to pick up some of these is the airport. They’re always competitive on price and you can order online before you fly and collect on the way home through their Click and Collect service.

It might not be likely that you’ll be travelling before your wedding but it’s a handy option if you just happen to travel abroad.

Calvin Klein Miniature Coffret Set or the Armani Women’s Fragrances Miniature Set are both available from The Loop and have a lovely selection of smells.

Newbridge Silverware offer a lovely range of products that you can get engraved. From pens, to jewellery boxes and keyrings.

Also included in the collection are compact mirrors which you can get engraved for your bridesmaids. Not only will they serve as a reminder of your special day but these keepsakes are also very handy.

They come in a plain version and also with a bow.
