The best gifts are those that are purposeful AND pretty – bridesmaids’ gifts included. You want your ladies to remember this special time fondly and thank them properly, and when you say “I do” in the winter, it’s the perfect opportunity to go completely cozy and chic. Royal Scout and Co. is here sharing their picks for the best snowy season gifts out there!
● Keep their freshly manicured hands toasty warm and stylishly sleek in a pair of fleece-lined leather gloves in a warm neutral tan, brown, or nude color. These display beautifully in a beribboned, white flat box with perhaps some vintage linens as a bed for them to nestle in – truly classy!
● Gift each bridesmaid one of these stunningly gorgeous faux fur neck wraps for the wedding ceremony that will add a touch of winter drama to your look – and don’t forget your own luxe wrap as well! These will sure to be on rotation as an everyday accessory for them to pair with jeans and simple tops all winter long!
● Tuck a beautiful winter classic reading book (such as Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” C. S. Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” Wilder’s “The Long Winter,” London’s “The Call of the Wild,” or Guterson’s “Snow Falling on Cedars”) into a rustic wood crate with a beautiful plaid full blanket to snuggle under for some good relaxation time post-wedding week. Throw in a half dozen homemade cookies in a pretty tin and they’ll be all set!
● Nothing feels like winter better than a pair of warm flannel pajamas. Gift each bridesmaid a monogrammed set of cozy jammies along with a pair of matching slippers for their danced-the-night-away feet the next morning! They’ll appreciate the gift all the more as winter rolls on.
● This gift will keep your bridesmaids close to the fire as they enjoy a melting, toasted s’more from the s’mores set you just presented them! Wrapped in its own olive-canvas tote, sporting a buffalo head button-closure and birch-wrapped handles – what’s not to love?
● Keep things simple with a silver monogrammed Christmas bell ornament they can add to their collection – monogram either their name or the date of your wedding with a special “thank you” written specifically for them.
● Delicate and unique, we love gold woodland necklaces with a simple pine cone pendant – absolutely fresh and modern. This will be something they’ll pair often with their cozy winter cardigans and jeans later this year.
● Traditional is always on point – our point? Go with a classic red Pottery Barn stocking full of your favorite pampering beauty products for them to enjoy, or you could also fill each stocking with a classic chick flick or winter-themed movie and a bag of popcorn – possibilities are endless for this one!
● We loved the thought of gifting your girlfriends a beautiful lantern and pillar candle set that they can add to their front porch winter decor or to a tablescape for their entry or dining table… so pretty if you fill them with lights, red berries and birch wood!
● Add some wintery wedding style to your ceremony by gifting your bridesmaids with handsomely green and white Christmas wreaths full of that lovely pine-scent we love! Replace these stunning wreaths for their bouquets and your guests will love the touch of holiday you brought to your event… and the ladies can hang these on their doors for the rest of the year!
