A bridesmaid devotes her time to ensuring the bride looks beautiful on her wedding day, so she deserves pampering in the same way. Offering a bridesmaid jewelry gift helps her to look beautiful on the big day, as well as shows appreciation for all she has done. There is no need to spend a ton of money on the bridesmaid jewelry gift. When selecting jewelry for the bridesmaid, brides should match sets to the dress color and neckline, personalize the sets, include a bag, and consider hair accessories.

It is a good idea to remember to keep it simple when buying jewelry sets for the bridesmaid or any of the bridal party. Extravagant or large jewelry pieces tend to be a distraction in photographs. Balance out bare skin and jewelry for amazing wedding photos.

 When selecting bridesmaid jewelry, the color of the dress is one of the most important factors to consider. If the dress is light pink, darker pink bridesmaid jewelry helps to bring out the color and offer some flare to the gown. If the dress is a darker color, lighter colored jewelry of the same color makes a great option. Dresses that are pale or very light-colored pair great with pearl bridesmaid jewelry sets, faux diamonds, or gold metal jewelry.

In addition to matching the bridesmaid jewelry to the color of their dresses, it is a good idea to match the jewelry to the bridal jewelry worn by the bride as well. If the bride is wearing sterling silver, the bridal party needs to avoid wearing gold jewelry. If the bride is wearing a pearl necklace, the bridal party should match the bride with pearl earrings, but not necessarily the same necklace.

A jewelry bag or case is a great way to present the bridesmaid jewelry set. If the jewelry does not come monogrammed, or personalized, consider adding the personalization to the case or bag. Presenting bridal gifts inside of a wedding bag that displays the couple's name and the wedding date is a traditional practice, so it works well for all of the bridal party gifts.
