Bridesmaid Jewelry

FEATURE ARTICLE Bridesmaid Jewelry

Taking care of your best friends, gal pals, the most important girls in your life…your bridesmaids! When thinking of bridesmaid jewelry, it is important for the bride to communicate to her bridesmaids about the jewelry for the big day. One of the first questions is who is paying for the jewelry. Is the bride paying for the jewelry and gifting it to her girls, or are the bridesmaids paying for their jewelry? Both ways are common and acceptable, but communication is key to making the process seamless and enjoyable for everyone. Camelot, we have found that most of our brides tend to purchase the bridesmaid jewelry and use it as a gift that they give to their bridal party on the night of the wedding rehearsal. The second big question that pops up is what jewelry are the bridesmaids going to wear? There are typically three ways in which brides decide to decorate their wedding tribe for the big day:

All of the bridesmaids match The bride selects an assortment that each bridesmaid can choose from Each bridesmaid can choose whatever they want to wear

When choosing between your options, it is important to keep in mind the style of the bridesmaid dresses including how dressy or causal the dress may be, necklines, sleeves, and whether or not your bridesmaids all have pierced ears. At Camelot, our top selling line for bridal jewelry is Olive + Piper. One of our biggest comments from brides who choose this beautiful line is that they feel like their bridesmaids will be able to wear the jewelry again whether it be to work, other weddings, or

nights out on the town. Whatever style you are going for, make sure your bridesmaids feel beautiful and empowered for such a special day.
