Should You Let Your Bridesmaids Wear Their Own Jewelry to Your Wedding?
Many brides and grooms debate whether they should give their bridal party the freedom to make style choices.
Some think it's best to dictate every aspect of their look, while others choose to be more lax with their fashion rules.
Everyone has their own taste and style, so if you want your girls to look uniform, choose jewelry for them.
Do your bridesmaids already have excellent taste? Or would you prefer to give them the freedom to style their own look? Then let them make their own accessory decisions.
That said, it’s a good idea to lay some ground rules early on.
Give a little guidance on the glitz factor you want, the metallic finish you prefer (silver, yellow gold, or rose gold), or the overarching vibe you’re going for.
And remember:
Even if your wedding party is chock-full of fashionistas and style icons, giving jewelry gifts is the perfect way to ensure everyone’s looks align with your wedding-day vision.

Tips for Bridesmaids Choosing Their Own Jewelry

Bridesmaids typically pay for dresses, shoes, bridal shower gifts, and bachelorette party festivities.
Giving them jewelry as a bridesmaid gift eliminates an added wedding party expense. It also ensures your girls look exactly how you want on the big day.
Depending on the style and vibe of your wedding, you might choose:
- • A delicate bridesmaid necklace
- • Bridesmaid earrings that make a big, bold statement
- • A bridesmaid bracelet that offers a hint of sparkle and shine
Necklaces are perfect if your girls are wearing V-necklines or strapless dresses. A simple gold necklace, a solitaire pendant necklace, or a necklace set will perfectly complement their wedding day look!
For bridesmaids wearing high necklines or halter dresses, a necklace is unnecessary. Instead, consider giving them a delicate pearl bracelet or a pair of pretty earrings.
Choose Jewelry Based on the Bride’s Style
Bridesmaid jewelry doesn’t need to match the bride’s jewelry. But they should complement each other.
For example, if the bride wears a pearl and diamond necklace, the bridesmaids will look stunning in a simple strand of pearls. If the bride wears dangling diamond earrings, the bridesmaids will look amazing in sparkling diamond studs.
No matter what jewelry you choose, make sure it complements the bride’s jewelry without being too matchy-matchy.
The bride should ALWAYS stand out!
Choose Jewelry Based on the Formality of Your Wedding
Keep the formality and theme of your wedding in mind when choosing bridesmaid jewelry gifts.
For a boho or rustic wedding, keep your jewelry simple and understated.
Are you getting married on the beach or in a barn? A simple pair of dangle earrings or a bridesmaid jewelry set with a dainty bracelet and necklace may be all you need.
For a lavish, glamorous black-tie affair at a super-fancy venue, opt for diamonds, crystals, or rhinestones that shimmer and shine!
For a traditional, formal wedding, stick with classic jewelry. Diamond stud earrings or freshwater pearl necklaces are always a great choice.
Bridesmaids Don’t Have to Wear the Same Jewelry

If you decide to gift your bridesmaids with jewelry for the wedding day, don’t feel obligated to give everyone the same gift.
It’s perfectly fine to mix it up and give each person a different piece of jewelry. If your girls are wearing mixed-and-matched bridesmaid dresses, giving them different jewelry is a great way to go.
Not only will it make your gifts more personal, but it’ll also give you the freedom to pair a particular piece of jewelry with each dress.
