if you were a bridesmaid would you want to ..

get your own jewelry..??i think i may have posted something like this a while ago but i dont know what to do..every girl is different..i talked to one bm and asked her if she would want to do her own jewelry..and she was kind of silent..but i def would rather get them something nice instead of jewelry to wear for the wedding.especially since im not picky about the jewelry in pics..any suggestions on how to ask the rest of the girls if they want to get their own jewelry..

Maybe you could have a get together while doing invitations or shoe shopping... and discuss it with them then... or maybe you can talk top yur MOH (if your having one).

What about if you get them bracelets.. or something that they can also wear after the wedding?? I hope I helped...

I would prefer to have my own jewelery...it's what's going to set them apart from each other.....My girls are wearing the same dress in the same color, but their shoes, hair, makeup, and accessories will be different. I plan on getting them all Tiffany bracelets in their BM Bag, but it'll be silver, which won't match w/the dresses.

You can always get them each a different style of jewlery.

I have been a bridesmaid and have always preferred my own jewelry. Also, IMO, a gift of jewelry is really a gift to the bride not the BM. Also, if the BMs don't know that is there gift, sometimes they buy something on their own and then don't even get to wear it.
Just my opinion...

no one says you have to get them jewelry.....

so, get them what you want. if it were me i would prob throw it out there that they wont be getting jewelry so that they know to but accordingly......but there is NO reason for you to get that for them if thats not what you want to do.

I am having my bridesmaid decide what jewelry they want to wear with their dresses. They all have different tastes and styles.

maybe just talk about it in a casual conversation and see how they respond, do it separately of course.

I have no idea what to get my MOH or bridesmaid. Its just the 2 of them.

Last year my MOH got married and I was her MOH, she got me Rosary Beads, they were beautiful, I had just recently been baptised and didn't have any.

She wanted her gift to me to have meaning and wanted it to be something I'd have forever. Now I don't know what do for her.

Any suggestions?
