Wedding bells are ringing! While the wedding is first and foremost about the bride and groom, it’s also about celebrating with the people who have been most impactful in your lives. Near the top of the list is the bridal party - the women who have been with the bride through thick and thin to support and love her. It’s a big honor to be asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend or relative’s wedding - but it’s also a big responsibility. Bridesmaids typically help prepare for the wedding, spending hours and hours and hundreds of dollars on events leading up to the wedding, as well as their own dress, shoes, hair, and makeup on the big day. Naturally, the bride should want to show gratitude to her bridal party.

Here are a few ways to show your bridal party you appreciate them using preserved roses.

Ask In A Memorable Way

Being asked to be part of a bridal party by a family member or dear friend is exciting - and most women look forward to the opportunity to celebrate with their loved one in a special way. You can make this request even more special by presenting a gift to your bridesmaids when you first ask them to be in your wedding!

Preserved roses from our Small Round Collection are a simple and beautiful token to show your bridesmaids you would be honored to have them by your side as you exchange vows. If you have your wedding colors chosen, you can customize the preserved roses to match, or give each bridesmaid a flower of her favorite color. Whatever you choose, your bridesmaids will appreciate this gesture and the enjoy the preserved roses that last a year.

Thank You At The Bachelorette Party

One of the biggest tasks that generally falls to the bridesmaids in modern weddings is throwing the bride-to-be a bachelorette party. Most bridal parties spend many hours orchestrating the activities of the event, in addition to providing the funds for the celebration, which can cost hundreds of dollars.

As a token of gratitude, you can surprise and delight your bridesmaids the day of your bachelorette party with a special thank-you gift. Though etiquette does not require these gifts, after the toils of planning the perfect bachelorette party, rest assured they’ll be appreciated! A floral arrangement from our Small Square Collection is chic and modern, and small enough to travel with the bridesmaids, if necessary, through the events of the bachelorette party.

Bridal Party Gifts

The big day is quickly approaching! All eyes will be on the bride at the wedding, but a lot has gone on behind the scenes to make it happen. On the wedding day, bridesmaids’ final duties are to serve the blushing bride, keeping her hair pinned up and makeup on point, on top of making sure she is emotionally supported.

As a final thank you for all of their support, it is traditional for the bride and groom to give bridal party gifts. Preserved arrangements from our Medium Round or Large Round Collections make incredible (and versatile!) bridal party gifts. Give each bridesmaid an arrangement to match your wedding colors, and they can double as the bridal party bouquets that your bridesmaids walk down the aisle with! They also make gorgeous displays at the head table at the reception. Plus, unlike many bridesmaids gifts which get tossed aside and never used again, your bridesmaids can use these bouquets to brighten their homes for up to a year after your wedding!
