They’ve stood by your side for years, listened to your wedding planning woes, attended appointments with suppliers and organised a killer hen’s party for you, so when it comes to the wedding day, it’s important to show your bridesmaids how much you appreciate them with a gift.
It can be hard to pick a gift that you know they’ll love AND meets your budget (so, no to the Louboutins then…), but we’ve browsed countless boutiques and shops to find nine bridal party gifts that are perfect for a summer wedding (and they’re guaranteed to make even the fussiest bridesmaid squeal in delight)!
1. Rose Jewel treasures from dusk
For the first time ever, dusk has partnered with crystals from Swarovski® to release a limited edition collection featuring a unique and exclusive shape in a soft pink hue. The Rose Jewel collection includes a range of candles, holders, mood reeds and an exclusive cake platter and serving set and makes the perfect bridal party gift for the bridesmaid who has everything!
Pricey? These gorgeous creations start from $49.99
2. Spa Day
What girl can resist a pamper day at the spa? Whether your bridesmaid prefers a mani/pedi, facial or massage, a day spa voucher will keep her glowing from the inside, out!
Pricey? Spa vouchers can range upwards of $50
3. Celeb-Style Bling
Jewellery is a perfect gift for your bridesmaids, as not only can they wear it on the wedding day, but they’ll get endless use out of it with all the summer parties coming up! One of our faves are these pieces from Balyck which are bold enough to be a statement addition to any outfit, but with a craftsmanship and aesthetic that is timeless.
4. Contour On-Fleek
If your ‘maids know the difference between contour and strobing, then this palette is a must-buy. The queen of YouTube makeup tutorials, Chloe Morello joined forces with Revlon to create a Sculpt & Highlight Contour Kit that suits all skin tones (and you might want to buy an extra for yourself)!
5. DIY
If you budget is tight, don’t stress! There’s plenty of exciting DIY projects you can spoil your bridesmaids with. From cute hairclips to vintage candles, the sky’s the limit!
Pricey? As much (or little) as you want!

6. Raw Treats
What girl could possibly saw no to guilt-free chocolate that’s as good for you as it is tasty? These Pana Chocolate large hampers are a perfect gift for a summer bridesmaid – and we promise it won’t ruin any bikini bodies in the process.
7. HYPOXI
If you know your bridesmaids are looking to get into shape before the wedding, a group HYPOXI membership is a must! HYPOXI is a low-impact exercise method that is up to 3 x more effective at burning stubborn fat than traditional exercise, meaning they’ll be fitting into their dresses in no time (because doesn’t everyone order their gown a size smaller in the hope they’ll lose weight?).
8. Sunglasses
Not only will the sunglasses come in handy on the wedding day (goodbye glare), but these rose gold sunnies from Hawkers are definitely going to get used again and again by the bridal party!
Pricey? The sunnies come in at $59
9. Luxe Luggage
Summer is the time of year when we all pack our bags and look to head off somewhere exotic and whether it’s just for the weekend, or it’s a month-long stint, having gorgeous, unique luggage like this Ted Baker medium suitcase is a luxury that all of your bridesmaids will appreciate!
Pricey? $599
