You have the dress, the list of guests, the flowers, the rings, and — oh yeah — the man.  You are well on your way to wedded bliss.  But there is one tiny little detail that you haven’t quite figured out.  What on earth do you give to the gals who have been behind you every step of the way?  Your beloved bridal party?  You want to give them something classy, something sincere, and also something that stays within your budget (as if that’s really going to happen!)  Read on for five fantastic gift ideas for the ladies in your life…

Pearl stud earrings are a timeless and classic gift to give to your bridesmaids.  These earrings can be worn at the wedding, but are the one piece of jewelry that can be worn for absolutely any occasion.  Also, depending on the size and variety of pearl, while taking into consideration the material that the studs and posts are made of, pearl stud earrings can be very affordable.  These earrings range in price from $ 25 for your average cultured freshwater pearl set in sterling silver, all the way up to $ 400 for South Sea Pearls set in 14 Karat gold.  You can pick and chose which type of pearl and setting best fits your price range.
If any of your bridesmaids still don’t have their ears pierced, a simple pearl pendant would also do the trick.  A pearl drop pendant set on a sterling silver chain would cost approximately $ 25-$ 35.  Depending on your budget, you could combine the pearl stud earrings and the pearl drop pendant together.  The best part about pearls is that they are guaranteed to match the color of your bridesmaids dresses, and all your bridesmaids will look uniform, yet classy!
A sterling silver pendant is also the type of gift that works perfectly for this type of occasion.  If you want to personalize for each of your bridesmaids, many jewelry retailers offer unique charm pendants that would suit your bridesmaids individual personalities.  A sterling silver pendant on a 16″ or 18″ shouldn’t run more than $ 35.
A personalized ring in sterling silver is also a fantastic gift to give your bridesladies.  A simple sterling silver band with a special word engraved on costs a mere $ 30, and is something your girls will cherish forever.  Engraved rings can be purchased with words such as “love”, “peace” or “faith”.
No one can deny the fact that all girls absolutely adore Tiffany & Co. jewelry, but generally true Tiffany Jewelry is well beyond the price range of the average bride.  Therefore, alternative options are available to you!  Tiffany Style Jewelry, or Tiffany Inspired Jewelry can be found at many online jewelry retailers for up to 1/4 the price of original Tiffany pieces.  Typically, these inspired pieces are made of the exact same materials (.925 sterling silver with rhodium-plating), but cost a fraction of the price.  Classic designs such as the open heart pendant, or the starfish pendant would make perfect bridal party gifts.
