How to choose personalised bridesmaids jewellery that works after the

Under the warm summer afternoon or the moonlit stars, the bride’s boudoir is a fairy godmother’s playroom, wedding attire draped over the sofa, veils and bouquets tossed around, and your own circle of fairies, set to turn your wedding day into everything you hoped it would be.

And right in the middle of all the magic are your bridesmaids quietly fixing your veil for the 10th time, fixing the clasp of your bracelet with grace, soothing your nerves, and slipping you tasty morsels of food here and there. They are irreplaceable in every way.

Which is exactly why their jewellery deserves a moment of its own, something far more than a matching set picked in a hurry. Here at Flutterby, we (Sal and Lu) have put together a curated selection of customisable jewellery that is personal, meaningful and will hold a special place in their wardrobe long after the fairy tale ends.

Why personalised jewellery makes the perfect bridesmaid gift?

A gift that has been given some thought, chosen with care, with the person in mind, will forever be admired and treasured by them.

Personalised jewellery keeps all of that in mind; it becomes an ode to all the fond memories you have had together. And unlike a candle or a bottle of wine, it travels with them into their work days and special evenings out, long after the confetti has been swept away.

For all the bridesmaids who have poured their time, energy and heart into making your big day magical, personalised jewellery is a genuine way of expressing your gratitude.

Key factors to consider before choosing personalised jewellery for bridesmaids

Before you fall in love with the first piece you see, there are a few important things to consider. Snuggle with your favourite brew and let’s read through them.

Match the dress colour - The first thing to consider is the dress colour, and choosing the colour of the metal accordingly. For dresses that are warm-toned, such as coral, peach, warm reds and olives, gold jewellery would be the perfect fit. For cool-toned dresses in hues of blue, teal, and purple, silver and platinum are the perfect match.
Match the skin tone - Now, if you are still not quite sure if you have got the pairing right, here is a little trick. Start with the dress. Match the metal to your bridesmaid’s outfit first. If you find that it still isn’t sitting quite right, that is when the skin tone comes in. Warm-toned beauties should be matched with gold jewellery, and the cool-toned beauties should be paired with silver jewellery. Think of it as a reliable back-up guide.
Allergies and sensitivities - This is an important aspect to consider as your bridesmaid’s comfort matters the most. And especially if you are choosing mixed metals or embellishments, it is significant that their sensitivities to metals are noted.

What personalised jewellery should you consider getting?

There is a whole world of beautiful options when it comes to personalised bridesmaids jewellery in the UK. Here are some Flutterby favourites for you to explore.

Initial Necklaces - Initial necklaces are timeless and personal. A delicate chain bearing their initials in gold or silver is the kind of piece they reach for every day, regardless of the occasion. Our Initial Necklaces come in both silver and gold with customisable chain lengths, so that they nestle perfectly against the chest.

Birthstone jewellery - It is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. Your bridesmaids receive a pair set with their own birthstone, making every piece completely unique to the person wearing it. From the crimson hues of the garnet quartz to the calming lavender hues of the tanzanite quartz, we have every month’s birthstone to choose from.

Our Birthstone Huggie Earrings are fashioned in 18K gold vermeil over sterling silver and feature every month’s birthstone. For more charming choices, browse Flutterby’s birthstone collection, of charming pieces that’ll complement your everyday wardrobe long after the wedding bells have faded.

Charm Jewellery - Every bridesmaid has a little magic of their own, a vivid personality, too wonderfully unique to be captured by just any piece of jewellery. This is where charm jewellery steps in. It takes a little thought to get it right, but it is worth it. For the ones with a lively and spirited soul, our Gold Bee Huggie earrings, paired with the Honey Bee Gold Pendant Necklace, could be the perfect pick. And if your youngest bridesmaid happens to be a bright, joyful presence who is just figuring out her style, our pieces work beautifully as teenage jewellery as well, which will be treasured for years to come. Take a gentle wander through the rest of the collection to find the perfect piece for everyone in your bride squad.

Each piece in our collection is curated to be more personal, versatile and genuinely beautiful. So take your time and let yourself enjoy the choosing, for you have many wonderful options right here at Flutterby.
