Chic Gifts Ideas for Your Bridesmaid Proposal Box
Get your whole bridal party to say "I do" with these pretty little things.
The bride-to-be isn’t the only one saying "I do" this wedding season. Bridesmaids, with their many ceremonial duties, are in for a commitment of their own. Full of little token gifts, a bridesmaid box is a thoughtful pre-wedding gesture to appreciate your bridal party.
Bridesmaid box items should reflect yourself as much as they should the spirit of the wedding. If you’re planning a destination wedding to Cabo, for example, then you might include a useful item for the upcoming voyage, like a pair of sunglasses. If your style is boho chic and you’re getting married in a rose garden, then your bridesmaid box might include a rosette headband. Most importantly though, ensure gift box items are things your party will genuinely enjoy—self-care products are never a bad choice. Gift box items can range from cheeky to chic, but each should charm and delight.
Weddings are complicated enough—let L’OFFICIEL check a box off your to-do list with our curated assortment of bridesmaid box gifts.
