By Shiran Cohen on Jul 27, 2009 in Jewelry
Gifts for the maid of honor and the bridesmaids are always traditional and also very personal. Choosing to give each member of the wedding party a charm bracelet is a great opportunity to thank them for helping you celebrate your wedding day while also giving them a truly one of a kind gift.
Selecting the perfect style of charm bracelet for each member of the wedding party depends on the style of the wedding as well as the individual person?s likes and dislikes. Flat curb style links or more ornate triple or double types of bracelets are all appropriate as gifts.
A charm bracelet can be made of several different types of metals or even combinations. Sterling silver, gold or platinum are the most common forms of bracelets and each has their own beauty. Silver and platinum charm bracelets are ideally suited to silver charms, while gold charms look great on gold bracelets.
Dual-tone metal bracelets featuring yellow and white gold or yellow gold and silver are both practical as well as beautiful. With two metals in the charm bracelet it is possible to mix and match gold and silver charms, making these bracelets very versatile in the wedding and afterwards.
Consider how may charms you wish each person to have on their own individual charm bracelet. A great idea is to pick one central charm for each bracelet that signifies the wedding. This could be a traditional wedding symbol such as champagne bottles or glasses, wedding bells or even a miniature charm of a church.
Silhouettes or three dimensional styles of figurines to represent the bride and groom are always a great addition to a wedding charm bracelet. Shapes for the silhouette style charms can be teardrop or round, both which can be engraved with information about the couple or the wedding date.
Moving from the couple?s charm that will be each charm bracelet, the bride and groom can then pick a few charms that signify their relationship with the bridesmaids and the maid of honor. These can be different for each girl or woman, making it a truly unique gift. A few charms will look very dazzling and beautiful while one two charms looks elegant and classic.
Although a charm bracelet isn?t a traditional gift for brides to give it is a very good idea. These gifts are so unique and so original that the wedding party will know you took the time to get just the perfect gift for them. Keep in mind that you can also continue to add to the charm bracelet, making it a wonderful starting point for developing a charm collection.
