Is it appropriate for bridesmaids to get the bride diamond jewelry as a wedding gift?
nothingtohide asked:
A mutual friend is getting married in August, another friend (we’re both bridesmaids) wants to get her a diamond bracelet to wear on her day. I suggested asking the groom and the parents to make sure such a gift would be okay. Am I wrong?

Check with her mother to ensure it will match the dress and jewelry she’s already picked out.
It’s a very lovely gift. The bride is lucky to have friends like you!

Typically it is appropriate to buy the bride jewelry that has pearls or even a sterling silver dangle bracelet. Popular gifts from the bridesmaid to the bride are loungewear, lingerie, spa treatments, wedding figurines or something personalized. Diamonds are better left to the groom.

I think that sounds thoughtful of you.

I agree with you… diamonds are the purview of the family and hubby-to-be on the wedding day. You guys should stick to items from her registry and pitch in for a more expensive item.
Personally, I think it is inappropriate for bridesmaids to ignore her list (what she actually WANTS) and get jewelry, which is a personal item that should begiven by the fam.

A wedding gift should be for both the bride and the groom.

To be safe, don’t buy her diamond jewelry.
