Buying a special gift for the bride is a nice tradition, so this task should be taken seriously. The present should arrive to her place on the morning of the wedding while she is getting ready; so make sure that she receives it on time. Even though you are allowed to choose pretty much any gift you think she will love, tradition suggests that it should be a piece of jewellery she will wear on that day. It is usually a pearl necklace or a pair of diamond earrings, but any adornment that matches her wedding gown will do. You might need a little help from her mother or matron of honour who will be able to tell you what kind of detail would complement the dress perfectly. Additionally, you can send her roses or a chocolate box to make the present even more romantic.
You won’t make a mistake if you follow the traditional rules, but you can also be a little more creative and pick something other than jewellery. Make a list of the things she loves and let it guide you. Does she have a favourite perfume or a fashion brand? Is she passionate about music or film? Maybe she always wanted to have a pet? Why not delight her with a limited edition bottle of her favourite scent, a handbag from a label she loves, a DVD collection or a puppy with a ribbon around its neck? When choosing a gift, think about her and make it personal. She will appreciate your effort to find something that matches her unique taste.
To find the perfect gift for your bride, it is important to know her well and anticipate what kind of present would really make her happy. If you can’t think of anything she doesn’t already have, and you are not brave enough to go for jewellery or fashion accessories, your present can be a pleasurable experience as well. Treat her with a dinner in the most decadent restaurant, take her on a romantic trip or send her a spa voucher together with a lush rose bouquet.
