A Bridesmaid Charm Bracelet

Whenever a girl or a woman is in a wedding party as a maid of honor or a bridesmaid there is always an expectation that the bride will present a small gift to express her appreciation. While necklaces and bracelets are popular, one option that isnt often considered is giving a charm bracelet. A charm bracelet can be personalized to represent both the bridesmaid as well as the actual wedding day.

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.

Different types of metals can be used in making charms and charm bracelets. Silver, gold and platinum are the most common metals, however there are other options. Silver and platinum make very brilliant and shiny charms and a striking charm bracelet. Gold is softer and richer and gold charms are commonly worn on gold charm bracelets.

It is also possible to use a silver and gold bracelet with contrasting links. With these types of bracelets either silver or gold charms can be added, or even charms of both metals will work well. The dual metal is also a good option depending on the other jewelry that the women and girls will be wearing during the wedding.

Deciding how many charms to put on the charm bracelet is the next step. It is a great idea to start each member of the wedding party off with a charm that represents your special day. This could include a church charm, wedding bells, champagne bucket and bottle, as photo frame charm or even a charm with the initials of the couple and the date of the wedding.

One very popular type of charm that makes a terrific addition to any wedding charm bracelet is a miniature representation of a bride and groom. These can be engraved on a disk shaped charm or on a teardrop shape, or they can be more like the figurines found on top of the wedding cake.

Adding a few other charms is a great opportunity to highlight their special friendship or relationship with the happy couple. Finding a charm for the charm bracelet that really shows you know the bridesmaid or maid of honor will be much appreciated. Deciding how many charms to add is really up to you but at least two or three personal charms makes the bracelet look complete.

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.
