With the BM dresses ordered, it was time to move on to choosing the accessories for my beautiful ladies. Even though I toyed with the idea of blinging out the girls with coloured stones, in the end I decided that classic pearls were probably the way to go.
I was imagining long strands of pearls. Something that the girls could each wear in their own distinctive way. Something like this:
The other day I was leafing through a flier from Macy's, and noticed that their pearls were on sale. I took this as a sign, and went to the store to check out their selection.
Turns out, long strands of pearls like in the picture above are super expensive! If I want to achieve that look, we are going to have to go faux.
The trip wasn't a total failure though. They did have a great selection of traditional pearl sets on sale. I picked up two of these bad boys:
The set, including necklace, bracelet, and earrings, came to a total of $39.00. Considering the fact that these are real freshwater pearls, they were a total steal!
What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't model them for you, a la Price is Right?
I'm still in love with the idea of multiple pearl strands, but was thinking that this could be a nice gift even if the girls didn't wear them for the wedding. I know that neither of my maids owns a set of pearls, and this could be something that they will treasure forever.
Macy's sale ends on Sunday, so if you are looking for a cheap and classic gift for your BMs, or even something special for yourself, there is still time!
What are you planning on gifting your bridesmaids?
