The Best Fashion Gifts For Brides-To-Be

As a newly-engaged fashion writer, I have switched my holiday wish list priorities this year. While in the past I would’ve wanted a new pair of fancy shoes or a luxury face mask, I’m now craving presents that will be part of my upcoming nuptials (hint hint). 

Part of that has to do with the fact that weddings are expensive. And while brides want a say in big purchases — like a gown or bachelorette dress — style-forward, nuptial-minded products will be a welcome surprise for all who are planning on walking down the aisle. These can vary from earrings to wear on one of the many occasions leading up to the wedding to a robe (or a bridal jersey!) to get ready in day-of. As a bonus, in addition to treating your soon-to-be-married friend in the moment, choose right and you may see the gift part of the big day. A beauty gift set could never. 

Ahead, fashionable gifts that a bride like me wouldn’t mind finding under the Christmas tree this year. 

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

For The Sporty Bride

For brides-to-be who love sports, this “wedding jersey,” from Australian brand Kyha Studios, gives the sporty staple a bridal twist.

The Bachelorette Must-Have

Heading somewhere warm for the bachelorette trip? A bucket hat is a more unexpected alternative to a “Bride” baseball hat or T-shirt.

The Bridal Scrunchie

Silk scrunchies are one of the most sought-after hair accessory trends of the year. So, why not give the soon-to-be-wed recipient a trendy accessory that’s both versatile and elegant?

Something Blue To Wear Forever

A “something blue” heart-shaped ring is a great gift option that a bride-to-be can wear now, on her wedding day, and beyond.

Tie It With A Bow

The many activities preceding a ceremony require a wardrobe of accessories and clothes. A fashion-forward, yet classic hair bow — also one of the year’s trendiest items — is a great way to relieve some of the stress around bridalwear.

For The Lipstick Lover Bride

For the bride who wants a chic way to carry their lipstick after hours, this pearl design is everything.

Just Band It

This band — that’s made to hold the new bling when working out or otherwise safe-keep the ring — can also double as a daily “something blue.”

Keep It On Lock

An engraved locket necklace is a sweet and personalized way for your friends to show off their loved one ahead of their nuptials. 

Catbird Dollhouse Locket Silver, $, available at Catbird

The Classic But Memorable Bridal Gift

Taylor Swift once said, “I want to wear his initial on a chain ’round my neck.” So, your Swiftie friend will probably want to do the same.

Must-Have For A Glam Session

Getting ready on a wedding day calls for a special kind of luxury, and a lace-trimmed robe is exactly the type of gift that merits this feeling.
