What are bridesmaid earrings?

Bridesmaid earrings are simply earrings your bridesmaid wear on your wedding day. To note, when shopping for wedding accessories, you’ll want to consider how the items will look with the rest of your bridesmaids’ ensemble, as well as the overall aesthetic of your celebration in general.

Are bridesmaid earrings expensive?

Bridesmaid earrings range in price, but depending on your budget and style, there’s no right or wrong amount you should/shouldn’t spend. Some brides choose to gift their bridesmaids earrings as a “thank you” for standing by their side, while others choose to simply let their maids wear something they already own.

Who buys bridesmaids’ earrings?

If you’re asking your bridesmaids to wear a specific style of earring or want everyone to match, it’s a good idea to purchase the pairs yourself since adding in extra accessories will increase day-of costs. That said, if you don’t mind what accessories your bridesmaids wear (or you’re fine with something general), you can get away with not buying new jewelry for all your friends.
