A wedding day is such a special day for not only the couple themselves but also for all the close family involved. It is a day to celebrate love and togetherness for each other but also for the special people who are a part of your day…

Whether you are looking for the perfect gift for your mother of the bride or your mother is looking to get you a little something to celebrate your big day, we are here to help!

Our best advice when choosing a gift is to prioritise thoughtfulness over monetary value. A wedding day is so special already, all that is necessary is a little token to remember the special moments between a mother and daughter.

Here are some of our favourite ideas:

You can never go wrong with jewellery…

Maybe choose something for them to wear on the wedding day so that they think about all the lovely memories shared each time they wear it. Take a moment in the morning to yourselves to exchange gifts rather than rushing through things like this. You really need to take in every moment of the day, and stepping away together from the chaos of a wedding morning makes it all the more special.

Another classic is flowers…

What woman doesn’t love a beautiful spray of flowers! However, the impact of receiving a gift like this can be taken away in the hustle and bustle of a wedding morning so for that extra thoughtful touch maybe have them delivered to their house the morning after the wedding as a little thank you for all their help and support on that day. Not all gifts need to be given in public, sometimes it’s the personal touches like a handwritten note that make it more touching.

Personalised gifts…

Personalised jewellery, garters or handkerchiefs work well as gift ideas from mothers to daughters and vice versa. Maybe create something personalised with your maiden name for you and your mother to keep forever. This is also a thoughtful gift idea guaranteed to bring the tears!

Something thoughtful…

A great gift idea from a mother of the bride to their daughter is to organise something special for the day. Think disposable cameras for her guests, a surprise performer or even liaise with the venue and organise a surprise champagne tower! Gifting something extra special to add to their day will always be memorable.

Something to remember the day…

Unique ideas like having the bride’s floral bouquet made into a display piece, a newspaper from the wedding date or a photo frame ready to remember the moment make great gift ideas for both! These kinds of gifts are unexpected and unique to not only the couple themselves but also the parents of the bride and groom.

Why not go out of the box…

Who said that gifts have to be traditional – Some mother-and-daughter duos go rogue with their gift-giving ideas. Matching tattoos’ have even been gifted so there really is no rules and we say do what you want! Each mother and daughter relationship is different so you do what works for you!

There is no rule to say that gifts need to be exchanged either way, the day itself is special enough but you should do what feels right for you.

A gift should never be forced but come from the heart…That is what it’s all about!
