    I've decided to pay for my lovely ladies to have their hair done the day of the wedding as their primary gift for putting up with me, but I'd also like them to have something to unwrap as well. I've been stalking etsy.com and looking for anything that stands out as nice enough (and yet afforable enough) for everyone and I found these. What does everyone think? Are they too much? (My wedding colors are peach, sage green, and off white). What you would think if you got these as a BM gift?

    I think they're pretty.  But to be perfectly honest, I'm always more of a fan of BM gifts that are personal to each BM.  Maybe you could do the earrings and something personal for each BM?  For example, for my girls (December wedding), I know that one of them loves gourmet coffee and the other loves hot chocolate.  So I got them each monogrammed thermal carafes, one with Williams-Sonoma's hot chocolate mix and one with Illy coffee beans, in addition to earrings that I gave them.

    That's a great idea--i'd love to do something more personal as well. Maybe I can get them each a unique piece of jewlery even that would best suit each of their tastes.

    I think they're fine but really not to everyone's taste.  If you're expecting the girls to wear them at the wedding that's one thing.  But I wouldn't really expect that they would all rewear them afterwards.

    I'm personally not a fan of BM gifts that are really just for the wedding.  That's more a gift to yourself you know.  If you truly want to thank them, get them something that they will like that's not necessarily wedding related.
