Types of Bracelets for Bridesmaids
To appreciate the variety of options, consider photos of bridesmaid bracelets and possible materials for creating them.
One of the most common options is bracelets made from fresh flowers. These bracelets are usually made from the same flowers as the bride's bouquet.
They look impressive and help maintain a unified style of celebration. Putting a bracelet made of fresh flowers on your hand means emphasizing the unity of the bride and her friends.
Bracelets made of polymer clay come in a variety of shapes and colors. But working with polymer clay requires special skills, so if you want to give preference to this material, you should start getting acquainted with it in advance.
Bracelets made of rhinestones and beads will fit perfectly into the wedding theme due to the variety of shades and shapes. They will perfectly complement your girlfriends' outfit. The ability to choose beads of any color will allow you to make bracelets suitable for any wedding theme.
Ribbon bracelets are suitable for many wedding styles. Ribbons are a very affordable and easy-to-work material, so using them is a good solution when creating bracelets for bridesmaids.
An alternative to fresh flowers can be artificial flowers made from a variety of materials: beads, ribbons, fabric, etc. they can be either an exact copy of real flowers or have no natural analogues.
Therefore, the appearance of bracelets is as diverse as your imagination allows.

Original carrot
A wedding organized with an emphasis on carrot color looks very unusual. Long transformable bridesmaid dresses, the appearance of which can be easily changed by changing the strap or tying it on a belt, should ideally suit the different body types of the bridesmaids. This fairly universal color suits girls with different skin types and hair colors. The looks of the witnesses are complemented by white lace bracelets with carrot-colored gerberas. All this emphasizes the general style of the wedding, which can be seen in the images of the newlyweds.
Bottomless sea
Bridesmaids' dresses the color of the blue bottomless ocean, illuminated by the bright rays of the summer sun, can turn a wedding into the most elegant celebration. Ideally selected outfits, taking into account the characteristics of such different figures and taste preferences of the girlfriends, make each of them unique, elegant, and magnificent. So different and beautiful, they do not overshadow the bride at all; on the contrary, they subtly emphasize her light and delicate image. An important role in this is played by the bridesmaids’ bracelets, made from flowers identical to those that form the basis of the bride’s bouquet. Together they create the illusion of gentle mermaids emerging from the depths of the ocean to fill this world with happiness.
Shining emerald
Emerald color is so self-sufficient that it does not need any bright accessories. A bracelet made of small white flowers, such as daisies or lilies of the valley, would be very appropriate. You can also complement the look with a decoration made from a contrasting burgundy peony bud. If the bride has many friends and not everyone likes such a bright style, they will look very original in dresses of emerald and calm beige colors. Such an army of witnesses will certainly not allow the bride to be kidnapped from the wedding and will turn the celebration into a noisy, cheerful celebration.
Noble Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the color of young wine. This deep tone emphasizes the natural beauty of young girls, adding charm and sophistication to their image. A dress of this color can be easily complemented with large gold accessories, such as a belt, brooch or bracelet. A thin bridesmaid bracelet with one large flower made of transparent ribbon and complemented with several thin ribbons looks very elegant.
Therefore, everything in her image, including jewelry, should be aimed at solving this problem. That is why the bracelet plays such an important role in the image of the witness and in the image of the bride herself.

What does it take to create bridesmaid bracelets?
Making beautiful bracelets for bridesmaids with your own hands is not difficult. In most cases, you will not need special skills or a lot of time for this.
Let's look at several ways to make such bracelets
Interesting video: bracelet with a pink flower
On the Internet you can find many videos with master classes that also describe in detail and step-by-step the making of wedding decorations.
For example, this video describes the process of creating a headband for bridesmaids from satin ribbons with a beautiful flower:
You will need:
- a meter of pink satin ribbon 2.5 centimeters wide;
- several more satin ribbons of different shades, but similar colors, different widths;
- one large pink bead;
- lighter;
- needle and thread;
- 30 centimeters of white openwork ribbon.
Is everything in stock? Then let's get to work:
- To begin, process the edges of the cut tape over the fire of a lighter. Then zigzag along the entire length of the tape.
- Pull the thread and gather the ribbon into an accordion shape.
- Gather the thread onto one edge of the resulting flower petals without breaking it. You should get a blank that resembles a ring.
- Roll the ribbon several times to make a flower. It must be double-layered.
- Sew a bead into the center of the flower and prepare openwork ribbons.
- Sew a bead with white thread to the bottom of the flower.
- Take any ribbon suitable for the bracelet, for example organza. 30-40 centimeters of such tape should be enough.
- Sew several ribbons together and sew them to the main ribbon. The bandage is ready!
Interesting! The bracelet can be beautifully decorated with flowers. We wrote more about this option in this article.
Bracelet made of beads and ribbons
To make such a bracelet you will need:
- Satin ribbon about one and a half centimeters wide;
- Beads;
- A lighter or other small fire source.
You should start making a bracelet by treating one end of the ribbon with fire. Then we tie a knot in the ribbon and put on the beads, tying knots after each of them.
Having finished stringing the beads, you need to treat the second end of the ribbon with fire. The bracelet is ready. All that remains is to iron the ribbon and tie it on the hand of its new owner.
Option with chiffon flower
Here, for example, is how you can make a headband on an openwork ribbon with an artificial chiffon flower:
- To begin, make an oval petal template from cardboard or thick paper and carefully cut it out with scissors.
- Then take a piece of chiffon measuring approximately 20 by 50 cm, attach a pattern to it and cut out thirty-three petals along the contour.
- The edges of each resulting petal must be melted over the flame of a candle or lighter so that the fabric does not fray.
- Give each petal a cone shape. To do this, you need to fold the petal and bring it to the fire with the sharp end, and then press the edges with your fingers as quickly as possible. This must be done with all the petals from the workpiece.
- Cut out the base for the flower from cardboard - a circle with a diameter of three to four centimeters.
- Carefully glue eight petals to the cardboard circle.
- Continue gluing the next petals, decreasing one in each layer. That is, there will be seven petals in the second layer, six in the third, and so on.
- Make a flower core. To do this, you need to take a circle of silk or chiffon with a diameter of four centimeters, stitch it with thread along the edges, put scraps of fabric or cotton wool in the center and tighten the thread. You will get a fabric ball.
- This ball needs to be covered with rhinestones or small beads glued on. Then glue it into the center of the made flower.
- Take a beautiful lace ribbon, cut 35-40 centimeters so that you can wrap it around your wrist and tie a beautiful bow. Carefully sew or glue the flower to the ribbon. The bandage is ready!
