Bridal Bracelet - 3 rows of pearls and sparkling diamante crystals

Yesterday I posted this picture of the Courtney bracelet to my facebook page and was inundated with likes, comments and questions so I thought I'd share it with you too.

It's one of my favourite bracelets, a definite show stopper.  To finish of the design is a pretty heart shape clasp.

This bridal bracelet is shown here in white Swarovski crystal pearls but is available in gorgeous ivory. Since I've created it myself it can also be changed to any of the Swarovski shades that you wish, just ask.

Summer Wedding Accessories for Brides

Summer wedding Accessories for Brides are a pleasure to look for and use, simply because summer is the greatest time of the year to have a wedding. There are so many locations open to having a wedding, along with multiple themes to pick when designing your wedding. The number one pick for a location is the beach or a tropical setting like Hawaii. Maybe you see yourself getting married surrounded by woods or wildlife. Where your wedding is located will play a big part in what your bridal accessories will be like. Look online to find out what is being made available to you depending on what theme or location you decide to go with. 

If it is a garden themed wedding, pick bridal accessories that go with that them, from your shoes and dress, to your flowers, headpiece and decorations. Even with a garden setting, you'll still be choosing a bouquet. The bouquet can go with the flowers that are on display in the garden. Roses and lilies are popular choices for floral settings, so think about having silk versions of these flowers in baskets that rest in even rows up and down the main aisle. Or, go unique and find another summer flower that can be just as stunning.

Some suggestions for a summer wedding setting are rose petals that are scented and placed in a box in the shape of a heart, satin pillows in the shape of lilies, or a stopper for a bottle that is lily shaped. The only limitation to what is possible are your imagination. Any theme can fit any location you choose.

When shopping for bridal accessories, think about your invitations as well, so that they can beautifully match the decor. These can be found either at your local card shop, or online. Another possibilities with these is to get them custom made, or hand made by you. With the internet you can find lots of "do-it-yourself" wedding invitation templates. There are also software packages available that will walk you through the process of making your own invitations.

Online is also the easy way to locate the shoes, wedding jewellery, hair accessories and even the dress that will fit your summer wedding theme. Just browsing the different sites will give you ideas for your own wedding. More and more these days the traditional wedding is out and the casual or themed wedding is in. It isn't necessary to break the bank to pay for an extravagant wedding in order for it to be a memorable success. A great wedding just takes time to plan and organize right. Start your purchases early on, and take your time to get all the details just right.

Buying a Bridal Tiara

In the UK we only tend to wear tiaras for weddings, school proms aren't common place like they are in the US, so wearing a tiara is likely to be a once in a life time experience.

You should only purchase your tiara once you have your bridal gown sorted, you can buy it from the same bridal shop as your dress but if you’re looking to save money you should buy it online. This is simply because your wedding tiara should complete your outfit, it shouldn't be the starting point for it.
To compliment your bridal outfit your tiara shouldn’t over power your wedding dress or your gorgeous face. You will need to also take into consideration any wedding jewelry or other hair accessories such as bridal hair pins you are planning to wear.

Your bridal tiara should compliment your face shape and bridal hair style so it enhances your natural beauty. If you choose a wedding tiara which isn’t right for you, then you might be the focus of attention for the wrong reasons and you’ll look back on your wedding photos wishing you’d picked a different one.
By choosing a tiara which is simple and elegant, you will give the impression of class and elegance. Chances are you’ll often look back at your wedding photos and don’t want to look back at any fashion mistakes so keeping it simple and classic will prevent this.

For some having a similar tiara to their favourite celebrity might be tempting, there’s nothing wrong with this as long as the wedding tiara suits you too, not just your role model. Just as perfume smells different on other people, wedding tiara look different too.

Bridal tiaras can be created from lots of different materials, for example, often pearl, diamantes and crystals are used, they are also available in many styles and heights. For more information on wedding tiara take a look at our blog at Wedding and Gems or download the free tiara guide.
