Top 5 Accessories for Brides

1. Shoes - You will need shoes for your wedding. You can buy some great shoes from bridal boutiques or you can go to a dance shop and buy some soft dancing shoes (like for ballroom dancing). When choosing your shoes remember you will have to wear them all day and you must be comfortable, as there is a lot of standing to do. (I remember that I was in agony by the time I got out of the church!
2. Bouquet -When choosing your bouquet try to imagine how it will look with your dress and get flowers to complement your colour schemes. If you are going for fresh flowers collect pictures of bouquets you like and discuss with your florist your choices for seasonal blooms.If you want something less traditional or to keep forever why not have a crystal bouquet? Or have some crystals added in with your flowers.
3. Veil -Veils are down to personal preference and they are great, but don’t feel you need one if you don’t feel comfortable wearing one. Veils come in various lengths to reach your elbows, fingertips or the floor. Have a play around with different sizes when you have your dress fitting. Veils also can come with beautiful details so you can match them up with your dress.
4. Bag - There are some exquisite bridal bags on the market so if you want one shop around. Bear in mind that you may not have hands to hold it though. So if you would rather go without get your chief bridesmaid a matching dolly bag and add your things into there for her to look after instead.
5. Garter - No bride is complete without a garter, so choose one you love, borrow one or have a blue one. It will make you feel sexy and is a bit of fun.

Latest Bespoke Pieces

I just wanted to share with you a few pieces I have been working on over the last few weeks.

First of all for Kay.

Kay wanted a Daisy comb which would match her earrings she already has, after a consultation via email I sketched a few ideas for Kay

Kay chose her favourite, we made some design changes, and then I began work on her comb.
This is the finished piece:

Kay received her comb today, this is what she said

"I found Bespoken For on the web after a long and disappointing search for a hair comb for my wedding.  I am a 'mature' bride so didn't feel as though I fitted the standard bridal model.  Jenni listened to my ideas, produced several designs and choices for me and today I received my beautiful hair comb.  It was beautifully wrapped and presented with lovely little touches.  I won't tell you what they are - so you get the 'wow' factor like I did on opening the parcel!!!  This comb is going into my keepsake box after the wedding and I hope that one day I will have a granddaughter who will wear it on her wedding day.  Thank you Jenni.xxxxx"

 Secondly I have been working on a bespoke Back Cascade for Alana

We worked on a few design ideas, but this is the one Alana liked best, this is how it looked when finished:

Alana said "It is totally amazing Jenni and exactly what i dreamed of!

Thanks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much you have been fantastic."

Introducing the Deity Collection - Designed for the Goddess in You

Our latest collection has been born from the inspiration of the swirls of the waves and sea and the luminescence of our favourite oval shaped freshwater pearls.

We used thousand of teeny tiny silver lined seed beads, the best swarovski crystals and lots of silver wire to create these stunning pieces.

The collection is available to buy online now at www.BespokenFor.co.uk

The Vintage Wedding Fayre - Hedingham Castle 5th June

This is a quick post as I have to continue the preparation for the vintage wedding fair this Sunday. 
I love wedding fairs, it is so lovely to meet brides and talk about their weddings face to face.  Most of my business is online and I liaise via email and phone, so wedding fairs offer me something I can't resist.

I am particularly looking forward to showing visitors to the fayre what's new at Bespoken For, the top secret products that are on the way, introducing our new Designer Lucy, who will be heading up the textiles, dresses, garters, corsets and more which are due to launch online this year.  I am also offering visitors a chance to buy  exclusive vintage pieces not available online, which are one off's, as well as a fabulous offer on bridesmaids jewellery and the opportunity to win a Bespoke Vintage Side Tiara, designed especially for the show.

made with Grandmother's Love

I recently was commissioned to make a necklace and bracelet for a bride using her Grandmother's pearls.  I though this was a beautiful way to include sentimental personal touches in your jewellery for the special day.

I finished the look with a vintage brooch which can be used as a clasp or worn as a brooch and a sterling silver karen hill tribe flower clasp easily added.

To make jewellery with your own components costs time plus materials at £25 per hour. If you would like to know more email me jenni.scott@bespokenfor.co.uk
