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."

Choosing your Wedding Jewellery

Your wedding jewellery is an important purchase for your wedding. When choosing your wedding jewellery you have to consider many factors and as your jewellery will have sentimental value you need to purchase with investment and style.

Before choosing your wedding jewellery you should choose your wedding dress. Then you can begin to complement your wedding gown with suitable accessories and jewellery that will complement the dress.

Your wedding jewellery should include details that are on your wedding dress such as crystals, pearls, seed or bugle beads, diamante etc. That way your wedding jewellery will co-ordinate perfectly with your gown. You should also choose wedding jewellery that is in a metal colour to match the detail of your wedding dress or wedding rings.

The necklace you wear needs to echo the neckline of your dress. If your wedding dress is strapless you can choose any necklace you like. If you have a V or sweetheart neckline then your wedding necklace should be either a simple pendant or a Y shaped drop necklace will look fabulous.

Your wedding jewellery set should also echo your own personality. As you want your wedding jewellery to be extra special you could consider having your jewellery designed by a bespoke wedding jewellery designer to add that personal touch and make your wedding jewellery extra unique to you.

When having your wedding jewellery designed you should discuss in detail with the designer your wishes and ensure that they include details you desire.

Wedding jewellery can make or break your look so it is important to get it perfect. Trends in wedding jewellery often follow holly wood glamour and styles from the catwalk and Oscars. 2009 was a big year for fabulous earrings, bare necks and bold cuff bracelets with many brides adopting this look in their wedding jewellery.

The trend for tiaras too comes and goes. Whilst tiaras never go out of style with brides the style of the tiara can often change with the latest fashions dictating the height and style.

When choosing your wedding jewellery the most important factor is to buy wedding jewellery you love, that you will treasure forever and pass on as an heirloom. As long as you love your wedding jewellery and you are happy with it, you know you have chosen correctly.
