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.

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

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

Ten Top Tips for Choosing Garters

1. Measure your thigh and order a garter that is made to fit you, order the size in which your leg is in the middle, if it is too tight, you will be uncomfortable, if it is too big, it will slip and fall off.

2. When choosing a garter, go for one that you love, if you love it you will wear it again.

3. For maximum comfort choose a garter in which the elastic is covered, this will be much more comfortable.

4. You may have to show it for photos, so wear it on your best leg.

5. Don't wear your garter too high, it may rub your inner thigh.

6. Don't wear your garter too low or it may slip off.

7. Fit your garter just above your knee, on the leg you find it most comfortable.

8. If you are going to toss your garter then, take care removing it, you want to save your underwear for your other half not your guests.

9. Add a little unique touch with a garter charm, these can be made to match your colours.

10. If you wish you can use your garter to sew your something old, new and blue on to,

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.
