craftspeople create each piece themselves so there is
often the option for you to put a personal twist to their
creations. These designers have developed their skills
and can create fantastic personalised products that will
really stand out.
For example, handmade jewellery is a wonderful way
to create a stand-out wedding look. My new range of
bespoke wedding jewellery uses the texture of the lace
from your wedding dress. This is not only an elegant way
to complete your bridal outfit – it’s also a lasting reminder
of your wedding. The designs have a timeless style so that
you’ll treasure your necklace long after the big day.
As I’m the designer I can consult with the couple on
the styles and shapes that will best suit their needs. I’ll
perhaps include the couple’s birthstones or an
inscription of initials, or the date. To complete the look,
matching earrings and bridesmaids’ items are also
available along with cufflinks for your groom.
Personalised wedding favours are the perfect way to
help your guests remember your day and show them
how grateful you are for them celebrating it with you.
Hanging heart decorations are a lovely present for your
guests to take away; look into having your initial and the
date featured on the heart. Handmade chocolates could
be a tasty way to thank your guests, and you can feature
their initials to make it very personal to them.
‘When it comes to creating a
personalised wedding, the
options are endless. Remember
the golden rule – choose what
you love. Then your style will
show through and you’ll
create amemorable day
celebrating you as a couple.’
