Pretty Pearls

Nothing says elegance like a timeless pearl, this is the perfect stone to incorporate into your summer wedding. The pearl is said to symbolise the purity, generosity, integrity, and loyalty of its wearer, in other words the pearl symbolises every characteristic of the perfect bride. Here we have put together some great ways of incorporating a perfect pearl into your look.

The Dress

Wedding gowns ooze elegance and can come in all shapes, sizes and materials. Whether you’re head to toe in lace or gliding in silk, pearl embellishment can be added to your look to add that extra bit of charm. Every bride dreams of having the perfect wedding dress and there is no better way to add that timeless flare then a few pearls. One of our favourite ways to incorporate pearls into your wedding dress look is to pin pearls to your gown in the form of a broach or have an aisle of pearl buttons on the back of your dress. This is considered a very royal and contemporary style, perfect for brides after a more traditional look.

The Décor

Pearls can play a role in the décor of your wedding also. Fill up vases with pearls and use them to hold flowers in place for a stunning centrepiece idea. Place some loose pearls between candles and vases to give a very glamorous look. Hang a string of pearls along some drapes or the wall hanging to add to the fairy tale wedding day look.

The Bouquet

Spruce up your wedding bouquet and add something to make your fab flowers stand out and add some pearls and some baby breath to give a very authentic look. Why not allow some hanging pearls off your bouquet to add a little vintage flare!

The Accessories

Last but not least of course the accessories. There is no better way to add that elegant touch like a little pearl earring or evening drop pearl earrings. Try something new and wear a pearl headband or a stunning pearl slide. Pearls can also be worn in your veil, scattered pearls or a lining of pearls adds a subtle yet stunning effect to your bridal veil.

Dressing the Bridesmaids SAME OR DIFFERENT

May 17, 2024

Traditionally, bridesmaids have worn the same dress to create a cohesive and uniform look. This practice dates back to ancient times when bridesmaids were tasked with protecting the bride from evil spirits or potential suitors. By dressing identically, it was believed that the bridesmaids could confuse any ill-intentioned individuals and ensure the bride’s safety. Over time, this tradition evolved into a way to symbolise the unity and support of the bridal party. By wearing the same dress, bridesmaids visually demonstrate their commitment to the bride and her special day. It also helps to create a sense of harmony and balance in the overall wedding aesthetic. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more individuality and personal expression in weddings. Many brides are now opting for a more modern approach, allowing their bridesmaids to wear different dresses that suit their individual styles and body types. This change reflects a desire to celebrate the unique personalities and preferences of each bridesmaid, while still maintaining a cohesive look.
