In my last post - Matching Brides and Bridesmaids Tiaras I designed a matching bridesmaids tiara at the request of a bride and as a result of this I decided that I wanted to create more matching bridal and bridesmaids tiaras.  With this in mind I create the Kelly Wedding Tiara and the Kelly Bridesmaids Tiara.

The Kelly Bridal Tiara has a handmade tiara base making it extremely flexible and light weight.  The very narrow tiara band is hidden behind a mass of Swarovski crystals of various sizes resulting in a dazzling display.  Protruding from the sparkling crystal base are spikes of olive and bicone Swarovski crystals complimented with diamante rondelles for added texture.

You can view the Kelly Wedding Tiara below and for more pictures and information visit the Kelly Wedding Tiara product page.

As I previously mentioned I wanted to create a bridesmaids tiara to match the Kelly Wedding Tiara.  The Kelly Bridesmaids Tiara is structurally the same as the Kelly Wedding Tiara, it’s created from a handmade tiara base and has a matching design of Swarovski crystal and diamante rondelles protruding from the base. However the base is kept undecorated creating a more simple tiara perfect for bridesmaids.  You can view the Kelly Bridesmaids Tiara below and more information about this bridesmaids tiara can be obtained by visiting the product page.

Both the Kelly Wedding and the Kelly Bridesmaids Tiaras are available online now in silver with either clear or clear AB Swarovski crystals.

I received an enquiry today regarding the Pearl Tiara 006. The bride in question was looking for bridesmaids tiaras to compliment the Pearl Tiara 006.  She wanted a very simple pearl headband for her bridesmaids and asked if I could create something to match the bridal tiara she was purchasing.  As a result the Pearl Tiara 006 Headband was born.  I’ve posted images below and as usual with all my handmade items it is available on either a silver or gold tiara band in white or ivory glass pearls.

The Pearl Tiara 006 Headband is shown above on a gold coloured tiara base with Ivory pearls in 2 different sizes.

You can see how well these 2 pearl tiaras work well together in the image below.

I enjoyed designing the matching bridesmaids headband and I think I might continue to make matching bridesmaids accessories for a small collection of my current bridal tiaras so keep an eye out.

While I’ve been away on holiday I’ve taken the time to actively promote my tiaras and jewellery from Wedding and Gems, one of the ways I have done this is by using Squidoo.  Have you heard of it? Until last week I had never heard of Squidoo so I decided to have a go at creating a lens on a few of our best selling pearl tiaras.  The squidoo concept is unique in that members can rate lenses, interact with them and like a blog leave comments.

In my first lens I listed a small number of pearl tiaras that I had created, with a little information about each one.  You can rate these pearl tiaras here - Three Gorgeous Pearl Tiaras.

My plan is to use Squidoo to gain feedback from brides like yourself to ensure that I am offering bridal accessories that you are looking for on a site that is optimised for your enjoyment, not just for google.

I have to admit that I’ve got a little hooked on created lenses, it’s just so much fun and I’ve even create a squidoo group for all things wedding related.  I’m determined to create more lenses to show case Wedding And Gems tiaras and wedding jewellery.  So if you have a particular product on our site that you want to see featured on a squidoo lens, then feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll see what I can do.

If you already use Squidoo, feel free to add any wedding related lenses to the following group - Wedding Planning.

Don’t forget you can see all our tiaras, bridal hair accessories and wedding jewellery by clicking the links to the right.

Have fun with your wedding planning.

I’m actually away on my family holidays (it’s half term) but as usual I’ve been unable to drag myself away from Wedding And Gems.  So as a compromise I’ve left my tiara and jewellery making materials and tools at home and I’ve been allowed to bring my laptop so I can keep an eye on things.

I’ve only been away a few days and already I’m itching to create tiaras and wedding jewellery, so instead I’ve been sat with a pen and paper designing new bridal accessories.  Unfortunately you’ll have to wait a few weeks for me to create them as I’ll be busy with orders as soon as I get home.

Speaking of orders for wedding tiaras and jewellery, the sites been a lot busier than I expected for this time of year, so I’ll take this opportunity to say thank you for your business and very kind words.  I get so much satisfaction from brides who contact me after receiving their wedding tiaras or jewellery (and in many cases both) just to say how beautiful they are and how they can’t wait to wear them on their wedding day.

For those of you that have yet to buy your bridal accessories, feel free to contact me and get to know me a little.  Your wedding day is important and I would like the necessary task of chosing your bridal accessories to be an enjoyable and satisfying experience.

I sincerley hope that your wedding planning is going well.

I’ve been busy creating new tiara designs which are all available to buy from the Wedding And Gems shop.  If you’ve read previous blog posts then you’ll already know that I’ve incorporating fresh water pearls into some of my lastest bridal jewellery designs, so it made sense to create new tiaras with fresh water pearls too.

The Chloe Pearl Tiara (shown below) is handcrafted solely from fresh water pearls, giving it a simplistic yet elegant look. This pearl tiara is 3cm tall and is available on either a silver or gold coloured band.

Chole Pearl Tiara

I’ve also create a pearl tiara with crystal and diamante accents for those brides who love the elegance of pearls but still want a bit of sparkle.  The Diana Wedding Tiara (shown below) is handcrafted from fresh water pearls, clear diamante and Swarovski crystal.

Diana Wedding Tiara

The Diana wedding tiara shown above has been created with clear AB Swarovski crystals which have a rainbow effect and reflect various colours of light.  However this pearl tiara is also available with clear Swarovski crystals if you prefer something more refrained.

I’d love to know what you think about these two new pearl tiaras, so feel free to leave a comment below.
