Cats Wedding Hair Vine

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a bride to be who asked me to create a bridal hair vine for her wedding day.  Cat had a very clear idea of the type of wedding vine she wanted and I’ve written a previous blog post which can be read here  – Bridal Hair vines.  Cat’s hair vine was the one shown in the bottom photo.

Cat sent me a few photos of her wedding day and she’s allowed me to share them with you.  As you can see her hair dresser has done a fantastic job with her bridal hair.  Cat had also added frosted leaves to her hair which I think was a fantastic idea.

Cat’s style was simple and elegant which you can see from the image below.  Her choice of a hair vine over a tiara helped with her relaxed fun theme.

A variation on Cat’s hair vine can be found here – Cat Crystal Hair Vine.  This hair vine has been created with clear AB beads in the place of frosted clear beads which was Cat’s choice.  If you want a bespoke bridal accessory created for you, contact me using the contact form and we can discuss your ideas and work within your budget.

Calla Lily Hair Accessories

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Calla Lilies are extremely popular with brides, I had a hand tied bouquet featuring just mango calla lilies and I loved it.

A while ago I came across frosted while calla lilies that I could use to create bridal accessories with. The first wedding hair accessory that featured these beautiful frosted white calla lilies was the Calla Lily Crystal Hair Pin.  You can see it below shown in clear crystal on silver wire.

After the success of the bridal hair pin, I wanted to offer my customers more of a choice on how the calla lilies could be worn.  The Calla Lily Hair Vine is perfect for brides or bridesmaids that have thinner hair as the hair vine is fixed into place with hair grips.  The twisted wire adorned with Swarovski crystals give this wedding hair vine texture and further interest.

Yesterday I finished the Calla Lily Collection by creating the Calla Lily Wedding Headband which has the calla lily detail off to the side and is simply slipped onto the head like a normal headband.  The headband is available in silver or gold and in clear or clear AB Swarovski crystal.

I’ve tried to give brides a few options so they can incorporate calla lilies into their bridal accessories, but if you have another way you would like to use them in your bridal accessories just use the contact form and we can discuss your options.

Since originally writing this post I’ve been busy adding more calla lily hair accessories to the collect so if you want to see them all you can veiw them here: Calla lily hair accessories

Crystal Wedding Hair Flowers

Friday, March 13th, 2009

I’ve designed a range of crystal wedding hair flowers for Wedding And Gems and since they seem to be so popular I thought I would gather them all together in one blog post so they’re all in once place.

Some brides prefer larger crystal flowers such as the Floral Hair Pin which is one of the newest wedding hair

accessories to be added to the Wedding And Gems collection.  This hair pin is quite large and can be used on it’s own to add sparkle to any brides or bridesmaids hair.  The colour of the crystal in the centre can also be changed to so you can match it to your bridesmaids dresses or your bouquet colours.  You can see the various options for this flower wedding hair pin here:

Another Crystal Flower wedding hair pin available from Wedding And Gems are the  True Flower Wedding Accessories which are sold in a set of 5.  These crystal flower hair pins use a barrel shaped Swarovski crystal to give them a softer shape.  There are perfect dotted around your hair, subtle enough to add just the right amount of sparkle.

You can view more information on these Crystal Flower wedding hair accessories on the following page:

I’ve only listed a very small number of our crystal wedding hair flowers here, you can see more by checking out the bridal hair pins and grips section of the website – Bridal Hair Pins and Grips.

New Bridal Accessories

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

I seem to have been on a bit of a mad mission creating new bridal accessories for Wedding And Gems so I thought I would showcase some of my favourite pieces here.  There is a huge emphasis on calla lilly wedding accessories this year so I designed what has to be my favourite wedding hair pin, the Calla Lilly Crystal Hair Pin.  From the photos below you can see that it’s handcrafted from 3 frosted calla lilies which have a Swarovski crystal centre.  Sprouting from behind and in between the calla lilies are stalks of crystals.  It really is a pretty piece and is selling extremely well in the shop

I’ve also create a number of new pieces of wedding jewellery such as the Crystal and Pearl Bridal Earrings which was be seen in silver and clear crystal with fresh water pearls below.

I didn’t stop there either,  I’ve made more bridal earrings which you can see by heading over to Wedding Jewellery on the site.

I also created a few more bracelets too, below you can see the Sparkles Wedding Bracelet finished with a gold plated clasp.

Again I wasn’t satisfied at creating just the one new wedding bracelet so I created the Swarovski Crystal Bracelet which is handcrafted with 3 different sizes of Swarovski crystal knotted onto a clear thread to give the impressions of the crystals floating around the wrist.  You can view the Swarovski Crystal Bracelet by clicking on the following link – Swarovski Crystal Bracelet.

And just to finish the afternoon of I have designed a brand new wedding tiara this afternoon and you can see and hear all about the inspiration behind this particular wedding tiara in my next blog post.

Happy Wedding Planning.
