David’s Brother Grantley finally tied the knot in South Africa at the end of April. We took the opportunity for a holiday there and ended in Durban for the wedding. The colour scheme was pink and orange……which you can only get away with in the African sunshine! Dalene is so gorgeous she couldn’t be anything other than a stunning bride.

Rebecca then asked me to make her a necklace to match her earrings. I used the same size crystal heart as a pendant and wire wrapped crystals to make the front of the necklace. I graded them in size, using larger ones in the front and smaller ones towards the back. I added a length of beautiful silver chain to make up the back of the necklace. It was a really lovely round silver link, but quite a big link and it finished off the necklace wonderfully. I think the finished piece was great and it’s definitely a bridal necklace that I am proud of.

Rebecca contacted me for some earrings for her wedding which was at the end of March. She wanted the heart earrings, but wanted them to be made much longer as she was wearing her hair down. The finished length that she wanted was about 7cm’s. I added some Swarovski Crystals to the drop and finished it off with the heart crystal. I think they’re lovely!

I was contacted in February by Caroline, who was looking for some necklaces to be made for her bridesmaids. The dresses were very striking, ivory with a chiffon overlay and black flowers stitched into the overlay. Caroline chose a large Swarovski heart crystal on 2 strands of Black organza. The wedding was held in South Africa on the 19th of March.

Sinead was kind enough to send me some of her wedding pics yesterday. I honestly struggled to decide which one to post today, they are all lovely and she made a gorgeous bride! I decided on this one, because it sums up what I think a wedding is all about ( that and my necklace looks good in it!)

Sinead also wanted a necklace made for her wedding which was on the 12th January.

As I had made the earrings using very pale pink crystals and tiny white seed pearls we wanted something using those colours.

Sinead liked the idea of a choker and very helpfully gave me some pictures to work from. The result was a very intricate necklace using crystals, white pearls and teardrop crystals. It was made entirely of sterling silver and reminded me of lace it was so detailed.

Sinead contacted me last year; she wanted a pair of earrings for her wedding on the 12th of January. She liked the Stick Pearl earrings I had on the site at the time, but wanted something a bit longer. Her colour scheme was pale pink and cream and we eventually decided on a cluster – ending with a stick pearl. I used the palest pink and clear Swarovski crystals and tiny seed pearls to make the cluster and finished it with pale pink stick pearls.

Deborah contacted me in May for bridal jewellery for her wedding on the 1st September. She chose a medium champagne crystal heart on champagne ribbon and a tiny champagne heart that she wanted made up as a headpiece. I was delighted when she sent me some photos this morning! What a stunning bride!
