Gems and Jewels
Gems and jewels are a great way of incorporating a pop of colour to your look and even bringing in your colour scheme. Statement necklaces and earrings are a way to add a more modern twist to your look! Big, bold and daring, if you think they’re too much for your own look and prefer a more simple, understated look, your lovely maids may be only too happy to add a gem or two to their jewellery box.

Pretty Pearls
Whether you’re for the tradition or against (some say pearls are good luck, others say bad, we say wear what you want – read more about this tradition here), they can be a pretty addition to your bridal look. Whether you opt for a simple string of pearls or for the bride who isn’t so keen on the traditional, pearls are constantly being given a modern twist with statement neck pieces and ornate drop earrings vying for your attention…
