Lauren's Champagne Burgundy Summer Wedding Jewelry

Weddings always bring such excitement to the air! It doesn't matter what season you marry in as all of them offer a beautiful backdrop to any Brides' vision of her special day.

I had received a wonderful email from a long-time customer, Mary Kay, that her daughter was getting married and they needed wedding jewelry. The request was for five Custom Bridesmaids Jewelry Sets, a Custom Bridal Haircomb, as well as, a Mother of the Bride Bracelet and Hairpins for Lauren's summer wedding.

I just love working with Mary Kay and being able to work with her again and her beautiful daughter was such a pleasure! Both Lauren and Mary Kay were so kind and generous to send me some photos of the lovely day!

The necklaces for the two Maids of Honor included a centered golden crystal shadow Swarovski Crystal Briolette drop. All the girls earrings included this same crystal drop.

Lauren's Custom Bridesmaids Jewelry Sets in Burgundy Crystal Bronze Pearl

It has officially began to snow here in Upstate New York. But, that isn't going to stop me from sharing these beautiful custom bridesmaids jewelry sets created for Lauren for her summer wedding.

After a few design reworks the sets turned out perfectly. Initially Lauren's jewelry design idea incorporated five crystal drops along the necklace and she was thinking of having this beaded necklace design for all the girls. But, after sending her some pictures she had second thoughts about this style and felt it might be too much for what she envisioned.

So I suggested maybe just putting the two Maids of Honor in the drop style and the simple strand for the rest of the girls. She loved the idea!

The three Bridesmaids Jewelry necklaces were designed in the same materials as the Maids of Honor except the crystal golden shadow Swarovski Crystal drop in the center was eliminated. This allowed for a classic, elegant simple beaded necklace strand. Necklace length is 17-1/4".

With the Bridal Party Earrings, Lauren decided to have all five girls with the same design. The only difference was the Maids of Honor would have a larger crystal drop. Pictured above are the Maids of Honor Earrings in the same burgundy and beige crystal pearl materials as the necklaces. The Maids of Honor earrings were 1-1/2" in length and the Bridesmaids Earrings were 1-1/4" in length from the bottom of the ear wire.

Each girl in the Bridal Party received a necklace and pair of earrings, elegantly presented in a signature complementary gift box and satin ribbon.

Lauren's Custom Bridal Crystal Allure Starburst Hair Comb

The creation of Lauren's Bridesmaids Jewelry was already in full swing and the designs were on track for completion. With just three weeks until the wedding, Lauren contacted me to ask if there would be time to design a custom bridal hair comb.

We discussed the specifics about what style she was looking for and how she planned to have her hair styled for the wedding. She really wanted to incorporate the bridesmaids jewelry into her hair piece somehow. There was no time to waste and so I got to work on making sure Lauren had the most beautiful bridal hair comb to wear on her wedding day!

I happened to come across this unfinished starburst hair comb (shown above) that was pretty similar to the style Lauren wanted. As I always do, I had a plan! I sent Lauren a picture of the comb I found and explained the idea I had. Her reply was,
Looks good to me! Work your magic!!
In the interest of time, it was also the perfect solution.

What emerged from my idea was a sparkling rhinestone starburst hair comb transformed into a handmade crystal and pearl bridal hair piece! A scattering of the bridal party's burgundy Swarovski Crystals and champagne bronze Swarovski Pearls, along with a few bridal white Swarovski Pearls were each wire wrapped to a silver hair comb. The comb measured 3-1/4" x 2-1/4".

Isn't it just beautiful!

On Lauren's wedding day, both her and Mary Kay were so kind to think of sending me pictures. It's such a busy and important time for both mother and daughter -and for them to think of sending me pictures just fills my heart. I am so appreciative of their gesture!

These moments are what truly gives meaning to my jewelry designs and inspires me to create. So, although my customers thank me for designing beautiful jewelry for them -it is really I who should (and do!) thank them for choosing Crystal Allure to be part of their special moments with my custom jewelry designs.

More to come on Lauren's Wedding Day.....
