Henry D Johnstone Henry D Johnstone DRESS TO IMPRESS “The perfect jewellery adds a radiant touch to a bride’s look,” Lee from Henry D Johnstone says. “Select pieces that harmonise with the neckline enhance the overall elegance. Silver jewellery brand Carat London has the ideal collections to complement any look. Strapless gowns dazzle with statement chokers, while high-neck designs pair effortlessly with refined drop earrings. Off-the-shoulder silhouettes make a striking statement with bold, shoulder-grazing earrings, and V-neck gowns are beautifully accented by delicate pendants or Y-necklaces.” Ian says, “Your hair accessories should harmonise with the style and detailing of your wedding dress. If your gown features lace, look for accessories with lace motifs or pearl embellishments that echo its design.” Once you’ve said “yes” to the dress, go shopping for jewellery armed with information. “We always ask the bride for a photo of her wedding dress so we can offer advice on matching jewellery,” Selina from Trust & Co says. THE MANE EVENT “The style of your hair will influence the type of accessories that work best,” Ian says. “For complicated updos, consider hairpins, combs or delicate headbands. For loose curls or waves, hair vines or halos can beautifully accentuate the natural flow. “Consider too how your hair colour and texture will interact with different materials and colours. Silver tones often complement cool hair colours, while gold can enhance warmer tones. Your hairstylist can offer valuable insights based on your hair type and the style you want to achieve. They can also help secure your accessories in a way that ensures they stay in place all day.” Now That’s Pretty Chloe Crystal Hair Pins, Glorious by Heidi © www.charlottepalazzo.co.uk Athena Gold Flower Bridal Hair Pins, Glorious by Heidi © www.charlottepalazzo.co.uk TREND PREDICTIONS Heidi says, “Two big trends in wedding styling for 2025 are big bold bows and the use of textures and layering. To help you hop on the trend train, I’d recommend my glamorous Clara Crystal Bow set on a small silver comb for ease of fixing into your hair and my Chloe Crystal Hair Pins that can be layered up allowing you to decide the level of impact you’d like to achieve with your hair accessories. “Also on my layering list are my Athena Gold Flower Hair Pins. Choose from a small posy-sized selection, through to a big blowsy arrangement for maximum eye-catching impact!” A PART OF HISTORY Lee says, “As a bride or groom, you may have inherited a ring or a piece of jewellery from a relative or close family member and would like to incorporate into your wedding day. You have the choice to embrace your heirloom just as it is, polished and refreshed for a renewed sparkle or transform it by melting the precious metal into something entirely new that reflects your unique style. One way to wear an heirloom piece would be to use a loved one’s brooch on the wedding bouquet or attached to the inside or outside of the dress. For men, a vintage watch or pair of cufflinks may complete the look. Whether you wish to honour its history or give it a modern twist, we can help you bring your vision to life.” AFFORDABILITY “Set a budget for your accessories and explore different options within that range,” Ian says. “Remember, you can find beautiful pieces at various price points, so don’t hesitate to shop around. Also, bespoke designs are not as expensive as you may think.” Henry D Johnstone 47 JEWELLERY & ACCESSORIES
