Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- April/May 2021 (Issue 26)

AND FINALLY...A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL Jeweller Louise Parry specialises in commissioned and limited-edition jewellery, timepieces and silverware handmade in her workshop and showroom in the centre of Cirencester, Gloucestershire. These exquisite offerings use specialised textures and include wedding and engagement rings in gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Louise can also remodel jewellery, perfect for couples with a sentimental heirloom that they want made into something special for their wedding day. Louise offers a range of ready-to-wear wedding and engagement rings that can be sized and purchased immediately as well as sentimental gifts for bridesmaids, grooms and mums. Louise offers virtual consultations via Zoom for couples who can’t travel to her showroom and although never quite replacing real-life meetings, they have recently proved an extremely popular way to discuss new designs and commissions and view the diamonds and semi-precious stones that Louise sources for each unique piece. Louise tells us, “I’m very excited by the prospect of inviting clients back into my showroom from June when restrictions allow.” ALL IN THE DETAIL Lyla Gibb from The Cotswold Wedding Company based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, who specialise in beautiful styling and decoration for weddings hand-creates everything from statement ceiling drapes, floral hoops, flower bomb centrepieces and pretty table garlands made with foliage and blooms. She tells us, “Don’t underestimate the difference a few decorative pieces can make to a ceremony and reception room at weddings large and small. Lace chair drops, hanging paper lanterns and table pedestals and trees suit micro weddings and celebrations with more than a hundred guests.” www.jam esmerrick.co.uk and www.louisebowlesphotography.com Laura Parsons, co-owner of Butterfly Creations based in Swindon, Wiltshire tells us how balloon installations can help to create a wow-factor backdrop for photographs. “They look great and are ideal for today’s social media-obsessed world!” She also says, “Don’t forget the importance of props – why not set up an ice cream table where guests can serve themselves? Not only will it look cool, but it’ll also be a great ice-breaker!” Contact ❤ Butterfly Occasions | 07702 179 293 | https://butterfly-occasions.co.uk, www.instagram.com/butterflyballoonsswindon ❤ Louise Parry | 07837 267 051 | www.louiseparry.co.uk www.facebook.com/LouiseParryJewelleryAndSilverware www.instagram.com/louiseparry6092 ❤ The Cotswold Wedding Company | 01242 374 303, www.cotswoldweddingco.com | w ww.facebook.com/CotswoldWeddingCo www.instagram.com/cotswoldweddingco 18-carat yellow and white gold rings with green sapphire and diamonds, from £1,100 Commissioned wedding and engagement set incorporating client’s gold ring along with sapphire, diamond and silver, price on application 18-carat yellow and white gold rings with cognac and white diamonds, from £2,400 Platinum and 18-carat yellow gold rings with diamonds, from £4,900 9-carat yellow and white gold diamond pendant, from £2,900 REGIONAL INSPIRATION 57
