Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Page number 9 - August/September 2021 (Issue 84)

THINKING OF YOU Jewellery often holds such sentimental value that finding the perfect piece can be a struggle. Bath- based jewellery brand Abbott Lyon are thrilled to launch its Thoughtful Jewellery collection, which promises to offer necklaces holding special meaning to represent different chapters in our lives. Founded by young entrepreneur Jezz Skelton, the British-born brand has swiftly established itself as a leading name in affordable luxury with its polished signature style. Whether it’s a gift for a recently engaged friend, a thank you to a mum who’s been there throughout your wedding planning or for a thoughtful piece of big-day jewellery, there are necklaces designed to connect with everyone. Each piece is created in sterling silver and comes in a luxurious gift box. We’ve got our eye on the engraved Love necklace for an extra personal touch! Find out more at www.abbottlyon.com LASTING MEMORIES By preserving your wedding flowers in a luxurious paperweight, The Flower Preservation Workshop offers a special way of creating everlasting mementoes of your day, and the team has recently launched a new jewellery product to its collection. The pretty beads can be added to an existing charm bracelet and have been a popular gift for mums and the bridal party. They’re also a fab option for couples to give to loved ones who weren’t able to attend the big day because of restricted guest numbers. You can get your hands on these lovely little gifts at £44.95 each or three for £130. Why not add it to your paperweight order as a gift to yourself? A 3.5” single flower paperweight and a single bead is £210.

We hadn’t had any brides in our brand new boutique in Axbridge, so that made things even more exciting.” Since opening its new premises at The Hayloft, the business has been inundated with great feedback on its new location. “Finally meeting brides again and helping those whose weddings are coming up quickly has been a privilege,” Sarah tells us. “We even managed to get a gown in less than a week for one bride.” The new boutique is packed with exquisite gowns and some exciting new collections.
