ACCESSORISE AND SHINE Getty Images Richard from RTFJ says, “Wedding jewellery and accessories ideally should be white metal with pale, white or clear stones to match and complement the bridal attire. Diamonds and pearls are a fantastic choice for this, given the crisp balanced white look. “Stones such as cubic zirconia or topaz make an ideal choice for bridal jewellery along with freshwater or simulated pearls. While I’m not usually an advocate of such stones, if you don’t want to spend top money on diamonds and platinum for your accessories, saving investment in such materials for your wedding bands, silver and synthetics will look great too. After all, no one in their right mind will challenge a bride on her wedding day as to the metals/stones she’s wearing!” Jewellery designer Gabriella Casemore (www.gabriellacasemore.com) says, “For brides who prefer a more understated day-to-day style, transformable jewellery provides versatility and timeless appeal. These earrings feature removable tassels, allowing you to effortlessly switch between two distinct looks – perfect for transitioning from ceremony to reception or for wearing long after the wedding.” Gabriella Casemore “For couples prioritising sustainability, selecting ethically sourced and reusable pieces is a wonderful way to align your wedding day with your values.” Gabriella continues. “Choosing jewellery and accessories that can transition seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe ensures they remain cherished long after the big day.” Gabriella Casemore © www.katherineandhercamera.com “If a necklace isn’t part of your bridal ensemble, consider dramatic earrings to elevate your look,” Gabriella suggests. “These designs are handmade to order using fully sustainable recycled sterling silver. Each pair is crafted in my studio with impeccable attention to detail, offering a bold yet eco-conscious choice for your wedding day.” Gabriella Casemore Gabriella’s innovative approach extends to her exquisite hair accessories, which are designed to transform into wearable jewellery. “Brides can return their pieces to my studio after the wedding to have them reimagined into stunning necklaces or earrings, creating a lasting memento of your special day,” she explains. For bridesmaids, she offers accessories that instantly convert into elegant jewellery, making them a thoughtful and memorable gift. “By choosing handmade, sustainable designs like these, you’re not only investing in beautiful bridal pieces but also in a future filled with meaningful and wearable memories,” Gabriella says.
