Belle Amour: Wedding Ideas Less of the traditional. More of the original.

Los Angeles company Dogeared (that, yep, ship to the UK) stock sweet and simple jewellery perfect for the bride and the wedding party. I’m a big fan of big chunky statement jewellery for a wedding day but I also think some wedding looks would be overpowered by this jewellery. Sometimes it makes sense to go with delicate pieces and that’s where a company such as Dogeared steps in.

Charmed

Their range of bridal charm pendants feature so many customisable options you can personalise it to suit you or as a thoughtful gift for your wedding party. There are all these charms…

Choose between popping your chosen charm on a chain or a thread that matches the colour of your wedding, you can even pick the length! And finally pick the card you wish the pendant to be presented on, should it be titled ‘bridesmaid’ or ‘flowergirl’ or ‘big sister’… There’s even a ‘bridezilla’ for those wanting to buy a gift for a particularly picky bride! I love that you could buy these for all your maids but the charms can be individually picked for their character, always nice having that personal touch.

Pretty pearls

Along with charms there are pretty pearls of love, or, pearls of friendship if you prefer:

Bouquet glass

And I really love these charms you can attach to your bouquet, especially the gorgeous glass heart for your something blue:

Bridal mag bag

There’s loads more to see on this website but the post would be insanely long if I featured it all. Just one last thing though… for the bride that’s deep in planning her wedding you probably need one of these cute tote bags to lug all that wedding research around in:

I think that’s a good enough excuse to get one?!

I’m always on the look out for something different and so was really excited to discover, Edinburgh-based, Rockcandy Gallery. Set up in 2006 by designers Danielle & Susanna, they have a contemporary collection of designer jewellery for those wanting to wear the unique.

Feast your eyes on some inspirational ideas for that important, wear-all-the-time, engagement ring:

Rockcandy Gallery cater for the men too:

Along with stunning wedding jewellery there’s lots of other fabulous pieces to see. My favourite range is the bright and bold range by Block:

I love the colours, the mismatched earrings and the chunkiness. I actually think these would make fun, and affordable, bridesmaid gifts! In fact I can see no reason why a bride couldn’t be in jewellery this bright and contemporary!

As if this jewellery wasn’t amazing enough, most of the designers are willing to work on commission so you’ll be able to buy a piece that not only looks unique, it actually will be.
