Wedding Beads
Every bride wants to look her best,
irrespective of cost. I know, I used
to photograph thousands of weddings.
The
bridal market is huge, with the average wedding costing US$20,000, that's over
£12,000.
Don’t miss out - get in now!
There are many ways beads can add an individual touch to a wedding, apart from
the bride. Beaded jewelry is needed
for the bride & groom’s mothers’, the bridesmaids, special friends, and just
about every lady attending:
·
On gowns
·
Wraps
·
Purses
·
Tiaras
·
Hairpins
·
Necklaces
·
Earrings and bracelets
·
In flower arrangements

Bridal Jewelry
White or subtle shades of pink freshwater pearls are ideal. One strand
will make three or four floating necklaces.
These are popular for weddings, giving the appearance of
floating on a fine wire.
Beads are crimped in place either individually or in small groups, single or
multi-stranded. Freshwater pearl earrings are inexpensive or you can make
them yourself with sterling silver wire.
Beading for Gowns
The favorites for beading gowns are tiny 3mm Swarovski crystals, small shiny
beads, light-reflecting coating, and silver-lined seed beads. The aurora
borealis effect from many gemstones is striking.
All these add interest to the dress and look great on the photographs,
especially as the wedding photographer will feature the bride’s and bridesmaid’s
gowns.
You can sew subtle little shapes, like flowers or butterflies, onto the gown
with tiny seed beads. Longer
patterns running right down the length of the dress look effective too.
Keep the bead color the same or similar to the gown, so as not to distract from
the dress’s elegance.
What bead pattern is best?
Try to match the pattern in gown’s
detail, to that on the tiara. If you
have a floral design in your gown, look for a similar headpiece.
A modern, plain white gown usually looks
best with a tiara with straight lines or a geometric pattern.
Bridal Tiara Designs
Match details of the dress and tiara.
If the dress has pearls or crystals, select a tiara with pearls or
crystals. However, a tiara with
only crystals or rhinestones will match any gown.
Pearl tiaras go well with off-white or ivory gowns, and compliment a
pearl necklace or earrings.
Make sure all the pieces of the bridal
ensemble work together and that no one piece overwhelms another.
Brides with short hair look fabulous wearing a tiara too – but choose a
lighter one that needs only a few pins to hold it in place.
Like a headband style or a more petite shape.
A tiara should draw attention to the
bride’s face by framing it. The
wrong shape tiara can make the face look too long and thin, or too short and
full.
Matching the face:
· Round/full face: to make the face appear longer use a tiara with a peak.
· Long face: needs headbands or a tiara with little or no height that extend over the head from one side to the other.
· Oval face: avoid peaks at the top which make the face appear longer. Choose a headband, side hair comb, or hair pins.
Matching the gown:
· White gowns: need a tiara that is silver-tone, rhinestone, or white pearl.
· Ivory gowns: choose a tiara that has gold-tone or ivory pearls.
· Champagne or dark ivory gown: choose a gold tone tiara or dark ivory pearls.
· Diamond white gowns: this is a modern shade of gown, lighter than off-white, but not start white. Choose either gold, silver tone, or white pearl.
Gift Ideas
A nice necklace, or bracelet and earrings will complement the bride or
bridesmaids dresses’. If you know the bride to be, incorporating beads
into her wedding will bring unexpected joy.
Like time together planning unique designs.
Other excellent lasting and unusual thank you gifts are:
· Beaded keyrings or cell-phone charms.
· Little beaded animals are fun.
· Pin brooches.
· Wine glass identifiers (different colored beaded rings around glasses).
·
Spectacle holder to keep glasses around their neck when not being
worn.
