There are so many ways beads can add an individual touch to a wedding. On gowns, wraps, purses, tiaras, hairpins, and in flower arrangements. Plus the more-obvious uses like necklaces, earrings and bracelets - for mum, mother-in-law, the bridesmaids and special friends. These make excellent lasting and unique thank you gifts. A nice necklace, bracelet and earrings will complement their dresses. Incorporating beads into your wedding will bring you joy in unexpected ways – time spent with friends, creating pieces that are unique, and an escape from the stress of planning.
White or subtle shades of pink freshwater pearls are ideal for wedding jewelry. These can be purchased most economically by the strand, temporarily strung. One strand can easily be divided to make three or four floating necklaces, a popular wedding option. Floating necklaces have beads crimped in place either individually or in small groups, to give the appearance of floating on a fine wire. Multi-stranded floating necklaces are striking too. Freshwater pearl earring can be inexpensively brought or you can make them yourself with sterling silver wire.
Beading for Gowns
Tiny
3mm Swarovski crystals with or without an aurora borealis, shiny,
light-reflecting coating, and silver-lined seed beads are the favorites for
beading gowns. They add interest to the dress and show up 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 using tiny seed beads - and 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 take away the dress’s elegance.
Wedding Gift Ideas
Beaded keyrings
are a favorite, and a good men’s gift. Little beaded animals are fun, pin
brooches are easy to make, and wine glass identifiers (different colored beaded
rings to slip on the bottom of your guests’ wine glasses) are popular too.
Someone who wears specs may well appreciate a fine bead-on-silk thread
“necklace” to keep their glasses around their neck when not being worn.
