Wedding Jewellery & UK Traditions

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue is the tradition for brides on their big day.

Even a contemporary modern bride can still embrace the joy of wedding traditions as part of the fun of the ceremony.

Something old, is a great way of involving family history. For my own wedding I had my great grandmother’s engagement ring sewn on to my petticoat. If you can’t get something old you could purchase vintage wedding jewellery which has been restored and revived.

Something new will be more than likely your wedding dress, unless you plan to borrow a dress from a relative to wear as they walk down the aisle. Embrace something new with items of Wedding Jewellery or a tiara or hair accessory that can be bought to accessorise perfectly with your dress. You shoes are also a great something new.

Something Borrowed.... friends and family will love to lend you things to wear on your wedding day. An underskirt or petticoat, veil, tiara, garter, necklace, bracelet or brooch, if you really like you can talk to Jenni and see if bespoken for can hire some jewellery for your wedding.

Something Blue... we will put a free blue bead in any jewellery design you like as a little something blue. Other ideas are for a friend to sew a blue ribbon into your dress, blue garter or perhaps embroider a handkerchief with your new initials.

Other ways to embrace tradition is with horseshoes. A horseshoe is a symbol of luck and fertility for newly married couples and is a stunning keepsake. Bespoken for offer handcrafted crystal horseshoes which can be made to match the wedding scheme. Horseshoes can be personalised with couples initial and dates or left blank to be an heirloom to pass on. Jenni also can design and work around a real horseshoe should you prefer this to a crystal or pearl wedding horseshoe.

Bespoken For’s fine selection of handmade jewellery is aimed at what the bride to be needs. The collections are necklaces and bracelets, earrings and a host of other items that can be worn with style and are all made to measure.

Depending on the style and design of your dress we offer a vast range of chokers or pendants. There are delicate items that will daintily sit comfortably around the neck and earrings that can be bought to mix and match with your entire look. Crystal earrings might make a fine selection that will drop with style from the earlobes. Stunning bracelet designs can also be worn as charming wrist embellishments.

When it comes to Wedding Jewellery the choice is seemingly endless as there are numerous pieces that can be selected. Hopefully you as the blushing bride will have plenty of time before the wedding to ensure that you pick the ideal set of Wedding Jewellery for your magical day.
