While wedding flowers are beautiful all on their own, bridal bouquet jewellery is definitely that finishing touch to make those flowers outstanding and meaningful. Bridal bouquet jewellery is a relatively new bridal accessory that develops visual appeal within a wedding ceremony and reception, and which further enriches the overall décor of a wedding.
Consisting of a simple pin-like stem with a decorative top, bouquet jewellery is available in crystals or rhinestones, swarovski crystals or pearls. Many shapes and colours also add richness to bouquet jewellery including hearts, butterflies, dragonflies, flowers, crosses and many more, all of which are available in clear, pink and peach stones, to name a few.
The true beauty of bridal bouquet jewellery is that it can also be utilized in a variety of ways not only to enhance wedding flowers and floral bouquets, but also to help couples to add meaning to their special day.
Themed Weddings
Most couples choose to incorporate a wedding theme, often relating to hobbies, a favourite colour or the destination of the wedding. Regardless of the choice, bouquet jewellery can be used to help develop the chosen theme. Some examples:
- If you're planning a tropical destination wedding, then accentuate your wedding flowers with shell or starfish bridal bouquet jewellery.
- If you're planning an elegant soirée, than decorate the bridal bouquet with pearl bouquet jewellery.
- If you're planning a wedding with an interest-related theme, such as butterflies, then build on that theme within the flowers with butterfly bridal bouquet jewellery.
- If you're planning a wedding where one or two special colours are the highlight, then accent the flowers chosen with bridal bouquet jewellery in those colours.
Monogram Motif Weddings
Another new and exciting trend is monogram-motif weddings. Monograms refer to the initials of the bride and groom, specifically their newly married last name that they will share as husband and wife.
Personalizing many items used in the ceremony and reception is the main way to support a monogram motif wedding. These wedding accessories may include monogrammed wedding invitations and stationary, monogram wedding cake toppers or personalized unity candles.
Letter-shaped bouquet jewellery can also support this theme. A crystal pin would be placed within the bridal bouquet to signify either the bride’s initial, both the bride and groom’s initials or only the initial of the newly-married couple's last name.
Tips for Enhancing Wedding Flowers using Bridal Bouquet Jewellery
There are many other sentimental and practical reaons to include bridal bouquet jewellery among wedding flowers. For example,
- Memorial sentiments – rather than relying on memorial candles or vases, consider using letter bouquet jewellery with the initials of the loved one who has passed on. Affix them to the bridal bouquet stem to hold the memory of that person near throughout the wedding day.
- Cherish those most dear – allow the corsages and boutonnieres worn by the parents of the bride and groom to really stand out by mixing in bouquet jewellery that complements the wedding décor and signifies the importance of the parents of the special couple.
- From a practical standpoint – use bouquet jewellery among the bridesmaids’ floral bouquets by adorning each bouquet with either its own style of bouquet jewellery or the initials of each bridesmaid to better allow each bridesmaid to properly identify her own bouquet and to create a beautiful keepsake.
- “Wow” factor – use bouquet jewellery throughout the flowers in the table centerpieces not only to accentuate the flowers, but to also impress the guests with their glimering beauty.
Not only is bridal bouquet jewellery new, unique and beautiful, it is also versatile and useful. When used within bridal bouquets, bridesmaids' bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, table centerpieces and virtually any floral arrangement, it offers any wedding a wealth of possibilities in enriching the colour, theme and sentiment of the wedding.
