When choosing wedding bridal accessories for your UK wedding, the possibilities seem endless. Take bouquets, for example. If your bouquet is made from fresh flowers, no doubt it will be beautiful. But once the wedding is done, it will begin to fade, taking with it some of the memories of this important day. Although many brides dry and preserve their bouquets, the reality is that these shrivelled and unattractive mementos are hardly reflective of the joy and love expressed at the wedding itself. Wouldn't it be great to have a bouquet that will look beautiful on your wedding day and also stand the test of time? Then why not choose one of our permanent bouquets? Here's some information about three of these elegant and appealing bridal party accessories.

The Crown Jewels Bouquet

Made entirely by hand using European beading techniques, the Crown Jewels Bouquet is an heirloom-quality item worthy of being proudly displayed. The bouquet's design elements include delicate glass beads, freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals and pearls, all of which are skilfully crafted into an unforgettable design. A final touch is the addition of three charming feather butterflies that symbolize the transition from the separate lives of the bride and groom to the united life they will be living together. This bouquet stands well on its own but also coordinates with other items in our Crown Jewels collection, such as bridal tiaras, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and wedding favours.

The Beach Bouquet

Another completely handmade item, this bouquet is perfect for weddings on the shore. A beach is where the land and sea intermingle, and as such symbolizes the union of the bride and groom in marriage. Our Beach Bouquet features the lavish use of tiny glass seed beads, freshwater pearls as well as crystals and pearls from Swarovski. Unique touches include delightful seashell charms in pewter. The colour palette is inspired by sand and surf: soft sandy-beige tones along with azure and aqua. Ivory and silver details finish the look. The final touch on this beautiful but naturalistic bouquet is an organza bow in silver. The bouquet coordinates perfectly with wedding hair accessories, and other items in our Beach Bride Collection.

The Classic Bouquet

The nostalgic Classic Bouquet is perfect for traditional weddings. Crafted totally by hand, this bouquet uses glass beads, Swarovski pearls, Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls to underscore its timeless look with nostalgic touches. The blending of cream and white Stems are crafted from silver plated wire. Other touches include ivory satin ribbon and a silver organza bow. This bouquet was an "Editor's Choice" selection in Wedding Ideas magazine and works well with wedding shoes and wedding gloves in the same colour palette.

Our bouquets will lend a true designer look to your UK wedding in a way that other wedding bridal accessories, such as bridal headpieces and bridal veils, cannot.
