Wedding bouquet keepsake

My original pine resin crystals are synonymous with elegance and a touch of Lost Forest magic. They have become a popular choice for brides who ask me to create a wearable keepsake of their wedding day. This crystal was commissioned by a client of mine who wanted to save a small portion of her bridal bouquet. I designed and created this beautiful crystal for her with delicate sprigs of Limonium or 'Sea Lavender' and my signature watercolour swirl and 24k gold leaf gilding. The rich tone of the purple dye with the gold leaf creates a beautifully stylish piece of jewellery. The Limonium's elongated form majestically drift within the natural pine resin. 

The result is a fashionable and sentimental piece of jewellery that will be cherished forever. If you'd like your own keepsake of your big day, you can send me an enquiry here.

Love, love me do...bridal jewellery

A beautiful way to preserve your wedding bouquet is within a sparkling Lost Forest pine resin jewel. This 'bouquet bangle' was made for a lovely customer of mine who wanted me to create a special memento of her big day. I always love to make wedding keepsakes; they hold precious memories and symbolism for the couple, and will become treasured heirlooms to be passed down through the generations.

This organic shaped bangle encapsulated a portion of her bouquet. Ivory toned roses, woodland ferns and tiny botanic elements from her husbands boutonnière danced within the crystal clear resin. The other half of the band featured a piece of Irish birch bark; an eternal reminder of her connection to her husbands Irish ancestry. I then added some glittering shards of 24k gold leaf to complete this stunning and unique bangle.

Wedding Bells & Bouquet Bangles

Over the last 5 years I've been making my 'Bouquet Bangles' and other little jewellery mementos from beautiful wedding bouquets. It was a unique idea of mine and one I continue with today, having made numerous sparkling eco resin jewels for brides all around the world. I love to work on these projects as they mark such a special moment in everyone's life.

The hours of workmanship, months of procrastination and planning that go into making a bouquet all culminate in one day of admiration and then sadly the bouquets are often thrown away or dried and stored in a box; forgotten about and left to gather dust. The bouquet bangles offer a renewed lease of life. To have a little reminder of the 'big day' and one you can also wear is all the more precious. 

If you'd like your own bouquet made into a bangle, necklace, earrings or even a paperweight or Puddle Plate, please get in touch here to discuss your project.
