A while back I created Real Flower jewelry for a local bride to be worn with her lehengha for her Haldi function (during her wedding). Many Brides who saw it wanted similar jewelry for their wedding but they were disappointed as real flower jewelry cannot be “shipped” and they found the option of using artificial flowers – either silk or paper not in line with their vision.
However, This wedding season I see a change. More and more brides and their families welcome nicely made artificial flower jewelry because it is cost effective, it can be reused, it can be shipped anywhere and it can be made in any color combination to match the bridal outfit.
Here are two very similar sets made for two different brides – One from India and the other from Australia. Though both wanted Yellow and purple combination to match with their sarees; I made subtle changes in each of the sets to better suit the individual brides. so how do I do this?
Custom Design Process
I normally don’t undertake custom orders until and unless I know the person well, for I believe that a truly bespoke piece should reflect the personality of the wearer. But I prefer to do custom work for brides as I think what we create should be in line with their vision for their “Big day”. When I work with brides, I ask them for pictures of the outfits they are planning to wear along with their full photo and close up face shot. This way I can gauge their body type, face shape and recommend shapes or lengths of jewelry that would suit them better. I also like to interact with them to learn more about their likes and dislikes helping me understand what it is that they are looking for. I finally show them samples and send pictures of finished work for changes before I ship the product. Its a lot of work but it is satisfying knowing that these pieces will be cherished forever in the form of wedding pictures.

So what do you think of artificial floral bridal jewelry particularly Ribbon flower jewelry? Will it stay on as a fashion or just fade of as a Fad? Stay tuned as I will back soon with another post on Bridal flower jewelry with a mulberry paper rose jewelry set. It was a big set with 10 ornaments that looked very pretty, making me want something similar for myself.
