Bridal choker necklaces are back in demand as a regal touch is added to wedding day looks
Teamed with delicate pearl earrings for that touch of sensuality……….
Accessories such as wraps, gloves and dainty handbags are a much a nod towards the modesty of turn of the Century fashions as they are practical nice-to-haves for a winter wedding…………..
Delicate pearl necklaces as well as the ubiquitous ‘flapper style’ long pearl strands have always been popular choices for wedding jewellery but have enjoyed a resurgence with the general Art Deco wedding trends.
Finally, what better way to complete your look than by adding a fabulous vintage or antique brooch?

Bridal and Wedding Trends 2012
So the question has been popped, the venue booked and now for the most important part – shopping! Where to begin? What’s in, what’s out, what are the hot trends on the bridal scene? We’ve put together a fab synopsis of ideas influenced by the leading bridal designers on the international catwalks and suggestions of some of our beautiful bridal accessories…………
TRENDS BY VINTAGE ERA
VICTORIANA
Underwear becomes outerwear – Victorian corsets (and high necklines, more of which later) have made their way from the fashion runways to bridal runways. Chokers are key to achieving the elegance of this look, teamed up with crystal teardrops on all accessories.
ART DECO
Art Deco influences continue to delight – think geometric patterns, long pearls and lots of fringes!
1930s
Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow style reinvented through dropped waist, swishy gowns – team with hints of Deco style and a flourish of feathers……
1940s
The ‘Golden Age’ of Hollywood – add a dash of Katherine Hepburn glamour with our fab vintage inspired hair accessories and check out our REAL vintage jewellery and brooches to complete your look.
1970s
Boho chic, gypsy feel (but less ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding’ and more of a sassy ethnic twist) – go for gold to achieve that sun-kissed St Tropez touch of magic!
TRENDS BY DRESS STYLE
BALLERINA
Black Swan when she was still White! Ethereal, romantic , sweet- add delicate accessories with the lightest of touches.
LACE
All hail Princess Kate for allowing us to rediscover the fabulousness of lace – regal, understated beauty. Pearls with lace – strawberries with cream – can’t have one without the other…….
OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
Grace Kelly drama with a sophisticated sense of style – check out our multistrand pearl necklaces and classic style earrings which work a treat with this look.
RUFFLES
Did they ever go away? Anyway they’re back and bigger than ever! Delightful, frothy girly – team with our fabulous spray pins and organza cuff for that light-as-air feel.
HALTERNECKS
Developing the Victoriana theme, designers are buttoning us up at the neck – but don’t panic, with their sheer overlays, these halternecks are anything but prudish – team with chandelier earrings and a fabulous multi-layered bracelet for a statement look.
SCULPTURAL
For the modernista, city chic bride, clean simple lines which work great with Deco geometrics or can be softened with the addition of a structured flower (orchids are great).
SHORT
1960s influences creeping through here, capturing the trend for a second bridal ‘dance’ dress (one where your legs are unemcumbered with a ton of organza!) – bigger, bolder accessories suit this look – go for noticeable, dramatic statement pieces.
