Parure de mariée “Camélia mauve” by Princesse d’un Jour
Most wedding dresses are either white or ivory, and we tend to match our jewellery and bridal accessories. But for some of us, it's all too white! So today we're going to look at coloured wedding jewellery and accessories.
I remember a photo of an American bride I went to school with, who chose to wear red shoes with her ivory wedding dress. Like any self-respecting American, she had a host of ‘bridesmaids’ who all wore red dresses to match the bride's shoes. Very original and great to see in the photos! This gave me some ideas for a bridal look that was a little out of the ordinary.
How to choose your colour?
There are several elements that can be chosen in colour to bring a touch of colour that really contrasts with the pure white or ivory of the dress. Firstly, the shoes. Some brands offer bridal shoes that can be dyed to the desired colour. So you can start by choosing the colour you want and have your shoes exactly the same shade. Pretty cool.
With that in mind, the shoes aren't the first thing to go. The same goes for the bridal bouquet, where your florist will be able to make you a bouquet in your colours without any difficulty thanks to the multitude of flower varieties available. The most complicated part will be finding coloured bridal jewellery, so start by defining the exact colour.
A wide choice of colours at Princesse d'un Jour
Whether it's pink, parma, burgundy, red, black, chocolate, apple green, violet, honey or emerald, you'll find the colour of your dreams among all those on offer at Princesse d'un Jour. It's true that not all jewellery is available in all colours, as it's made by hand to order. So you sometimes have to use your imagination to get an idea of what a certain model will look like in a colour other than the one shown in the photo.
Nevertheless, the beauty of the pearls and crystals used in Princesse d'un Jour creations means that the result will undoubtedly be up to scratch.
Once you've chosen a piece of jewellery, you can use this colour to tint your shoes and choose the flowers for your bridal bouquet. The colour can also be used in the groom's waistcoat or on the dresses of the bridesmaids, whether tall or short.
