A last minute lockdown wedding in Wales!
custom bridal jewellery welsh wedding

Here’s a little something I knocked up rather swiftly for a beautiful lockdown wedding in Wales!

The bride and groom were originally going to be married in the summer of 2020, and then due to covid, changed their date to the end of October….and THEN Wales announced a second lockdown, and so within 36 hours the wedding was brought forward to just a few days away!

Can you imagine the stress and organisation the bride and groom had! But they worked very hard and pulled off an elegant and beautiful small wedding celebration, and plan to have their big party in a year or so!

Jewellery-wise, the bride wanted customised jewellery for her bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, grandmother, and a little something for herself!

We discussed options and decided upon woven heart bracelets for her bridesmaids in her wedding colours, with the heart pattern also being lovely and romantic for a wedding! She chose a metallic dark grey, royal blue, and dusky lilac.

For her wedding party, she chose simple creamy pearl bracelets with shimmering grey Swarovski pearls, to bring in the grey of her wedding colours.

And for herself, she chose simple silver hoops with a single heart shaped pearl. They were delicate and elegant, and she can also wear them regularly after her wedding day, and so will have a memento she can get regular use of and remember her special day.

Due to the change in date, these jewels were prioritised and I made them all in just two days - and so always get in touch even if it’s a tight turnaround, I will do my absolute best to help you out!

It's been a minute - post-lockdown update :p

Hi hi hi!

This is my first blog update in a long long time!

I guess like for everyone, the last six months have been a surreal experience here for me in Plymouth. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I still only leave the house about once a week (insert laughing face emoji here!).

If you ever look through the photos on my phone (which I always think is the best way of remembering a time), the last six months has pretty much been very slow house DIY, food, gardening and beads.

Lockdown and staying home has made me super grateful for so many things, one of them being able to continue to make jewellery and send orders. Not only has it kept my brain occupied and given me a reason to get dressed in the morning (yep!), YOU GUYS have kept me sane and entertained with your messages, photos, stories and everything else on Instagram.

So thank you! Sometimes seeing your outfits made me change from my loungewear (ahem, joggers) into a nice summer skirt, and it really did perk me up. 

I could write so much here, but I will leave you with some of my photo memories from the last six months and keep it nice and short :-)

Chessie King wearing the orange Safari Charm earrings

My favourite Instagram “influencer” Chessie King chose to wear her orange Shh by Sadie Safari Charm earrings for the launch of her book Be Your Own Best Friend.
Chessie’s written a fantastic book based on her own experiences and advice, and it is sure to be a best-seller.
