Crowning glory

Whatwith last month’s incredible coronation and the launch of Netflix’s Queen Charlotte, I’m reeling from all things royal at the moment, and feeling very proud indeed to be British! Whether you’re a royalist yourselves, or merely found your May all the merrier being blessed with an extra bank holiday, there’s been something to celebrate. I always think of our readers as queens and kings, princess and princes, and believe you all deserve the royal treatment on your big day, so why not consider adding a regal edge to your nuptials?

Jewel-toned colour palettes are certainly seeing a surge in popularity, thanks to their opulent, rich hues; and shades such as purple and red have long been associated with royalty. When it comes to dining, think banqueting tables bedecked in gold cutlery and crystal, with tall candelabra and centrepieces. Of course, add this styling to a stately home wedding venue and you’re there!

When it comes to your attire, what could be more royal than a ballgown? Pair a full, extravagant skirt with a dramatic train and veil, and you’ll have guests gasping as you make your grand entrance. If you like this idea, but fear the volume will impede you on the dancefloor, opt for a detachable skirt, allowing you to transform your look into a sleek silhouette for the evening. Finally, your very own crown is a must-have for this theme, whether it’s a flower version for a Queen Titania twist or a bejewelled tiara.

As we enter the summer well and truly ready for some sunshine, don’t miss our host of styled shoots and real weddings this issue, all waiting to inspire as you plan for your big day.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

New Collections And Birthday Celebrations

Brighton’s Jeremy Hoye is a name synonymous with jewellery design excellence and his shop, approaching it’s 30th anniversary, has become a must-visit destination for anyone looking for high quality jewellery. In celebration of this milestone, his new collections offer affordable and showstopping pieces in his signature style. Forest and Luna, like many of his designs, draw inspiration from nature.

Forest is a beautifully textured design with a natural flowing feel that catches the light to dazzling effect. Inspired by the ripples of sand on the seashore or tree bark from forest walks, these pieces are about evoking memories.

The iconic Luna collection, on the other hand, is designed especially for the individualist! Inspired by the surface of the moon, with its undulating plains of craters and valleys, Luna offers a fantastic selection of unusual wedding rings for men and women in addition to silver rings, necklaces, bracelets. Every item from this collection can be made in silver, gold or platinum.

Jeremy says, “Whether you’re looking for a piece of jewellery for a special occasion or just because, there’s something for everyone. I create unique and timeless treasures that last well beyond any passing fashion trends, truly standing the test of time. I believe that’s been the secret to longevity and success over the years.”
