s well as editing this fabulous magazine, I’m also the fashion editor for all 19 of our County Wedding Magazines and one of the perks of the job is having bridal jewellery images landing in my inbox daily. Here, I’ve rounded up the best of the bling for the bridal party.

“Carrie Bradshaw eat your heart out! I’m a big Sex and the City fan and the television series returning to our screens this summer has inspired many jewellery designs. Think cute name necklaces and you get the idea - perfect for a chic city wedding. Simply add a pair of Manolos!” - Claire

“Muted metallics and rose gold are colours hot off the catwalk and make great keepsake pieces for mothersof-the-bride.” - Claire

“Add something blue into your special day with a sapphire or aquamarine.” – Claire “Pick a personalised piece for him, like stylish cufflinks, a watch or a pocket watch at Farrar & Tanner (www.farrar-tanner.co.uk)..” - Claire

“Grown-up pastels are the shades of the season for bridesmaids with sage-green and soft mauve semi-precious stones a fashionable choice.” – Claire “It’s important that your bridesmaids wear the same jewellery and accessories to look coordinated in the photographs. Choose layered necklaces for festival-themed al fresco celebrations or sparkling cubic zirconia for the perfect party pick.” - Claire

“No one wears diamonds quite like a member of the royal family. So when it comes to choosing your wedding jewellery, look to Her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Diana, Princess of Wales for inspiration.” - Claire

“Don’t shy away from wearing pops of colour against an ivory wedding dress.” - Claire

“I love fashion inspired by the glamorous 1920s era and an Art Deco-themed wedding never goes out of style. Silver, gold and black pieces make a decadent statement.” - Claire

“In the words of the American recording artist Prince, diamonds and pearls marry together for a traditional wedding look.” - Claire

“When searching for the perfect bridesmaid gift, give your best girls something classy to wear on the day of your wedding and at future celebrations.” – Claire “Don’t forget about your hubby-to-be. There has been a 69% increase year-on-year in searches for male engagement ring designs. Check out Cheltenham-based jewellers Metal and Stone for inspiration and bespoke designs (https://metalandstone.co).” - Claire
