When you choose to work with J’Adorn Designs for your custom & couture wedding accessories, you get: • An easy process from start to finish, with personal consultations and updates on the progress of your order all along the way • The ability to bring your dream wedding day look to life without having to become a “DIY bride” • Expert craftsmanship of accessories made with high quality materials • The option to personalize at every level to create the perfect piece for your individual taste, including sizing, metal types, and color adjustments.
the designer Alison Jefferies discovered her passion for personalized bridal accessories in late 2011 when she was planning her own wedding and was dissatisfied with the jewelry offerings she found at bridal shops. She opted to make a set of matching jewelry for her own bridesmaids instead, and just a few months later opened an online shop for her creations. A self-taught jewelry designer and artisan, she founded J’Adorn Designs in early 2012 and has been refining her craft ever since. She is inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the individual love stories of the couples she works with. She strives to honor these love stories with excellent craftsmanship as exquisite as the love they reflect and prides herself on the meticulous attention to detail, high quality, and intuitive customer service for which her work has become known.

the inspired CU STO M ACCE SSORIE S
A bit more time-intensive but no less streamlined a process for the busy bride, this option is ideal for clients with a specific vision in mind.
HOW IT WORK S:
• After an initial retainer to reserve dates on the designer’s schedule, we will schedule a consultation in person or via video chat to discuss your taste, budget, and other preferences. • After our consultation, we will provide you with preliminary sketches to review and approve, with two rounds of revisions if needed. • Once the sketches have been approved, we will send a design proposal and invoice outlining prices and materials for each individual piece. • Full payment is due at the time of the proposal/invoice, after which we get right to work on your custom accessories order. • When your jewelry order is finished, we gift wrap each piece by hand using a keepsake muslin bag and gift box, tied with a ribbon in the color of your choice, then send it straight to you!
