Teal and Fuchsia Colour Scheme

I'm often asked to make pieces for brides (usually for their bridesmaids!) in wonderful colours. There are some that get asked for over and over again, and others that are really unusual combinations, but that look absolutely amazing when they are put together with the right shades. However, if there is one thing i've learnt over the years, its that most of the time, its very difficult for brides to visualise how something is going to look, without actually seeing a "draft" first.

So I thought it might be useful to put together some inspiration boards for various colour schemes, just to give an overall idea of how some colours look together. Hopefully I can make this a regular feature of the blog, and to kickstart things, i'm starting with teal and fuchsia. Teal is often a very difficult colour to match, and I often find myself suggesting that brides work with various tones, rather than spending much sweat, blood and tears finding an exact match. Here you can see how several shades of teals and pinks work really well together.







If you click on any of the images above you will be taken to the website of the company that offers the product shown. The crystal bouquet and teal bridal earrings are both available in other colours as well, so do get in touch if you like the style!

So with any luck you'll find this is a regular feature of my blog - and if you have a particular colour scheme that you would like to see featured, please leave us a comment below and we'll hopefully fit you in!

Crystal Bouquets Updated

I've been working on the website today. Couldn't really do much more as Austin decided he wanted to spend as much time as possible in my arms, and protested rather loudly if he found himself anywhere else! So it was down to some 1-handed web design, wow that takes some time!

I had a couple of new bouquet designs that needed to be uploaded, as well as the Mini Lotus design in a different colourway, and a buttonhole and corsage to match the Posy Bouquet. You can view these designs in all their glory here: Crystal Bouquets


Of course, as with all of my work, these are created with gorgeous Swarovski crystals, the Mini Lotus also uses cream Swarovski Pearls. I think these bouquets are fab for bridesmaids, and can consist of any combination of Swarovski colours. You can also see it in teal shades on my website.

I do have a couple of other pieces that I really want to upload to my Etsy shop, but I can hear the baby boy waking up again so that might have to wait until tomorrow...
