If it’s a trend, I want to make this one stick around forever. The personal touch is everything in weddings right now. From natural wedding photos to sustainable styling and artful, organic floral design, couples are looking for meaningful touches to make weddings unforgettable.
The lean towards authentic and hand made weddings is a wonderful thing. With tech overload from social media piling the pressure onto wedding planning, AI worming its way into wedding speech writing and print factories muscling in on wedding invites, the backlash is real. Couples are taking time to seek out beautiful, handmade pieces for their weddings.

Few bridal accessories possess the poetic grace and enduring allure of drop pearl earrings. With their fluid elegance and understated opulence, they have long been favoured by brides seeking a refined, timeless expression of beauty. Neither ostentatious nor fleeting, drop pearl earrings combine tradition, femininity, and a quiet luxury that transcends fashion trends. If you’re a bride who understands that true elegance lies in simplicity, they will be your ultimate finishing touch.
When it comes to weddings, every detail matters — and the jewellery you choose should be just as special as the day itself. At Emma Rose Jewellery, we’re delighted to unveil our new Crystal Coloured Jewellery Collection: a kaleidoscope of shimmering teardrop necklace and earring sets, lovingly designed for the modern bridal party.
Whether you’re styling your bridesmaids, gifting the mother of the bride, or creating a custom look for a destination “I do,” our vibrant new pieces add just the right touch of colour, sparkle, and sentiment.
