Given today’s economic outlook, many brides are interested in saving money on wedding arrangements, but they still want to have a lovely special day. Since I design jewelry for brides and attendants, I'm often asked for ideas on planning the wedding and reception.

Here are some ideas for planning your Special Day that won’t break the bank:

- Rent a gown or wear a pre-owned dress. There are a number of websites that offer good values on gowns and accessories.

- Consider a wedding planner. A good planner might actually save you some money.

- Have your event in the off-season. This can save big bucks in both the cost of the venue and associated costs such as hotel accommodations. Facilities that offer wedding coordinators and other services can save you a lot of money over hiring these services separately.

- Choose your own spot for the reception. Try a restaurant which already has all the facilities – not a rented hall. If you choose a garden setting for your wedding or reception have a fallback location in case of rain.

- Limit the number of guests and attendants

- Prioritize your to-dos and recruit your friends to help you. Make a checklist for everything that needs to be done – vendors, guests, venue, etc., and check things off as all the details are completed. The checklist will really help you to stay on track with your planning and can save you from overlooking things that need to be done.

- Do as many things yourself as you can.

- Consider handmade decorations.

- Forget the engraved invitations in favor of less formal notes and choose a limited color scheme for your invitations, etc. – you'll save a lot on printing costs. You can also use the fonts on your computer and design your own invitations, etc., then get them printed at an on-line printer.

- Create your own dot.com – I’m seeing a lot of these and they really make sense. You can post all the details, photos, and more and e-mail to your friends and family.



Why select handcrafted artisan jewelry for your wedding? Sometime ago, I realized that my handcrafted jewelry designs would be perfect for brides, since many brides prefer handmade and handcrafted items for their wedding and reception. My handmade bridal jewelry offers a beautiful high quality alternative to mass-produced pieces. My bridal jewelry designs are one-of-a-kind, handcrafted for you – no two pieces are exactly alike.

In wedding jewelry designs, I offer made-to-order handmade tiaras and headpieces for the bride and also for her attendants. I have several tiara designs in the Bridal/Wedding area of my website – tiaras created in pearls and crystal or in rhinestones - but these one-of-a-kind tiara styles are really just suggestions. I can create the design you see in your choice of silver or gold with your favorite gemstones and crystals or I can design a tiara just for you. My silver tiaras can be created in sterling silver and also in long lasting quality silver plate. My 14/20 gold-filled handcrafted tiaras are an elegant alternative to karat gold. All of these choices are heirloom-quality bridal jewelry that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

My headpieces are delicate lightweight art jewelry creations handcrafted in your choice of gemstone beads braided and twisted with gold or sterling silver and Swarovski crystal. These headpiece designs range from garland-like designs in beads and silver or gold to smaller pieces that are designed to pin into your hair or anchor your veil. These art jewelry hair accessories can be as simple or as elaborate as you desire. I can design individual handcrafted pieces for each member of the wedding party or coordinate designs for a “sophisticated” look .

Don’t forget the other members of the wedding party – a small piece of jewelry makes a wonderful gift for the bridesmaids and attendants and the mother of the bride would look wonderful in a handcrafted pearl and crystal necklace.

Since I began my handmade art jewelry bridal line, it’s grown to include several styles of handcrafted art jewelry crystal and pearl necklaces, a large variety of gorgeous crystal and pearl earrings, and gemstone bracelets. I create the handcrafted bracelets one link at a time in silver and gemstones.
