How to choose floral wedding jewellery for a boho look?

The boho style is deeply bound up with nature, with the gentle life and above all with pure love. It is a romantic style, perfectly suited to a wedding, and its beauty wins everyone over. When a bride decides to take up this theme, it is important that her dress and all her bridal accessories sit well together. Princesse d'un Jour jewellery invites you to discover its boho wedding collection, designed and made in my workshop in the heart of the countryside at Bellerive-sur-Allier, in the Auvergne.

Finding the perfect harmony between botanically inspired jewellery and a dress that is sometimes richly worked, trimmed with romantic materials such as lace, takes a little searching. My boho inspired collections are there to win you over and to help you choose handmade, floral pieces that will bring your bridal outfit to life. You will discover how the delicate union of mother of pearl flowers and fine metalwork turns every accessory into something exceptional, promising a look that is both romantic and quite unforgettable for this very special day.

— Choosing materials, and the symbolism of the organic —

— Mother of pearl flowers and pearly beads first and foremost

I favour mother of pearl flowers for their delicacy and for the elegant way they catch the light. I choose my flowers with care, and every year a new flower is designed specially for my brand. I then assemble that flower with delicate 925 silver chains, pearls and crystals to create a new collection for the bride, comprising the complete set: the necklace with its matching back jewel, the bracelet, the back necklace, the earrings and a head piece. For a bride, a complete set matters enormously: within a single collection, she must be able to find every piece she needs.

Authenticity also lies in freshwater pearls, whose irregular shapes speak of untamed nature.

— The quiet sparkle of crystals and fine gold finishes

To catch the light discreetly, I work in cubic zirconia stones and Swarovski crystals. They give off a subtle, sunlit sparkle, bringing just the right amount of light to the bride's face.

Rose gold and gold finishes recall the warmth of ripe wheat, rooting the piece in a botanical aesthetic. The delicacy of a well chosen gold finish turns a simple accessory into an organic collector's piece.

— 3 rules for matching jewellery and outfit —

Once the materials are chosen, it is a question of matching them to your silhouette for a faultless result.

— Striking a balance between a V neckline and back necklaces

A backless wedding dress calls for a lovely back necklace, which will show that romantic neckline at its best. In the boho spirit, my Gardania back necklace will bring a delicate touch to your boho bridal look. If your dress has richly worked lace, go for fine, pared back boho wedding jewellery.

— Working floral ornaments into your hair

Your chignon pins and your necklace and earring set need to sit well together. If you are crowning your head with flowers, I would recommend drop earrings of absolute discretion, so as not to overload the head.

My floral chignon pins are trimmed with the same materials as my boho wedding jewellery sets. So you will find my lovely mother of pearl sakura flowers both in your Gardania necklace and in your bridal chignon, thanks to the matching Gardania chignon pins.

These delicate pieces will be perfect in a soft, undone hairstyle for the most romantic of looks.

— Handmade, personalised creations —

— How do you choose your finish to suit your skin tone?

Gold finishes warm olive skin tones wonderfully, bringing an immediate sunlit glow. Silver, on the other hand, flatters very fair skin and pink undertones with rare elegance. It is an essential harmony.

A handmade piece of jewellery has a soul of its own, the fruit of patient, painstaking work. I shape every piece by hand, like the Gardania boho wedding necklace, so that it is unique to your wedding.

Adjusting the length of a necklace means it sits perfectly on your frame. At Princesse d'un Jour, every piece is made to order and can be personalised on request.

— Caring for your pieces after the ceremony, and passing them on

Keep your wedding accessories as lovely as they were by keeping 925 silver away from damp. Store your jewellery in the airtight pouch I provide, away from light and air, so that it keeps its lasting glow.

Your bridesmaids could wear a matching bracelet, such as the Gardania boho bracelet, as a gentle echo of your floral theme. That small thought creates a very elegant, refined visual unity in the photographs. The whole wedding party sits in harmony.

A piece of boho wedding jewellery is a living memory, passed on with feeling.

Choosing a boho set means inviting the poetry of nature to celebrate your marriage. The subtle union of mother of pearl flowers and precious metals turns each handmade ornament into a keepsake that is yours alone. Showing your silhouette at its best with real refinement, these timeless pieces remain the luminous guardians of your dearest memories.

FAQ

Why choose mother of pearl flowers for a boho wedding set?

Mother of pearl flowers stand for nature's triumph over time, and give you the certainty of beauty that will not change throughout your celebration. Unlike fresh flowers, which risk wilting, my delicate hand cut mother of pearl flowers keep their glow and their luminosity, so you look faultless from your first vows to the end of the evening. I favour them because they become a lasting keepsake, a timeless witness to your marriage that you can treasure long after the day itself.

How does the union of pearly beads and flowers lift a boho look?

Bringing together pearly beads and floral elements creates a striking visual harmony, playing on the contrast between the matt surface of the pearl and the iridescence of mother of pearl. That pairing stands for the meeting of earth and water, giving your outfit an organic, sophisticated dimension. With its sometimes irregular shape and its milky softness, the pearl ennobles the floral composition without ever smothering it, lending the bride a wild, refined elegance.

What do crystals and cubic zirconia bring to a floral composition?

Working crystals or zirconia subtly into floral jewellery is like adding drops of dew that catch the light. These sparkling touches are not there to dominate, but to wake up the softness of the flowers with a discreet, enchanting play of brilliance. I recommend these finishes to bring a note of preciousness and light that will illuminate your face, striking a perfect balance between the natural feel of the boho style and a sense of occasion.

Should you choose a gold or a silver finish to stay true to the boho spirit?

Above all, your choice of metal should suit your skin tone and the shade of your dress, while keeping to the warm spirit of the boho style. Gold finishes, which call to mind ripe wheat and sunshine, warm olive skin tones wonderfully and sit beautifully with ivory or champagne dresses. Silver and white gold, on the other hand, bring a moonlit, crystalline freshness, ideal for showing very fair skin or pure white outfits at their best, while keeping that sought after handmade nobility.

How do you make sure your jewellery lasts after the ceremony?

So that your accessories remain a faithful reflection of your exceptional day, keep them away from damp and from direct sunlight, which could dull their colour. Do store them carefully in their original airtight pouch, away from dust and rubbing. Treated with the respect due to a work of art, your floral jewellery will last for years, ready to be passed on as a precious keepsake.
