Giving your flowers sparkle or as I often refer to it adding a little bit of bling!

Jewels that Catch the Light

If you want to add a bit of a twinkle to your bouquet flowers then why not think about adding diamante pins into the centre of your flowers. Featuring these pins in your bouquet gives you a beautiful delicate jewelled look. Some brides choose to have them in their bouquet and sometimes in the bridesmaids or other times we just place them in the bridal bouquet to make her bouquet look even more special.

Diamante clusters are also another popular choice. These work particularly well in mixed bouquets, where you have several different flowers grouped together. The clusters sit really well in-between the flower heads.

You can use both of these options in all the different shapes of bouquets. Some people also decide to feature them in the buttonholes and corsages. It just depends on how much of a magpie you are! They are a really nice addition to the bridal bouquet if the wedding gown also has diamante beads on it.

At Pure Botanics we now have a wonderful selection of diamante brooches that look stunning when placed with ribbon on the handle of the brides bouquet, so don’t forget to ask us about those. They fit in really well with the recent trend for vintage style weddings, which have been very popular this year.

You can also add diamantes to your table arrangements by adding clusters into the flowers and foliages. Another ideas is to add diamante beads to grass detailing like steelgrass and beargrass, which tend to hang down nicely when adorned with beads.

It’s amazing what a different dimension adding a detail like diamantes can add to an arrangement and you don’t have to add too much to get an effective look.
