MAKE it Special: Handmade Wedding Accessories

We spoke to the founder, maker and designer behind The Glam Bijoux about her beautiful creations and how to make them!

Silvina specialises in the world of florals and she can help you craft the perfect accessory to accompany you down the aisle:

"Whether you are looking for a classic rose, peony, orchid or a unique and creative design, I have the skills and creativity to bring your vision to life. From necklace corsages to bouquet arrangements and other decorative elements, I will work with you to create the perfect wedding decorations that will leave a lasting impression on you and your guests."

All of Silvina's creations are bespoke and will make any couple feel special on their wedding day knowing they have handmade details made with lots of love for their special occasion. Now, let's see how Silvina creates her floral accessories for a behind the scene experience in the art of wedding design: 

"When designing clay flowers I am inspired by nature and the beautiful soul of each flower. This is why each piece is a unique amulet that you will wear and will bring you beauty, peace and serenity. The delicate and intricate details of the flowers can remind you of the beauty and simplicity of nature and make you feel more connected to it."

 

Materials

 

Drying Clay

Floral tape in different colours

Moulds and veiners for petals and leaves

Made to Perfection

For her jewellery and decorative pieces Silvina uses drying clay: "For me the best brand is Hearty Clay, it is soft, it is light and flexible to create beautiful flowers." Another reason is the sustainable aspect of using air-drying clay as a material. It is a natural, non-toxic material that does not require mining or extraction from the earth, making it a more environmentally friendly option. After the flower is dry she handpaints it with powder colours to give it the shades it needs to look like a fresh flower. Clay flowers are durable over time and are not affected by the sun or humidity and are perfect for decorating a kitchen window, living room, bathroom, and bedroom, so you can always keep your favourite flower that accompanied you on your big day.

Clay flowers are a perfect choice for your wedding or event because they never wilt, they don't need water to look beautiful, and you can keep them as a keepsake of your big day, it doesn't matter if it's not a seasonal flower because she can design it for you.

With clay flowers, you can have a beautiful corsage necklace for your bridesmaids, a single flower bouquet which is a trend in 2023 and is here to stay, floral place card holders for your guests, floral card holders for the menu and guest list, cake topper, as you can use a clay flower bouquet as decoration on your cake and much more...
