Planning

There's something really special about creating your unique wedding day look with accessories and jewellery. The icing on the cake as it were. Reflecting your personality and bridal style might mean one bold, statement piece, or smaller delicate pieces to compliment your beautiful gown, but either way, the handcrafted luxury jewellery from Laura Rhodes is almost certainly going to fit the bill. If you're not content with an item in the collection, Laura's star in the crown (see what I did there), is her bespoke service to work with you to create something truly unique. Here comes the pretty... Laura Rhodes combines modern luxe with the hand-crafted skills of time gone by. With a background in the creative industry, the Laura Rhodes collection is inspired by a love of art, architecture and nature. The Muse collection is influenced by the women in Laura's life with Santorini and Wildflower both inspired by summers spent in rural Yorkshire and on the Greek isles. Every design is sketched, hand-crafted and packaged from a studio in Yorkshire with great pride taken in each piece. Laura is a Yorkshire girl and mummy of three. With a keen interest in art, from an early age she went on to study and then work in 3D and interior design, later teaching Art & Design. Jewellery was always a creative outlet which unexpectedly turned into a business when requests for bridal designs became more frequent. Today Laura creates both mainline and bridal collections in a combination of techniques never limiting creativity. Accessories and jewellery allow a bride to bring their own character into their bridal look wether it be a large statement piece or something simple, we love the fact that most pieces can be worn again after your wedding day. The new Santorini and Wildflower collections are now available to order online at laurarhodesjewellery.com or from stockists. Bespoke design requests are always welcome.  
TESTIMONIALS

“Laura made a bespoke head piece for my wedding. I hadn't found anything that I really liked in the shops and Laura designed something for me that would match the style of my wedding dress. It was absolutely beautiful and I got so many comments about it on my wedding day. Laura also made me some matching earrings that were also beautiful. I was so glad I got my jewellery from Laura, I would highly recommend her.” Sarah

“My necklace is truly stunning. Amazing quality and just what I wanted. I couldn't find anything I liked and Laura helped me chose the perfect necklace to match my dress and even let me customise it and matched it to my other bridal accessories. I'm honestly amazed. I can't wait to see my bracelet! Xx” Olletta
