Yay, another wedding to share with you on the blog. I love sharing weddings. This time our rose gold garland hair comb was worn by the beautiful Gillian on her special day. Gillian and her husband, Paul, had a beautiful Winter wedding in the Western Cape. All images by Modern Hearts.
I always love to see pics of how my customers wear their SMITH jewellery, but this was even more exciting as I was commissioned by Minette to create something custom especially for her wedding.
