Clearance Sale

IMPORTANT: There is a Mai Pearls Clearance Sale online for 48 hours starting from midday next Wednesday (Dec 14) to midday next Friday. Be sure to take a look.

After an amazing and rewarding 6 years of Mai Pearls, the time has come for me to look into new ventures. Sadly the Mai Pearls website will be shut at the end of December or January. I will be sure to let you know if I decide to open Mai Pearls again in the future.

Winter Wedding Dresses

Winter is not a time of year known for weddings, but there are some aspects of the season that can make a wedding truly beautiful, such as snowy landscapes in pictures (when we actually get snow) and a fairytale feeling to the whole day.
Obviously you can wear any dress you like on your wedding day, however, winter wedding dresses have some particular themes that are not always seen. These are some of my favourites:
Delicate sleeves:

Creative ways of using jewellery (not necessarily wintery):

I hope this has given some inspiration.
