Choosing to incorporate Dune Jewelry’s personalized beach sand jewelry into my destination wedding was such a beautiful experience!<\/span><\/p>\n

From the moment I chose my bridesmaids, the women who matter the most to me in this world, I knew I wanted to give them a special keepsake on my wedding day. Joe had already taken care of his groomsmen, presenting his longtime friends\u2014a lively group that includes software developers and professional bookmakers<\/a> who flew in from Europe\u2014with personalized leather travel kits for the weekend. For my side of the bridal party, I wanted this \u201cthank you\u201d to be something they could gracefully wear on the day of the wedding. Not only would this piece help elevate their look as we walked down the aisle, but it would also be something they could wear again and again as a reminder of this trip and their unique role in it.<\/p>\n

Because Dune\u2019s sandbank collection is endless, I was luckily able to find sand elements from the exact beach in St. Maarten where I would say \u201cI do.\u201d They also have endless unique handmade jewelry options including the elegant, cascading<\/span> raindrop earrings<\/span><\/a> made with sterling silver, that I ultimately decided upon. These earrings not only incorporated the beach sand, but also tied in mother of pearl elements to further accentuate a bridal feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew jewelry this special would have to be shared with my mother, my new mother-in-law, and my niece, who was also my flower girl.<\/span><\/p>\n

I chose the vintage<\/span>\u00a0Vivienne earrings<\/a><\/span> for the mother-of-the-bride, and the simple Sandglobe earrings<\/a> for my mother-in-law, while the Delicate Dune Heart Necklace<\/a> was the perfect choice for my flower girl. Not only did everyone look stunning in their custom beach jewelry, but they were all so heartened by the thought behind them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dune\u2019s experiential ocean-inspired jewelry is the perfect memento to celebrate life\u2019s milestone moments. I can\u2019t wait to customize a piece for myself with the sand I collected from our ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Dune, along with your helpful and knowledgeable team, for making my special day so much more meaningful!<\/span><\/p>\n
