Earlier this year I was lucky enough to marry my best friend, and it was a happy and love filled day. If you have been a long term reader of Beauty and Lace, you would know how much we adore the Oh My Giddy Aunt online store. Over the years the owner, Nikki has become a virtual online friend as well as being an inspiring business women – and my special day would not have been quite the same without a piece from her store.
With a simple, knee length white lace wedding dress I needed something to add some glamour and the piece I chose was a beautiful heart shaped locket in 9ct yellow gold. As you can see by the following image it has embossed scroll work with a plain back:
I love the vintage style, I was even asked on the day if it was handed down from my mother as it really looks like something worth cherishing through the generations. It was certainly a stand out piece, and I kept my earrings minimal.
I paired this with a beautiful gold chain, as you can see here:
To add to the vintage glam of this heart shaped locket, it does actually open up allowing you to place a precious photograph inside:
If you like, Oh My Giddy Aunt can even personalise the back for you with hand engraving services available. The yellow gold really stands out with a traditional and stylish effect – but if gold isn’t for you this also comes in rose or white gold. While I went for the larger size, this is also available in a smaller design if you prefer.
I am so glad I could wear this on my wedding day (and beyond), as it is something you don’t see every day. The Oh My Giddy Aunt online store has recently had a makeover and is packed with pieces just like this one – with something for every occasion.
This has an RRP of $345.95 and you can find out more about the product here. A big thank you to Nikki and Oh My Giddy Aunt for being part of my day, I highly recommend them for quality and service – and something a little unique!
Hi, I’m Anna the Editor of Beauty and Lace.
Oh Anna, what a gorgeous story. Congratulations on your marriage – may you have many happy years. I love the locket and the dress looks perfect from what we can see. I bought my first Giddy Aunts bracelet based on your recommendation of the Giddy Aunts and have since bought a Harmony Ball pendant.
You couldn’t have selected anything more perfect for your wedding than the locket and every time you wear it you’ll feel as special as you deserve to. Thanks for sharing.
