Wedding Bouquets Inspired by Magnificent Jewelry

A stunning piece of jewelry can be a marvelous source of inspiration for your wedding, particularly if it happens to be a family heirloom. We selected five show-stopping designs and interpreted each of them as a one-of-a-kind wedding bouquet. Yvonne Chapman combined a dazzling display of sunny calla lilies and delicate ranunculas wrapped in ivory silk. Her inspiration was Harry Winston's magnificent fancy yellow diamond.

The contrast of pink sapphires and diamonds set in white gold makes this Chanel cuff bracelet extraordinary. The gradation of petals on a fine white gold trellis is mimicked in the silver accent leaves of floral designer Debbie Hemingway's bouquet. Extremely light, the bracelet traces its filigree pattern on the skin like delicately embroidered lace. The petals of this jeweled camellia, Mademoiselle Chanel's preferred flower, are brought to life in a bundle of hot pink ranuculus, pink cymbidium orchids, and tiny phalaenopsis orchids. A cuff of sparkling faux diamonds completes the bouquet handle.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Envol necklace with mystery set rubies and white diamonds is enlivened in Hemingway's fiery-red gloriosa lily bouquet. A ruffled cuff of miniature ruby carnations is topped by loops of silver tree protea. The filigree handle tied with dainty floral faux diamonds is the finishing touch.

Tiffany & Co. has always been renowned for their classically beautiful pearls, and the luminous pastel hues of this Tahitian pearl necklace are truly breathtaking. Designer Debbie Hemingway captured the essence in her bouquet of ivory ranunculus and creamy roses. Dainty blue hyacinth flowers are dotted with a smaller version of the necklace's diamond clasp, while the stems are draped with blue-grey strands to mimic the dreamy quality of the real pearls.
