MiMi and I are in Mainland China right now and will soon return to Hong Kong with the latest beads. These should be in the MrBead shop in a few weeks and we'll take some to the UK on our return there the end of July. However, our big stash of new stock will take over 6-weeks to arrive in Britain.
So don't keep old jewellery: sell it cheap. Make new designs if you want sales.
What Brides Expect
No one skimps on their wedding. Packages are out. Couples want individualism
to represent them on their special day. A unique design to last a lifetime. Most prefer traditional style, but some like a modern, completely different look. Get to know the couple - ask what they like.
Stuck For Ideas?
For inspiration, look in wedding magazines and blogs. Search Google Images for 'handmade wedding jewellery'.
Make It In Advance
If you would like to exploit the bridal market more, create wedding sets to promote to possible couples. Bridesmaids and the other-in-law will want jewellery as well. Plus, the maid of honour would love matching jewellery to the bride. Make your pictures and designs stand out from other wedding designers - use dramatic styles or pictures. Match your beads to the colour of the dress.
Promote
Market yourself as a wedding jewellery designer. On Twitter, Facebook, and design a bridal website. Sell cheap wedding jewellery on eBay, then try to get buyers to spend more on individual designs.
What to Make
White is the obvious colour, but pinks and other pale colours can work too.
