    Real Housewives of Melbourne Season 4 (Part 2) – featuring Redki Couture Jewellery

    This fabulous photo was the 2nd photo of the day and was beautifully styled in creams, golds, bronze and red.  It had a very regal feel to it.

    To style the jewellery for these gowns was such fun adding gorgeous swarovski crystal jewellery to complete the look for the ladies.  I styled the jewellery to their  personality and to the gowns draping and texture to suit the look of the gown.

    This photo was featured in the Melbourne Herald cover of the TV Guide, Melbourne Housewives Season 4.

    Here are some behind the scenes photos of the housewives, between photos on set.

    Real Housewives of Melbourne Season 4 (part 1) – featuring Redki Couture Jewellery

    When the Real Housewives of Melbourne call to wear your jewellery, its a YES of course!

    To set the scene for you, I was contacted to bejewel the ladies and loan my jewellery for the Housewives for their promotional photo for Season 4 back in late May for a photoshoot in early June by the stylist.  Mmmmmm all that jewellery going to Melbourne by courier, nope, so I booked accommodation and plane tickets and packed 28kg of jewellery into a case and Mum and I shared the other suitcase packing very lightly for our 4 day adventure.  We stayed in St Kilda Beach which was just fabulous actually with all its cafes and being near the beach but oh my, coming from Brisbane warm winter to Melbourne cold, yep, glad we took our gloves and scarves.

    The shoot was at ‘The George’ which is an iconic building in St Kilda, truly fabulous as weddings are held there and part of it has been turned into apartments.  I hardly slept the night before as I had so much going through my mind, did I have enough jewellery with me? I bought some of my tools with me and extra crystals to make an last minute changes of colours.  We arrived for 7am and set up, laying the jewellery out and we were ready.  The stylist had 28 looks to style on that day for the housewives and bought 35 gorgeous gowns and shoes along with other stylists to assist on the day with dressing the ladies.  It takes such a team effort to create the looks.  There were a team of makeup artists and hair stylists creating the looks downstairs and as they were ready the ladies would come up and were dressed in their gown and would come over to me so I could style their jewellery for them.

    They were just the loveliest most gracious women and we enjoyed meeting them and being with them for the day.  Mum had a ball meeting them and helping me, she has been on so many of my shoots and is an amazing assistant to me, couldn’t do it without my Mum xo

    The ladies we adorned on the day were Gina Liano, Janet Roach, Sally Bloomfield, Lydia Schivaello, Venus Behbahani, Jackie Gillies and Gamble Breaux.  Gamble was so much fun as you can see in the ‘behind the scenes’ photos and she is such a lovely and beautiful person. All the ladies were just lovely and so nice on the day.

    Well, the photoshoot was in June and the photos are now being published in December, first in OK Magazine with Prince Harry and Meghan Markel on the cover and I must say what a gorgeous loving couple they make., this photo has the ladies in black, maroon and purple. I used neutral clear crystal jewellery with either gold or silver metals for the ladies, except for Gina’s necklace I swapped out the central crystal to match her gown and for Janet, I added a statement black necklace with a feature crystal centre piece with matching earrings and bracelet.  All the ladies had either matching earrings, necklace, bracelet and rings on and they looked beautiful.

    Now I can share a secret that we have been sitting on for 6 months phew, so very proud of my jewellery being featured with the ‘Real Housewives of Melbourne’ and OK Magazine.

    Our Beautiful Goddess is a confident, strong and empowered woman. She is graceful, enticing and independent; she commands the space she is in. All our Goddess needs is her jewels and her great attitude.

    The Concept for this photo shoot was imagined by Redki – Couture Jewellery and John Pryke Photography.  We created the idea of this shoot with the common goal of Empowering Women to be comfortable in their skin as all women are beautiful.

    The Outfit for our Goddesses was created with layers of handmade Redki – Couture Jewellery.  Layers and layers of beautiful Swarovski crystal necklaces and fresh water pearl necklaces.  The hairpieces were actually swarovski crystal necklaces transformed to look like a hairpiece.  Redki also bejewelled underwear with hundreds of Swarovski crystals to create gorgeous crystal underwear for our Goddess to wear. We created several looks throughout by changing statement necklaces, rings and cuff bracelets throughout the shoot to create different elements to the shoot.

    Redki – Couture Jewellery has been handcrafting jewellery for over 12 years in Australia and is an Award Winning Jeweller and is internationally published. “My designs and collections are made to empower women.

    John has been a photographer since 1983 in the realms of the press world but has more recently ventured into more creative fields of fashion and interpretive and bespoke portraiture.

    Our Goddess Leixia is a beautiful artistic model that is fluid in movement and expression. The camera adores her as she has such incredible emotions through her body angles, facial expressions and in particular she draws you in through her seductive eyes.

  • Dreamy Blue Beach Bride – Wedding Jewellery glistens in the sun, Redki Couture Jewellery

    Dreamy Blue Beach Bride – Wedding Jewellery glistens in the sun, Redki Couture Jewellery

    Drift away with this Dreamy Beach seaside beach wedding inspiration. Beautiful blues and creams is what our bride wears. Our Beautiful Beach bride with her handsome groom walk hand in hand on the beach for their wedding day. The water is glistening in the sun, the flowers smell beautiful and the beautiful wedding jewellery is sparkling. The colour scheme and theme is just lovely and it is a very romantic is the setting for this couple.

    You could be anywhere in the world yet nothing beats our beautiful beaches on the sunny Gold Coast.  This was a lovely beach photo shoot that Redki – Couture Jewellery was featured in. What a tough day, hanging out at the beach for the afternoon. I know someone has to do it so it may as well be me!!!  It was fabulous enjoying sand between our toes, lovely breeze and a great team of people as we dressed, bejewelled the bride and photographed our fabulous models.

    What I love about this photo shoot is the softness and dreamy tones.  The creams and dreamy blues of the fabrics that are softly blowing in the breeze and complimented with bronze and gold wedding jewellery and accessories. Such a beautiful day with the Gold Coast beach and water reflecting a brilliant blue and giving us a glorious day.

    Handmade Jewellery and Hairpieces by Redki – Couture Jewellery using swarovski crystal pearls and crystals in bronze and gold. Adding glamour to make a statement by wearing our large bling ring in gold Swarovski crystals.

    This crystal ring is one of my favourites as the colour golden shadow goes with a variety of gown styles and colours. It is beautiful for both brides and bridesmaids. Just by adding a matching bracelet and teardrop gold crystal earrings, the flow of colour and styling moves the eye to the pretty double strand crystal and pearl headband to complete the look.

    It’s all about bringing the look together with subtle details that compliment each other.

    ➳ Did you always know that you wanted to design Bridal accessories?

    Oh yes, as I just love the elegance of the bridal world. I love my marriage and love hearing how couples meet and their beautiful story. I just adore being part of a bride’s journey up to her walking down the aisle and everyone turning in admiration at how beautiful she looks.

    My very first bridal jewellery was for a girlfriend who was marrying her love. Her daughter was the bridesmaid and they wanted truly unique jewellery and couldn’t find it anywhere. That is where I came in and created beautiful Swarovski Crystal jewellery for the Bride and Bridesmaid. It is fabulous as they both wear their jewellery beyond the wedding.

    Helping brides gives me so much pleasure as I am able to take the stress away for them in creating exactly what they are wanting in their jewellery and hairpieces. Saves them going shop-to-shop or online and not being able to find their perfect pieces, saves time, saves stress and they can concentrate on other areas of their wedding.

    I am a very passionate creative person, I love what I do and I feel privileged and honoured beyond words to be part of a brides wedding day.

    Also as you walk down the aisle and stand with your love, your guests will see the back and side of your head for some time and the photographer will take photos from this angle; how pretty will it look to have a hairpiece in your hair.

    I always suggest that you have your jewellery and hairpieces made by the same jeweller. Buying elsewhere and trying to match just won’t work. You will see the difference, as glass just doesn’t look as beautiful as crystals. It’s like wearing two difference coloured shoes, it just doesn’t look right; and this is your wedding day and you want everything to coordinate and look beautiful.

    Choose jewellery that you love, don’t get caught up in trends (remember you will look back at these photos 20 years time and you can avoid that trend). Just be yourself and you will be the most relaxed and comfortable bride, as you know you look beautiful and you will feel empowered and fabulous on your wedding day.
