Art Deco Myrtle Leaf Tiara & Boutonnière Pin

№. 311

STORY: 

The Myrtle flower has been a long cherished symbol of love and unity.  It is tradition across the world for brides and grooms alike to adorn themselves in the symbolic blossom. 

Queen Victoria included a sprig of myrtle in her bouquet whilst Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex have continued this tradition.

This tiara is both beautiful and romantic and comes with a matching boutonniere for the groom.

Dozens of hand shaped metal myrtle leaves are set onto delicate metal branches. The silvery tone metal has a white sheen to it which reflects beautifully in the light. 

The metal work is delicate although the branches can be arranged to suit your style/taste. Care must be taken though to adjust it slowly and delicately to avoid the metal snapping.
