Wedding Jewellery in Southampton

The Little Things In Life is a family run company which supplies gorgeous wedding jewellery in the Southampton area, from beautiful bridal tiaras, to stunning necklace sets and a range of gorgeous wedding hair accessories such as hair combs and comb tiaras. We have a superb range of wedding bridal sets which include the wedding tiara, necklace and earrings and occasionally a bracelet. The bridal hair combs come in three or four sizes and include bridal hair pins and hair bands. There is plenty for the bride-to-be to choose from to complete her outfit for her very special day, even a pretty wedding garter. A large proportion of our wedding jewellery is made using beautiful Swarovski crystals and some also contain freshwater pearls for a truly romantic look. Some of our necklace sets and hair combs and pins would also be ideal for bridesmaids and some for the mother of the bride. We offer free delivery on all our goods in the UK.Southampton is synonymous with shipbuilding. Think of all the famous ships which have sailed from this important port: the ill fated Titanic which was sunk by an iceberg four days after leaving Southampton on her maiden voyage to America in 1912, The Mayflower which sailed to North America with the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620. It is one of the UK’s most important ports and there has been a port here from early Roman times. William the Conqueror, invading Britain in 1066, landed his ships here from France and it was from here that many of the crusades set forth in medieval times.Also in medieval times a large amount of wool was exported from Southampton and the Wool House built in the 1300s still stands today, but now serves as the city’s maritime museum. Here the visitor can see, carved on the chestnut roof, names of French prisoners of war who were kept imprisoned here during the 18th century.The Normans built the original city walls, but very little remains of them today. However, the towers are still in evidence: Polymond, Catchcold, Wind Whistle and God’s House Tower.Southampton became a spa town in the 1800s and remained so until Brighton took over as the favoured spa town after half a century because of the Prince Regent’s love of Brighton.During the First World War millions of troops left England for the front line and the city was heavily bombed during the Second World War. Some of the city’s old buildings survive, including several inns, which once would have been coaching inns. There is the 15th century Dolphin rebuilt in the 18th century, the Star which is a Georgian building and the Red Lion, the oldest inn in the city, dates back to the 1100s.Southampton is a city, a status granted to it in 1964, but it has no cathedral. It’s main church, St Mary’s was heavily bombed during the last war, but Southampton boasts a much older church in St Michael’s which has a Saxon tower and a 12th century font which came from France.
