The Valentine Cuff was conceived and created to replace the bulky and often cumbersome bridal bouquet that repeatedly impedes the view of a bride’s gown. Designed as an accent of flowers adorned with crystal beading, exotic floral, and elaborate details, the Valentine Cuff is worn as a hands free accessory that adds a modern twist to the longstanding tradition of a bridal bouquet. The successful entry into the US market has created celebrity demand and has been worn by The Real Housewives of Orange County reality star Tamara Judge, as well as Basketball Wives reality stars Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada and radio personality Shirley Strawberry. “I created the Valentine cuff to honor the wedding gown,” shares Valentine. “Many brides spend thousands of dollars on their wedding gown and then hide the most beautiful and intricate details that are often found on the bodice of their dream gown,” she says. “This hands-free floral accessory is an evolution of the bridal bouquet and the perfect accessory for every bride.” To view the entire collection visit: shop.diannvalentine.com .
