Look at the final look! I wore it immediately after I finished it! You could either wear the neat side on the front or the bow on the front. Up to you!

The main part of the bridal choker necklace is the weaving pattern. If you are quite familiar with weaving technique, then this weaving necklace is not difficult for you. If you happen to be a bride-to-be or if you have a friend who is a bride-to-be, then just have a try!
