A blog about love & sparkle
Beautiful stuff on this website. It can be sorta pricey, but definitely worth it. Their work is quality work and still a bit cheaper than ordering from a bridal shop. Plus they can totally customize the work they do. For example, they made my tiara into a back piece to be tucked into my hair.

Did you see the weddings line launched by Anthropologie, this week? It’s called BHLDN and couldn’t be more gorgeous! Everything is beautiful and fresh, even the presentation. I really love this. It’s exciting to see new ventures such as this, when the state of the wedding industry has been cautious during the last few years. It’s a breath of hope and so, so lovely!
A high waisted dress glittering with jewels…so glamorous. I’m positively in love with the headpiece as well…I’m in a fan girl state of mind right now! The Temperley London bridal collection is really so beautiful, so full of detail and beautiful fabrics too. Look at the back detail and you can see the soft pink color of the silk. I’ve now got a new designer to ogle.
I’ve spent all week working in Photoshop and putting up new designs. I took down a few older ones and messed a bunch of stuff up behind the scenes…sigh. I’ve got a ton of new things to show and talk about. I’m just slow as always. I have a post planned for tomorrow to show a collection called the Deco Society…best name ever! Until then…
I have black velvet pads all over the studio with messily arranged sparkly things, most are finished, a few are unfinished, and some just have pieced together ideas- thus, they are my notebooks. I began organizing all the new designs today for a photo shoot I’m planning next week and I am a bit overwhelmed! Recently we got a new computer that doesn’t support the Canon digital software I use to take photos with, so…a lot of new designs have accumulated. Trust, it was an ugly mess which involved a few tears, and a determined and super smart hubby. We’re back on track now and I can’t wait to have all the new pieces up online soon. The pieces shown above are remnants of the “notebooks”. They are new and not available online yet, but as usual if you see something you like just let me know.
In other news I am super excited about our new campaign which will go up on Style Me Pretty in February. Speaking of…did anyone happen to see the guest post by erin ever after on Style Me Pretty today? I was floored by the emerald Gucci dress the bride wore in her Mexican wedding. Just so gorgeous, really…I love when fashion collides so well with weddings!
Have a great weekend!

The Royal Wedding Fashion Review
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011Kate Middleton made a beautiful, elegant, ultra romantic bride! Her wedding gown and reception gown, both by Sarah Burton, the creative director of British fashion house Alexander McQueen, exuded an understated romantic elegance. She was so gorgeous! I love that her style obviously reflected her own taste. Any modern day bride could pull elements from her look- lace, soft romantic hair, understated tiara, or the in season flowers, for their own wedding. Above the fashion, she truly seemed happy and gracious toward the attention she received. Just lovely, and so adorable too!
Her Cartier tiara (on loan), was made in 1936 and was purchased by The Duke of York (King George VI) for his Duchess (The Queen Mother). Queen Elizabeth received the tiara from her mother on her 18th birthday. The sparkling tiara held Middleton’s transparent veil, made of ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers.
I love tiaras and headbands just as much as any Princess! Our Night at the Museum Headband is one of my favorites… it’s not quite as tall as Kate’s, which makes it a bit more accessible to most brides. Oh… and it’s made with Swarovski crystal, rather than diamonds!
Are you planning on styling your look after Kate? Certainly, everyone should wear her smile. Beautiful!
