A very Merry Christmas

A very Merry Christmas to you! We have been hard at work this holiday season. In early December we got photos of our latest birdcage veil styles coming soon... Wanted to give you a sneak peek here... The next collection will be even better than the last. Lots of drama! We will be taking a few days off for Christmas so I wanted to send out an early message with a sneak peek of what is to come next season.

Meet Mrs. Julia Ward

Meet Julia , the new "Mrs. Ward". Julia is one of our brides who sent in her pictures months ago and I totally forgot to post them. So so sorry Julia. Isn't her lace dress just fantastic. I put this picture of her alone up first, because it is my absolute favorite. I just love love love the pose! And that couch... Julia had a custom piece created to match her dress, see below.



Thank you Julia for sending in pictures! We are so glad that you did!

Real Bride: Jamie Ragsdale- Easley

Meet Jamie Ragsdale the new Mrs. Jamie Easley. She sent us these photos from her Telluride, Colorado wedding this past fall. Jamie chose to wear the Marilyn veil, which she customized to match her wedding colors of brown and champagne. Check out all the pictures below.

Go with Gold

There is no better way to accent a vintage wedding, than with gold.
We just can't get enough of Gold. The chandelier below is to die for! Many companies let you rent beauties like this for your big day. Also, check out these fantastic shoes. The bow is super hot.

Although baby blue is most often combined with silver, Go with gold for an old Hollywood feel. While you not be up for a blue wedding dress (see below) go with the baby blue for your shoes, jewelry, or cake.
For a winter wedding, a dark green and gold combo is always a hit. I especially love the gold detailing on the cake below.

And for my all time favorite, Gold and Brown. So many options here. This color combo makes everything look glam and gorgeous. I love these coffees below with the long straws. Also, the monogrammed truffles. Adding a bow to the invites, or picking gold embossed envelopes... It all works to make your wedding fabulous.

Black and White Weddings

There is almost nothing as classic as a black and white wedding. Seeing some photos from Justine Ungaro's wedding over at www.theunbride.com got me thinking about this. When you go classic, you will never regret it. Black and whit can be vintage or modern. I love this zebra printed cow hide shown below as a wedding day accent. Also, the guinnea feather napkin holders below!
A dash of color to the black and white palate can be just the right accent. I love the monochromatic flower arrangements on the tables below. It makes them really Pop! And while your at it, why not give your cake a little bling as well? I love this feathery brooch with ribbon on the cake below. Another tip: follow a theme throughout your entire wedding. If you are wearing a feathered veil, put some on the flower girl, in the bouquets, table decor etc...

Meet real bride Michelle Ward

Meet the Beautiful Michelle (Formerly Solomon) Ward.
Two days before her 30th birthday, Michelle got engaged. Michelle, from Long Island and her fiance Luke, from Buffalo were married in Brooklyn on 9/14/08. Their ceremony took place at Brooklyn Bridge Park on a pebble beach overlooking Manhattan. Her bridesmaids wore flip flops (which I love) and tea length dresses. When Michelle emailed me some fabulous photos of her September wedding and I had to share.

Kate aka "Miss. Pomegranite"

I have the opportunity of sharing some photos from one of our brides Kate.
Better known as Miss.Pomegranite on the site weddingbee.com When I saw her photos, I had to share. Kate's wedding was a black and white damask dream. Kate requested a custom made birdcage veil to match her custom dress. She mailed us scraps of silver lambskin from her dress and we used them to form a beautiful two layer leather flower backed with brilliant guinnea feathers. Her veil looks stunning with her dress I must say. Kate documented the whole process of creating her custom pieces on the blog, weddingbee.com.
