Wedding Wednesday.... Here Comes The Bride


I usually agree with a bride's dress choice.
Even if it's not my style, I can usually appreciate that it fits their personality.

One thing I find myself being very bored with is their accessories.

I mean, come ON ladies! I've seen the lace tipped veil, pearl necklace and white satin peep toes ENOUGH.
Let's be original.
So I thought I'd put together accessories for a few different bride styles.

For the Romantic Bride:

Monique Lhuillier Sp' 2012

Elise Veil by Sara Gabriel

I love these unexpected earrings. They're beautiful and not the typical pearl or diamante you would expect to see with a dress like this.

Neiman Marcus

Nadri Crystal Scroll Bangle

Are these not the happiest shoes you've ever seen?

Manolo Blahnik

For the Glam Bride:

Monique Lhuillier Sp' 2012

A big dress deserves a long veil

Bridget Veil by Sara Gabriel

Nadri Crystal Scallop Bangle

And I love these OVER-stated earrings

Nadri Crystal Teardrop Linear Earrings
Nordstrom


I LOVE these shoes.
I don't care that they cost $3,000+ dollars.
And that sort of blatant frivolity is usually not my style.
By they're beautiful.

 

Christian Louboutin
Net-A-Porter

For The Classic Bride:

Romona Keveza Couture Fall' 11

I adore this dress.
And I am nowhere near statuesque enough to wear it.
So if you are, and you choose it, please email me a photo so I can live vicariously
 through your chic-ness.

Wendy Veil by Sara Gabriel

Nadri 'Lotus' Crystal Drop Earrings



Alexandre Birman
Net-A-Porter


 For the Retro Bride:

Melissa Sweet "Billie" Dress

I'll preface this one by saying that I don't know if I'd be brave enough to wear a tea length dress.
Probably because I've dreamt of a ball gown my entire life.

But as previously discussed, I am obsessed with this bride and her Palm Springs wedding.


I love this Retro style longer birdcage veil.
It fits the dress perfectly.
Charisse Veil by Sara Gabriel

And a fun dress/look deserves fun jewelry!

Neiman Marcus

Love love love these Milly earrings!

A quick note about Sara Gabriel veils.... They are GORGEOUS!
And if you haven't been to her website, go immediately. 
She has a huge selection of veils, birdcages, hairpieces, headbands...you name it.

And about Nadri Jewelry.
It can be found at Nordstrom and a few other places.
It's fabulous costume jewelry for a very inexpensive price tag.


Happy Wedding Wednesday!
