Real Wedding - Glynnis & Derek

Nothing makes us happier than seeing photographs from our beautiful brides!  Say congratulations to Glynnis and her new husband Derek, who were married May 8, 2010 in a sunny destination wedding at Iberostar Paraiso Maya in the Riviera Maya. 

We love this custom designed hair piece we created for Glynnis and so did she!  A beautiful hand cut flower was surrounded with gentle wisps of ostrich feathers.  We received the sweetest email from Glynnis.  Here's a little of what she had to say about her gorgeous bridal look...

"It was absolutely perfect! It would have never crossed my mind to look for something with feathers!  This hair piece was so beautiful and delicate.  Everyone loved how unique the piece was.  I’ve attached some photos so you can see how you both helped in making our day perfect!"

Which Hand Should I Wear My Wedding Bracelet On?

Keep it away from "the rock" and wear your bridal bracelet on your right hand.  You'll get some great photos during your vows and your bracelet will become a treasured heirloom.

Here are two wonderful shots of one of our brides, Heather Rust, who wore my personal favorite wedding bracelet, The Glamoura Cuff, also available in a pearl version.

Here's how we helped Jennifer find her dream accessories...

Jennifer and I first clicked when she was wedding shoe shopping in our boutique. She was searching for a super comfortable shoe from her recent foot surgeries and we realized we had the same podiatrist, Dr. Weil who "saved" our feet! We also realized we have a mutual fondness of New Zealand (where they honeymooned). During her frequent trips into the store and our chatty usual selves, we became friendly and I adored her style and self confidence.  Jennifer chose to wear this amazing sterling silver antiqued filigree bracelet set with tiny Swarovski crystals and the best wedding wedge shoe on the market, the "Victoria". It's not too high, very stylish and comfortable.

 

Congrats to Jen and Tom!
