About Us

Renee Pawele Bride designs couture tiaras, veils and jewelry exclusively for upscale bridal salons. Each piece is handmade with the highest quality of Swarovski crystal, vintage stones and sterling silver. Many pieces are designed to be worn in versatile ways — headpieces can fit different hairstyles, or become a necklace with the addition of a clasp. Some pieces are one of a kind, or made from vintage gems in limited quantity.

Renee Pawele Bride can now be found in the some of the most renowned bridal salons in the country from Renee Strauss, Beverly Hills to Kleinfelds Bridal Salon, Manhattan.  Designer appearances are scheduled at various salons each month, offering brides an opportunity for personal styling by our designers and a preview of the newest collections.

With a distinct viewpoint in bridal style, Renee Pawele’s work is frequently featured in fashion editorials in the pages of Inside Weddings, Brides, Modern Bride, Orange County Bride, Riviera magazine and US Weekly.

Our most exciting news is the introduction of our vintage eco-friendly collection launched this May at “Something Green…for the Bride” in Laguna Beach.  Please see our ongoing updates on Something Green…for the Bride for additional styles and events.

If you have something special in mind that is not represented in this collection, a custom piece can be created to make your wedding day truly unique.


DESIGNER

Artistic Director and CEO

Renee Pawele learned to sew as a child so that she could create her own version of fashion for herself and her friends. Growing up with European parents, she was taught and inspired by her mother to pursue her artistic dreams. Renee pursued her desire to design while working for Disney, Nordstrom and NFL entertainment.

As a graduate of the University of Southern California Business Entrepreneur program, Renee Pawele has been designing for her own company for a decade. Her collection debuted at Nordstrom’s in southern California shortly after she married her college sweetheart.

You can find Renee frequently on salon sales floors styling brides and training sales consultants on completing the perfect bridal look. She loves spending her time traveling, remodeling, staying in boutique hotels, and studying martial arts.

Renee is living her dream in Laguna Beach with her husband, two children, an Olde English bulldog and a giant tortoise.

Renee’s Styling Tip: “REPURPOSE!!! Buy an accessory that you could see yourself passing down to your daughter or wearing in another way over and over. You should love it!“

Jessica is a Southern California girl through and through. Born and raised in San Diego, Jessica will find any excuse to head to the beach. With a fashion design and art history background, her heart lies with contemporary art aesthetics. She enjoys the value of vintage pieces and likes to include modern and contemporary accents to her designs. She also appreciates the balance between fashion and function, and will find a reason to reuse everything! Her accessory style mimics her personality: simple yet bold, stylish but chic, fashion forward with vintage quirks. With an extensive lingerie collection (addiction), Jessica is always on the hunt for new (sometimes vintage) pieces; she hopes to one day create her own line of luxurious lingerie.

In addition to creating and designing, Jessica’s other hobbies include snowboarding, playing scrabble, reading, and learning to cook. Jessica also enjoys the adventures of traveling. Jessica’s affinity for ethnic culture makes her a great reference for finding an amazing restaurant or trying new cuisine.

Jessica Wedding Accessory Tip: “You must wear a headpiece! I think hair accessory/jewelry is underrated, especially on wedding days. The tiara gets such a bad rap and because of this, brides will stereotype headpieces and don’t always give headpieces their due. First off, there is nothing wrong with the tiara! If you can rock it, ROCK IT! I absolutely love our headbands, such as the Mona and the Karina. I never wore headbands when I was younger like most girls, but I would love any excuse to wear our Delilah headpiece daily!”
