Jane Rocks Black Accessories in her Engagement Shoot

I love black! I would have worn black to my wedding if it wouldn’t have made my mother in law disown me.  Here is one of my brides rocking the black accents with her Elizabeth Filmore gown from The White Dress.  By the way, this was only one of her two wedding gown looks! The fabulous photographer is Tosti Studios in Newport Beach, California. Jane is wearing a black birdcage veil and the Panther feather flower.

Sleeping Beauty in Seattle…our bride Tara

Our bride Tara comes from the Seattle area, where I have found to be a mecca of fashionistas. If you have not been to Seattle, this is a beautiful and clean city full of fashion, music and great people! Many of my Seattle brides opt for creative custom jewelry designs to incorporate into their wedding style!

Cocktail rings to match Tara's broach on her gown.

Tara chose the Midori Accent for her updo and the Alanna Bracelet to sparkle on her wrist.Tara designed this custom broach for the center of the flower on her wedding gown!


Anthropology of Chosing the Right Husband….

Anthropology- the study of humanity. Ever think about it? An anthropologist is interested in the origins of man, evolution theories and the nature vs. nurture debate. Pretty heady stuff. I like to consider myself an anthropologist when I people-watch. (Which, I oh so enjoy.) People are fascinating to watch just as they go about there everyday routine. Why did they choose those UNCOMFORTABLE looking shoes as they WALK to work? How will a person react when confronted by someone asking for help? How will they respond to themselves in the mirror after I deck them out in a couple of well-chosen bridal accessories? That’s all good stuff, if you ask me. But, how about this? Why do we (as a society) choose whom we do, as a romantic partner? Well, Dr. Helen Fisher, PHD is a REAL anthropologist and I follow her work as she conducts studies and writes on her findings. She’s touting a new book called Why Him? Why Her? Finding Real Love by Understanding Your Personality Type. She’s divided us into 4 types and tells us…Hey, if you’re this type, choose this type, NOT that type. Seems so simplistic considering our complicated make-ups. I typically love her work, but I’m not sold. Not at all. Check out this link for the 4 types and see what you think “How to spot your soul mate” . I’m not even certain I’m 100% one of the types. Maybe she’s so smart and accomplished, she just really had to dumb it down for us and these are the ho-hum results? In any case, doesn’t it sound delicious to be an ‘Explorer’?


Seattle Bride shows off her California style

My favorite photo!

Zach and Denise live in Southern California but decided to celebrate their wedding in Seattle where most of their family resides. The bride’s Southern California style shows through with her long wavy hair worn down over her shoulders and large chandelier earrings. I was told by a photographer that height differences between the bride and groom is a challenge to photograph. I just love the pictures that showcase this quality…as the bride and groom gaze at each other.

Monterey Necklace

Monterey NecklaceMonterey NecklaceThe Monterey Necklace features Swarovski crystalized ivory pearls and rhinestone rondelles alternated on sterling silver chain.  This lariat has a sexy dangle down the back.  I recommend if you are wearing your hair down, the necklace could be made without the drop down the back.  This piece has a very delicate classic look with a sexy twist on the back (which is where your guests will be looking during the ceremony).  If you are wanting to wear “a strand of pearls” try this first!  You will love it!
