Couture Bridal Accessories – Wedding Veils, Tiaras, and Jewelry
The Holly Accent features oval shaped filigree embellished with tiny pearls and Swarovski rhinestones on thin ribbon which can be worn as a headband or a belt. This has a delicate look that finishes off a lace gown with a vintage look or a gown that needs a more defined waistline.

One of the most beautiful brides, inside and out! It was a pleasure designing for her. Here is a peek at Heidi and Dave’s amazing wedding at Jays Catering blog.
Amy Michelson Bridal Gown
” It was the kind of day little girls dream about. The perfect weather, the perfect dress, the perfect husband-to-be. And not to mention, the sparkly diamond ring. For Heidi and Dave, dreams came true on this day. She was surrounded by her closest friends, her makeup immaculate and her hair perfectly held in place. Dave had his best buds with him, ready to celebrate the special day. Family came in from all corners of the world, friends came together and laughter sooned filled the air. The atmosphere at Bella Collina Country Club in San Clemente was electric, in a way that only happens on these magical afternoons. It was the perfect setting for the dreams of a little girl, all grown up, to come true.
Thank you to the amazingly photogenic bride and groom for making us part of this incredible experience. Amy of In the Moment Events did an amazing job putting together the day, while Green Leaf provided the gorgeous flowers, and an old high school classmate of mine from San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, Benny Ek of Benny Ek Media, captured some memorable video footage, which you can view on his blog.” By White Haute Photography.
Heidi is wearing all of my favorite pieces!! Heidi Bracelet, Megan Earrings, Net veil and Signature Accent!
The Olivia Veil is a fingertip length veil that skims over the shoulders and allows all the details of the back of the gown to show through. The edge is finished with a light silver edge.

Something Green For the Bride Event
I am always telling myself that age 40 is the new 30. Living in one of the most body conscious places in the world, I am surrounded by women who are attempting to maintain their youthful appearance. I dress thin and tall models. I work with 25 year olds. Generally, I am good with growing older.
The last few months, I have been working endless hours in front of my computer preparing for my Something Green for the Bride event in Laguna Beach. As a jewelry and bridal accessory designer for Renee Pawele Bride, I was working hard preparing to launch my new eco-friendly collection. I decided for this event, I would spend one day on my personal beautification project.
Wearing my winter white skin, I discovered the fabulous airbrush tan! Can have a glowing golden tan and look like I enjoy all of the amenities of Southern California?
Yes, I can.
Did I get my make-up done and eye-opening fake eyelashes to appear rested?
Yes, I did.
Then I discovered something new: Hair extensions.
Several weeks ago I observed Sarah Goethals, a very talented and saucy hair stylist, put extensions on reality show celebrity Ambre Lake from Bret Michael’s “Rock of Love” in about 30 minutes, transforming her into a sultry goddess before our Something Green photo shoot. I could not resist trying on the layers of extra hair in the bathroom while nobody was looking. I have long hair and never considered putting EXTRA hair on my head. For the next few weeks, I couldn’t stop thinking of the waves of luscious long locks…
Thanks to Sarah at Champions Salon, I officially became one of the Housewives of Orange County. Anyone who watches this television show knows I am not wearing a bathrobe and curlers in my hair. My stylist sewed in 6 inches of long thick golden locks that looked so amazing my own friends didn’t recognize me. My husband loves the way my hair looks but is still uneasy when he touches my hair. My daughter loves it! My son doesn’t care.
After the night of glamour, I did go back to my regular life. The first day back to my martial arts class training Brazilian Ji-jitsu, I got a completely different reaction.
I rotated through several frustrated male partners who asked, “Why do you have so much hair?!!”

The Vonya Accent is a silver vine shaped filigree embellished with Swarovski rhinestones that will clip into hairstyle. This versatile hairpiece can be worn many different ways and especially great in thin hair.

Nicole's favorite pair of the many gloves the salon offers.
Stylish and petite Nicole Vega, the accessory manager at Kleinfeld’s bridal salon knows everything about bridal accessories in New York. After all she is planning her own wedding. There is a major divide between what East and West Coast brides are demanding for bridal accessories. Does she know something I don’t know??? I was thrilled by the accessory she recently stocked in the salon. Gloves! It seems the vintage revival is also including a resurgence in beautiful lace and silk gloves. Kleinfeld’s has a designer Stacey that custom fits the gloves to the bride. I found myself day dreaming of my old idol Madonna desperately thinking how I could wear gloves in my life. Now I know why I have seen the young hipsters in the New York bars styled up in couture cuffs! Nicole’s main issue is how she will incorporate gloves in her own bridal ensemble as her favorite bridal accessory is the headpiece! I look forward to how she will style herself for her own wedding next year!

I met a fabulous bride a few weeks ago at Destiny’s Bridal Salon in Scottsdale, Arizona. We must have been sisters in another life we had so much in common! I was thrilled to help Hayley select the perfect headpiece for her wedding — the Delilah Headband, of course. I was really impressed by her talent for adding BLING to her platform heels. Check out the pictures! She will do you shoes too. Just send me an email if you want her contact info!
