Admittedly, when it comes to bridal accessories the garter is an afterthought at best for me. It’s tradition, it’s a garter, moving on. That, however, ceased to be the case when I came upon the glamorous couture offerings by U.K. designer label Florrie Mitton. The handmade line consists of beautiful laces, silk satins, chiffon & tulle all trimmed with silk ribbons, vintage sparkles, charms and jewels. They are ultra feminine and fashion-forward and proof that it is all about the details.
When I saw these wedding dresses from Australian designer, Johanna Johnson, I was stopped in my tracks. Full disclosure? I may have even squealed. But, just a little bit. Okay, honestly, I gave 6 year old school girls a run for their money with my pitch. But, come on! Seriously?! This is high style that is well worth the reaction.
With clear nods of inspiration to styling of the 1920′s and 30′s, Johanna Johnson has brought about a glamorous revision with her Luxor 2012 Collection. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in Australia using the finest materials such as silk satins, Parisian cotton lace, hand beading, and Swarovski detailing. While not to every bride’s budget, it’s not hard to imagine that any bride would feel like a million bucks in one of these beauties.
There are lots of accessories that a bride considers as part of her overall wedding day look. While the obvious choices are shoes, veil, jewelry, and bouquet, a bride is also going to need a purse for a few essentials and a clutch is a classic and stylish choice. And, stylish is precisely what you’ll find with the multitude of offerings at Angee W.
Founded in 2009 by mother-daughter team, Angee & Vincci, this talented duo uses jewelry, feathers, lace, floral adornments and more, to bring together their exquisite creations. You can even customize the lining of each clutch with your engagement photo or another special image as well as having an embroidered message placed inside (which would make for a memorable bridesmaid gift). Each clutch would make for a fashionable finishing touch to the entire bridal party look so be sure to check out their entire collection!
So, are you a veil or a non-veil bride-to-be? Not to worry! These days the options are endless regardless of what type of accessory you choose to crown yourself with the day you walk down that aisle. And, none are quite so lovely as the handmade pieces from Twigs & Honey.
Founded by Myra Callan in 2008 (after being inspired by her own wedding to husband, Matt), Twigs & Honey hair adornments are created with great attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship. Since the first styles were released, the designs have included handmade and hand-dyed or painted silk flowers, hand-sewn embellishments and other intricate detailing. Myra’s line features hair adornments, headbands, birdcage veils, traditional veils, hats, and so much more! Anything from Twigs & Honey would make for a stunning crowning touch!
Brittany and Alex’s wedding was held at a private estate in Southern California and is filled with fun little DIY details. Check out the unique idea of having your table number cards double as a sort of time-capsule guestbook…Brilliant! Also not to be missed are the bridesmaids’ adorable black lace dresses, retro candy sweet table, and sparkly chandelier hanging from the tree!
