Jewelry Ideas for Your Bridal Party!
It’s that time of year to begin thinking about accessorizing the ladies in your bridal party and giving them gifts to thank them for being a part of your special day!
Check out the beautiful gold jewelry I came across on ShopNBC.
I love unique pieces like this gold hammered and diamond cut ricami reconstituted turquoise ring below to give as thank you gifts.
14K Gold Hammered & Diamond Cut Ricami Reconstituted Turquoise RIng, $118.62
Classics like these white cultured akoya pearl stud earrings or this lavender cultured freshwater pearl bracelet make great gifts as well and to wear on the wedding day too.
14K White or Yellow Gold AAA Quality 6.5-7.0mm White Cultured Akoya Pearl Stud Earrings, $148.63
6.5"-8" AAA Quality 7-8mm Lavender Cultured Freshwater Pearl Bracelet, $152.73
Looking for ideas to send your significant other? Well, sometimes it’s fun to splurge a little bit. If you want to be indulged, let him know. Give him ideas, like a spa day, a nice massage, or even some more jewelry. You’re the bride so you get to be spoiled as much as you like! My wish list includes this diamond multi-circle pendant and these akoya pearl and diamond drop earrings!
14K Gold Diamond Multi-Circle Pendant w/ Chain, $1,425
14K White Gold AAA Quality 7.5-8.0mm Cultured Akoya Pearl & Diamond Drop Earrings, $593.48
One of the best things about ShopNBC is that you can use the ValuePay option as a sort of payment plan to purchase your gifts! Remember that wherever you choose to shop, whether it be at a Bloomies or Tiffany’s or online at ShopNBC, you must keep your eyes open for large selections. You never know what you may find! Happy shopping!

Priscilla of Boston: In Awe of Wedding Dresses
Long before I ever started planning weddings, before I was engaged and looking for wedding dresses myself, I can remember being introduced to the wonderful world of Priscilla of Boston passing by their flagship store on Boston’s Boylston Street. When it came time to shop for my own wedding gown, I couldn’t wait to enter those doors with my own special purpose.
I’ve blogged about Priscilla of Boston’s wedding dresses before, but today I want to focus on a few new favorites which showcase some of the latest trends in bridal couture: ruffles, sleeves, and one-shouldered looks! Even though these looks are in tune with the latest trends, you’ll still see the timeless elegance that made Priscilla of Boston wedding dresses famous. Prices range from $1,200 to $5,000+.

Last week Vera Wang revealed a line of affordable wedding dresses available for purchase at David’s Bridal. Available in sizes 0-14 and priced from $600-$1,400, the gowns are beautiful and not out of reach for many brides! A range of lovely veils and accessories are also part of the new line. Wang says, “Every bride deserves to have great design. I believe the bride knows who she is and how she wants to look and feel on her special day. Every gown I create reflects that respect for other women and how much design means to me.”
The White Collection of these wedding dresses hits stores on Feb. 11. And that’s not all; come June, Vera Wang will add a line of bridesmaids dresses available at David’s Bridal ranging in price from $150-$200.
Check out a sneak peak of the wedding dresses below.

I love this wedding shoot featured on Style Me Pretty a few weeks back.
The designers put the bride in these fabulous turquoise shoes from Hey Lady that I featured on the blog back in September. And how fab are the teal chiavari chairs? Love.
