I got to work with some great, sweet, wonderful... and completely laid back people to help bring the bride's vision for her wedding jewelry to life. Honestly, I've never worked with someone so... carefree... about what they're going to wear on their wedding day. When I went to her house with my boxes and boxes of supplies and a stack of pictures and ideas in tow, the bride basically told me, "I trust you." Yeah, I know... ya could have knocked me over with a feather. Still, I had her look through the pictures, and some of the elements I had on hand and tried to keep an idea in my head of what she liked, what she was looking for... and what her personality was. Sometimes, it just takes pulling the elements together.
This bride, fell in love with a set of sterling silver, heart links that I had in my stock. She kept picking them up, and I knew it was something she wanted in her necklace. This girl, is so sweet, and romantic, and she and her groom made a positive impression on me, and when I saw her dress I had a pretty good idea what kind of jewelry would work for her: romantic, elegant and just that little touch of shiny thrown in for some sparkle. I was so happy with the way this jewelry turned out, and the bride and her family have since told me how happy THEY were with the jewelry. So, I thought I'd at least share the preliminary photos of the bride's jewelry, her bridemaids', mother's and flower girls' jewelry as well. Sorry, I don't have pics of the bride and everyone in their jewelry... yet... as I was a goober and left my camera at home on the day of the wedding. Hey, you try getting yourself, your hubby and four kids out the door when they don't want to wear their church clothes on a non-church day! LOL. Enjoy!
