I just finished putting the finishing touches on this custom bridal bracelet and I wanted to share some photos with you! The bride wanted a statement bracelet incorporating her mother’s broach, but also wanted to be able to remove the broach after the wedding and wear the bracelet for a night on the town.

Photographer, Jack Looney did a incredible job photographing Liz & Marshall’s vineyard wedding. He truly captured the glow of Liz on her special day. I loved working with Liz to design a pair of earrings similar to the Caroline Earrings. Liz doesn’t have her ears pierced, but you’d never know…we put a large freshwater coin pearl to hide the clip!

I just loved receiving the photos from Jennifer and Brett’s wedding at the Stamford Yacht Club in Stamford, CT. Photographer, Kate Drew Miller, captured these special moments of the day and this very sweet bride. Jennifer chose the Eva Necklace for each of her girls to wear as an accent to their lovely grey dresses. The necklaces were the perfect piece to tie each different dress in together.

So giddy to finally see the photos from Beth and Keith’s beach wedding. Photographer, Stephanie A. Smith, did an incredible job capturing the feel of the day (If you get a moment, check out her awesome website).  I just loved the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses and Beth decided on the Madeline Earrings, but with a slightly darker shade of turquoise to match the girls dresses. How cool are those surfboards?

I recently finished this custom freshwater pearl hair piece for a bride & was really excited with the way that it came together. She wanted something simple and delicate that could be used at the base of her veil. I can’t wait to see photos from her wedding day.

A bride recently came to me with dozens of strands of her grandmother’s jewelry and asked if I would be able to take everything apart and create a unique necklace for her on her wedding day. She wasn’t sure exactly what she had in mind, but she knew that she wanted it to make a statement. I started taking apart the strands of pearls, shells, stones and silver beads and started restringing them in different patterns and lengths. I also painted her grandmother’s bright green broach silver, but left the green center showing.   She picked it up yesterday & I was so excited to see her reaction.  Her wedding is quickly approaching, so I’ll make sure to blog photos of her on her special day.

I’m so happy for sweet Adrienne and Matt Allen who were married a few months ago in Maryland.  Her color scheme of pink and gold with black accents worked perfectly with the Bridget Earrings.  L Hewitt Photography captured the magic of the day.

A very special thanks to Lucy O Photography for capturing these beautiful images of Jodi wearing the Jane Garnet earrings on her wedding day. You can see more photos of Jodi and Michael’s wedding on Lucy O Photo Blog here! I love how delicate these earrings looked with her wedding dress nestled among the soft pinks, peaches, and greens of the bouquets and bridal party.

Congrats to Jess and John Resiner!  Jess chose a different pair of earrings for each of her bridesmaids and I loved sitting down with her while she described each friend and how much they meant to her. We chose a special pair of earrings that captured each individual personality and style.  Although they are all very different, you can see from the photos, that each pair of earrings work perfectly on each girl. Such a beautiful wedding with an abundance of  love and so many special details.

These ladies in red look beautiful against the Blue Ridge Mountains at King Family Vineyards in Charlottesville, Va.  I loved working with Lindsay Doswell Forston to design a special pair of earrings for her 12 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls. She loved the look of the Kate Earrings, but she was think that she’d like the smaller – similar to the Waverly Earrings. So, we decided it would be best to combine the two pairs of earrings and create the Lindsay Earring. We also designed simple small pearl studs for her flower girls.  Congrats to you both!

Congrats to Caitlin and Coley who were married in Savannah, Georgia this past summer. Caitlin chose custom blue and silver teardrop earrings to match the bridesmaid’s Coren Moore dresses.  I love how soft and vibrant the syle looks.

Recently, I blogged about Betsy Wallace’s wedding and the beautiful white coral earrings she chose for herself for her wedding day.  Her bridesmaids also wore similar coral chard earrings, but in pink coral! I love the way that the coral works with the ocean blue dresses. Photography by Etc. Photography.

Betsy Wallace’s wedding at Figure 8 Island was lovely and etc. photography captured every detail of the day beautifully.  Betsy wanted a laid-back and natural feel for her jewelry andshe chose a custom design earring of wrapped white coral.  I think it was the perfect choice for a beach wedding.

Another group of bridesmaids and a different pair of earrings for each girl…I’m loving it! These blue beauties are made from a mix of silver, blueberry quartz, amazonite, freshwater pearls, recycled beach glass, seed beads, and ice quartz. Can’t wait to see photos from the wedding and how everything tied in together!

I loved the creative freedom I had when I designed 8 pairs of earrings and necklaces for these bridesmaids. For the necklaces, the bride chose chose The Courtney Necklace in gold, but she wanted something different for the earrings. The only thing that I new for sure was that she wanted a mix of strawberry quartz, gold, and freshwater pearls in the earrings…the rest was up to me.  Each pair is different to suit each maids’ personality!

A special thanks to photographer, Meg Runion, for sending these photos over to me after capturing Jennifers’ bridesmaids in custom jewelry. Jennifer McDaniel Downs worked with me to design a custom pair of orange coral and gold earrings and necklace for each girl.  Her color scheme, orange and brown, was so unique and all the details blended together beautifully!

Ohhh, I just got chills looking through the photos of Kelly and Andy on their wedding day in New York.  Such an adorable couple…Kelly is literally glowing and I love how Andy (who is in the Navy) wore his uniform to honor the day.   Kelly chose the Joyful Teardrop Earrings for her bridesmaids and I think that the match the dresses perfectly.

Thanks to Megan Dailor who photographed the wedding and captured so many beautiful images.

Congrats to Kally and Ben Love who were married at Veritas Vineyards in Afton, Va.  For each bridesmaid, Kally chose a different word that symbolized each bridesmaid and I engraved each word on a sterling silver disc and put each disc on a sterling silver bracelet. We decided to pair each silver disc with a gold disc that had the date of their wedding and a small royal blue piece of recycled beach glass.  The words that Kally chose for each bridesmaid were all  heartfelt and beautiful: Loyal, Inspire, Free, Live, Courage, Heart, Family, and Strength.  Kally even had one made for herself and she engraved the word, Love…her new last name and the perfect word to symbolize the special day.

I was so excited to see the photos from Randi and Cole’s wedding.  I worked with Randi years ago at Zocalo in Charlottesville, VA and was so happy when she asked me to design her bridal jewelry. Randi has a great energy and such a curiosity about life and people. I always loved listening to her tell stories about traveling the world and the people that she met….a few years ago Randi and Coles had this little sweetheart (pictured in the last photo), Blake!  Congrats to such an adorable family and a beautiful wedding day.
