Something Blue for Your Wedding
posted by Leave a Comment
Every bride wants that something blue for her wedding day; but why do something boring? Carrie Bradshaw had the right idea.
Now I admit up front that I am a shoe girl, Imelda Marcos in training if you must know. š If you are like me and can rock heels with out it causing you too much effort, why not pick one of these lovelies? Besides, you can wear them after the wedding.What better excuse can you think of to buy a great pair of heels?
Then again, if rocking’ heels isn’t your thing for your wedding day there is always this little number. You will be wearing it after the big day too!
Pearls for Your Wedding
posted by 4 Comments
Pearls have long been a traditional accessory for a wedding look. Thatās easy to understand; with their soft lustrous finish they add a certain understated glow.
Pearls today are not your Grandmomās single little conservative strand. Why not go large, funky or outrageous?

Techies Wed!

Now even the geekiest (and I mean that in only the nicest way, since I am one after all) can declare their love for not only each other but also for the tech world they inhabit.
From Seattle based designer , Jana Brevick and currently sold out on her etsy.com site, comes the JackedāCat 5 Compliant Wedding Set.
“A wedding set for the unconventional! The female ring has a choice of four opaque colors: turquoise, white, orange or black. The male ring stands tall and dramatically transparent. The world is your technological oyster.ā
I doubt that it will ever replace the diamond solitaire as the ring of choice, but these rings DO make a statement.

I received an email update from Lonni Tanksley to highlight these adorable new hair coils. Wouldnāt they look like tiny stars tucked into an updo? The coil design will see that they stay there no matter how much you dance the night away.
Lonni is an indie artist that with a shop on etsy.com. If you havenāt checked out her work you really need to give it a look. Her pieces are so light and airy that they make a perfect addition to not only your summer wedding look but for any time you want to add a little sparkle to your day.
Monogamy as a Marketing Campaign
posted by Leave a Comment
Iām just not sure where I stand on this. Hearts on Fire which according to their press is the pre-eminent consumer brand in the luxury jewelry diamond business is using monogamy to help brand their product. I kind of had it in my head that was already associated with wedding rings, didnāt you?
Their new campaign āMonogamy100ā is being released for print, radio and TV. You can view the ads on their new website. Here is just one little blurb I pulled out of it.
āAs The Worldās Most Perfectly Cut DiamondĀ®, a Hearts On Fire diamond is an enduring declaration of your commitment to a relationship that is deep, rich and meaningful. One that goes beyond conventional definitions. One that exceeds conventional expectations of love and monogamy. And one that deserves a diamond beyond conventional beauty.ā
This quote makes me wonder if they are trying to convince me that if I get a better diamond I will get a better grade of monogamy. HUH?
Iām thinking emerald or sapphire at this point.
Iām In Loveā¦.

With my new necklace/tiara/headband!
You didnāt think that I could go to three different markets and not come home without buying a little something for myself did you??
This time I had to order the piece I wanted and yesterday it arrived. If you read Wedding Dish then you know that I just love the beautiful things that Mandy Grennan at Tigerlilly designs. This year I decided to treat myself to one of her pieces, the gorgeous 20 strand gold and Swarovski crystal piece above.
What I love about the tiaras from Tigerlilly is that they are convertible. Do you see that little chain at the back? It is detachable, transforming it from a tiara/headband to a lovely necklace that you can wear anywhere. I mean come on, you may love your tiara but just how often are you going to be able to wear it after your wedding? Some of the tiaras in the collection come with a chain and others have to be sent back to Mandy to be retrofitted most all are convertible. I say that is a win/win; stunning tiara for your wedding/lasting memory that you can wear for the rest of your life. Score!
Thanks Mandy.
