I have such a love for shoes, especially fluffy, ruffly, romantic shoes with flowers, bows or embellishments on them. I was in Nordy’s last weekend eyeing the Badgley Mischka sandals for an outfit I’m planning to wear to a special event and had to share them. Similar Posts:

On Sunday I attended a great party put on by White Dress by the Shore and several vendors who’ve moved into wedding row. One of my absolute favorites is Beneath the Gown, a fabulous company developed by master seamstress of White Dress by the Shore, Josie. Beneath the Gown is a bridal lingerie boutique presenting an exquisite collection of exclusive designer lingerie labels featuring french European couture fine laces and hand-made silks perfect for honeymoon, special events or everyday. Josie’s services include complimentary, professional bra fittings and in-house custom design service where we can customize or custom create bustiers, night gowns, and wedding gowns.

I have to admit — I was doing a lot of window shopping for myself while I was in Josie’s beautiful shop. She had some of the most delicate and stunning pieces of lingerie I’ve ever seen. I love the custom aspect too. In our chat we talked about how we can take a piece of my wedding gown and incorporate it into a custom piece of lingerie. Amazing!! I would love to be able to slip into something special that has elements of my wedding gown.

Visit Beneath the Gown on the web to learn more about scheduling an appointment. They are located in Clinton, Connecticut at The White Dress by the Shore. Be sure to tell Josie we sent you!!

I was introduced to Stella & Dot Jewelry and I really LOVE their designs and styles. Their pieces are bold and fashionable. They’d look fabulous on a bridal party – and are perfect for a bride who wants to infuse some of her daily personal style into her look! I love the big necklace “bibs” (as they’re dubbed) especially. It is such a dramatic look!

Pearls are ultimately my favorite jewelry on a bride, with bling being second. I really love colored pearls (I try to wear them as often as possible) and some big colors for spring are yellow, pink (papaya especially), and turquoise.

Big things to come on the blog! Be sure to check back through out the week.

I came across bonzie and instantly fell in love with their style. I knew I wanted something to change my look from ceremony to reception and their rococco antique stained tulle wrap was perfect! bonzie is an independant fashion designer located in Ireland. They often using “upcycled clothing, thrifted trinkets and vintage inspired fabric in an artful blend of tattered chic neo-victorian, steampunk and deconstructed elements!” bonzie is best known for their bridal and fashion bolero’s, wraps, jackets, corsets, and skirts (yes, skirts!!)

Here are some of my new favorites from their collection… they are definitely for the bride who wants to bring a fun fashion element to her bridal look. Be daring!

Silk gazar Channing gown… I love the black ribbon! Although I think it could be accentuated even better with something by Emerson made.

Silk dupioni rosette gown

Gwen dress… has jcrew heeded my call for a short wedding dress? Kind of, but not really. This will have to do! I love this. It’s very winter to me with the layers of chiffon, organza and soft French tulle, and a hand-stitched collage of glass beads, sequins and feathers. But for $2,000 you’d have to bury me in it.

strapless silk taffeta Gracen dress, slub silk Betty dress, and confetti flapper dress…. I love these options for your maids!

and last but not least, my favorite accessories! Love the shoes, but love the jewels more. I don’t really like a heavy shoe with a bridal gown so there wasn’t much to choose from with fall on the horizon.

Happy shopping! Similar Posts:

I realized that I didn’t have a hankie to carry with me down the aisle. Neither of my grandmothers had hankies to loan and my mother didn’t have anything either, so I decided to purchase my own heirloom. I came across this really beautiful hankie from Brass Paper Clip which specialized in vintage items for brides. They have so many cute vintage purses, gloves, hankies, flowers…. heaven! I purchased a beautiful Schiffli Lace hankie and received it yesterday. The one thing that I absolutely love about most etsy.com‘s shops is how personable and detail-minded the owners are — just look at how she packaged the hankie that I bought!

Your Bouquet

This may not be easy to do if you’re wedding color scheme doesn’t compliment blue. But, if it does, this is a nice way to incorperate the tradition. Image courtesy of TheKnot.com

Your Bridal Clutch

I think your bridal clutch is a chic way of adding something blue into your day. I love this satin fluer clutch from J. Crew. It also comes in a variety of other colors, including white, for all you traditional gals.

Your Bridal Shoe

I’m a huge fan of brides wearing colored shoes on their wedding day. It shows off a bit more of your personality, and the chances that you’ll wear the pricey shoe again? Pretty good. I love this blue shoe from Nine West, especially the jewel embellishment and the ruffle on the top. It reminds me of the crumb catchers that are gracing the 2008/2009 bridal gown collections. So pretty!

Blue Handkerchief

This detail is probably my all time favorite. I love the personalized blue stitching on this vintage handkerchief by stichberry on Etsy.com. The best part? It’s only $13!

Blue Rosary Beads

So many brides carry rosary beads with them on their special day. If you don’t have a rosary that is sentimental to you or your family, consider carrying the one above by BeadsofHeaven. You can carry them with you to the alter by hand, tucked in your dress, or like our bride Michelle who had her rosary wrapped around her bridal bouquet.

Blue Gown Embelishments

With the right dress, a little splash of color makes all the difference. I love this dress by Monique Lhuillier. Her Spring 2009 collection is simply gorgeous!

Blue Jewels

Another one of my favorite picks: choosing to wear a blue piece of jewelry on your big day. This broach, from Tiffany, is the perfect blue accessory. Also consider blue inspired earrings, a necklace, or bracelet.
