Vendor Spotlight: Adorn Bride

On Wednesday I attended The Wedding Salon in Manhattan and while there, I met the lovely ladies behind Adorn Brides. I hadn’t heard of the company before our meet and greet, but the concept behind the company has been around for awhile. Adorn Brides lends fabulous jewels to brides for their wedding day and they are the only company I know of that deals exclusively in wedding jewelry rental. Their collection is gorgeous and I got to try on one of their $20,000 vintage diamond bracelets! The representatives of Adorn also mentioned that they do buy specialty pieces for brides and are not limited to their current inventory. Isn’t that fabulous? They do carry a wide variety of styles but I love that they will purchase jewelry on a brides behalf.

There has been so much press and buzz surrounding them, too. They’ve been in Grace Ormonde’s Wedding Style Magazine, InStyle Weddings, Inside Weddings, and on The View!

They offer a generous program for Jubilee brides where they can receive very special promotional offers.

Wedding Gown Style: Old Hollywood Glamour

For the past few nights I’ve been entrenched in finding some old hollywood glamour inspired wedding gowns. I really love the classic silhouettes of screen sirens past, and fully believe that it is every woman’s right to channel Rita Hayworth or Marylin Monroe on her wedding day! Some elements you should look for in a gown if you are planning an old hollywood based soiree are sweet-heart necklines with mermaid, drop-waist, and curve accentuating gowns. Stick with satin, Silk-charmeuse and Chantilly lace. Delicate bead work and crystals are also a signature component of this style. I also recommend a faux fur or feather shawl to add an extra bit of glam!

For more inspiration, read our post on Dita von Teese , the ultimate fashionista who infuses the glamour of the 40′s and 50′s into her style.

Your Something Blue: My Picks & Ideas!

I love this tradition and I’ve found that most brides do as well. Here are my picks for items to consider as your something blue.

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.

Fabulous Find: Kate Spade Clutch @ 60% off!

Sometimes grim, rainy mornings are the best mornings to get your to-do list accomplished. So, what was on my to-do list this morning, you ask? To research a new fabulous bag for myself! I’m leaning toward the Louis Vuitton Manhattan PM bag or a traditional Burberry handbag (I know there is a world of difference between them!) and during my search, I decided to hit up bagborroworsteal.com to see if they had any new inventory in their outlet section. No, I am not an advocate of renting a purse… because my motto is if you have to rent it, you still can’t afford it! I do enjoy their outlet section of never used or gently used hand bags. Why? Because the discount is amazing, the bags are in excellent shape, and it is a much better and safer alternative to eBay.

Regardless, the point of this post is to share with you the AMAZINGLY discounted “Olivia” clutch by Kate Spade in both chocolate and ivory. This clutch screams glam and is now super affordable to all of us regular folks (marked down 60%!). Enjoy, and happy buying!
