More Beautiful Bridal Accessories

Today's Weddings are all about Accessories!

My daughter's bouquet
Pink and Cream Spray Roses with Pearl Studded Stephanotis


My dear friend Monica of The White Bench was recently featured.....yes FEATURED in
not one, but TWO magazines!!


                                Monica's silk memory bridal bouquet was recently featured in
SOMERSET LIFE!

Read more about it here and here

Monica says, "I envisioned the bride walking along the aisle wearing a meaningful bouquet made with her mother's wedding dress or veil turned into beautiful rosettes, adorned with brooches or earrings previously enjoyed by her grandmother, beads or pearls from vintage necklaces that hold a special memory... "an unusual way to tell a family tale".

She was also featured in the Winter Issue of ALTERED COUTURE
and she has graciously allowed me to use her beautiful pictures here
for all of you to see!













I found a few other "takes" on the not-so-traditional bridal bouquet.....
All made with vintage/newer rhinestone jewelry





Swarovski Pearls and crystals bridal necklace
$189.00


Beautiful Hair Brooch with Feathers
$38.00


Bridal Ribbon Rhinestone Headband Hair Accessory









Valentino Shoes










The Pour La Victoire "Stella" shoes (Zappos.com) have all the classic nuptial markings -- white satin, decorative bow, peep toe -- but the sole is a vivid aqua.

birdcage veil with floral detail


Garter belts just MIGHT come back in fashion if they were all this pretty!

The BEST accessory of all is LOVE and a gorgeous SMILE!

Stephanie

The Powder Room

The Powder Room

Thought I would share a few pictures of our powder room with you.

The handsome man in the gold oval frame is my paternal grandfather. Who says it is inappropriate to put family pics in the loo?

I have a small collection of beaded purses, not nearly as many as my dear friend Lorena!


I purchased these little button-top baby shoes at an antiques shop in Salado many years ago. The decopauged print was a garage sale find.


My maternal grandmother crocheted the doily & tabletopper that I draped across the towel bar. The heart holds an instant ancestor & a vintage Gibson Girl post card.


My sweet friend Celeste painted the precious little angel tealite holder.


One of my all-time favorite finds, a handpainted plate with a Victorian couple on it.


More angels ~ the oval angel soap is a gift from my sweet friend, Vickie.

My daughter gifted me with the sweet little shelf & teddy bear. I added a tattered heart.

A special tea cup print & Victorian boot print.

An angel crafted by my sister-in-law from a lacy Battenburg napkin.


Click to read the sentiments.

A cross-stitched guest towel on a lacy doily.

A bunny at the base of the sink.


Hugs,
