Wedding Jewelry: Round-Up

If you have a wedding this spring or summer it's time to start honing in on the details...like your jewelry! Choosing your wedding jewelry is a very important decision as your special day (and your jewelry!) will be immortalized in photographs. Years down the road you'll likely still have a framed wedding photo hanging around and your kids will want to see the day you married their Daddy.

As you can see, choosing your bridal jewelry is a very serious decision. You'll want to look for something that can stand the test of time and fits your style. Are you normally outgoing and love show-stopping pieces? Then going bigger with a statement type piece is ok. If you're normally understated and classic, you'll want to look for daintier, classic wedding jewelry like rhinestones and pearls.

I for one love bejeweled hair pieces and clips for an unexpected sparkle and charm.  Swoop your hair back to one side with a vintage pin or have a clip poking out from underneath your up-do.

Here's a look at some of my favourite wedding appropriate jewelry pieces available today.

Colour Moment: Turquoise

The first jewelry I fell in love with was a tray full of turquoise and silver jewels from a shop on a Native Reserve near my cottage. Something about those two colours together just spoke to me and will forever remind me of gloriously hot summers, teepees, and the sweet smell of a warm summer breeze. I wanted every piece of turquoise jewelry in the tray.  The chunkier the better. To this day I still love turquoise jewelry and the bohemian luxe flair that it ads to any outfit.

As a throwback to my first jewelry love, I've rounded up my current favourite turquoise pieces on the market.

Line Lust: Samantha Wills

Two nights ago, stunning jewelry designer Samantha Wills invited media and bloggers to step inside her jewelry world with her New York Fashion Week Presentation at The Crosby Street Hotel. Her line is bold, intricate, and breathtakingly beautiful and the decor for the event was no exception. Suspending blooms hung from chandeliers and installation pieces, and moss and indigo colored roses emerged from every corner. 

Here are some of my favourite Samantha Wills jewelry pieces interspersed with some of her instagram shots. This lady has mad style and each piece is definitely a show stopper - enjoy!
