After last weeks Bridesmaids Dress Round Up, I thought what better way to finish up the perfect bridesmaids look than with a dazzling collection of chic, fabulous jewelry. Turning to some of our favorite stores and designers, we’ve put together an assortment of eye-catching jewels with a variety of price tags that will suit lots of different budgets.

Row One: Vintage inspired and dripping with sparkles, these beauties from J. Crew are the essence of glamour. The Crystal Soiree earrings ($55) are very old Hollywood with loads of modern charm. Dainty and very lady like, the Heirloom Flora earrings ($45) are the perfect addition to a classic dress. And oh, how amazing are the Shimmering Teardrop earrings ($45)? They have just the right amount of glitz without being over the top.

Row Two: The Nordstrom’s Crystal Drop earrings ($28) are simple and sweet and are extremely versatile-coordinating with any style. Bundled in a cluster of gold, The Gilded Bonbon earrings ($42) are as playful as they are stunning. The Oneiros Drops ($32) are subtle in all the right ways with their dangling delicate drops of crystal.

Row Three: Betsey Johnson ($30) channels 60’s glam with these pearl drop earrings. Modern and completely unique, the Gold Orb earrings by Jean Pelle ($36) are a beautiful and ethereal addition to any bridesmaids dress collection. Craving a lavish look? Your bridesmaids will definitely achieve it with Banana Republic’s Pearl Drop earrings ($32).

So much more to come!!

From Ken…One of my craftiest brides, Youn Lee, shared her handmade invitations on SMP back in October.  Well last month her much-awaited wedding at Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham, NC finally arrived and her personal flair continued!

Youn chose a bold purple color scheme as a personal tribute – it was her late mother’s favorite color – which she accented with pink.  She and her bridesmaids were the center of attention even amidst the garden’s Spring blossoms, each of them wearing delightful peep-toed pink pumps by Glint.  (Glint appears to be sold exclusively at Nordstrom).

So much more to come!
