Accessory Wednesday: It's All Twisted

When I got married a few years ago I knew I wanted a little bling for my bouquet, but I didn't find any that I liked. So, I made them myself. I created bouquet jewelry for myself and my bridesmaids. I then took the swarovski crystals and pearls and made earrings out of them for each of the girls and a pair for myself to not only have a memory of my wedding day but to be a little green and repurpose something from the wedding.

The bouquet jewelry can be stems with a single jewel on the end or then can be clusters. I wanted a name that seemed fitting and since I twist so much wire to make these, I chose the name It's All Twisted. Top 2 photos taken by VCS Photo of a bouquet by The Enchanted Florist.

I can also make cake jewelry like this flower here (Cake by A Sweet Design), or any shape or letter you're looking for.

Then, after the wedding, i can reuse the jewels and create a bracelet like the one you see here, or...

...perhaps a pair of earrings...

Every items is custom made and I would love to create something for your special day.

Accessory Wednesday: DIY Shoe Bling

Don't forget about the shoes. You may have seen lately that the trend is to have fabulous and colorful shoes to peak out from under your fabulous white gown. But to take it one step further, you can bling them out yourself.

When Jasmine Star ( a photographer worth blog stalking and knowing) said that her bride Alicia customized a pair of Manolo Blahnik's people were so excited. What they may not have realized, which the bride and photographer, Alicia of The Modern Type Photography, found the fab shoes at a Neiman Marcus outlet and the bling was a brooch she wore at another wedding, and she borrowed one from the other girls to have 2 that matched.

How to Bling Your Shoes:
1. Buy Your Shoes, the more colorful and fabulous, the better
2. Buy 2 brooches that match, which could be your something borrowed, blue, old, or new
3. Wear them with pride!!!
