Bow Tie Ring Bearer Pillow

I first saw this bow tie ring bearer pillow in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. And, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Martha is the queen of wedding DIY, so check out the DIY direction on her website to create your own bow tie pillow. I am going to try to make one when things slow down, it does look super easy.

Materials - ink-jet printer, 1 yard of menswear fabric, a silk weave works best, white pencil and a handful of batting, cord that matches the fabric.

Pearly White Accessories

Pearls are back! Pearl accessories such as a statement necklace, bracelet or headband can transform any woman from blah to wow.  A little known fact - the world's most expensive gown made in the 1950s was made with rare cultured pearls that took 15 years to collect and eight dressmakers two months to complete at a cost of $100,000. Wow!

A women needs ropes and ropes of pearls.

SJP Sparkling Solid Perfect Bracelet

Accessories that work double duty are a win-win! Sarah Jessica Parker's chunky cuff bracelet holds a fruity-floral secret inside. Yes, the secret compartment holds sparkling solid perfume for easy touch ups. Better yet, the bracelet/perfume duo retails for $35.00, but I found a few on Amazon for $13.00 - what a steal! This would make a great bridesmaids gift and look great on your ladies as they strut down the aisle.

Wedding Statement Jewelry - Necklace

Last year the hot wedding "it" item was statement jewelry (bracelets) and this year the "it" must have item is a statement necklace. I have to caution brides to select wisely because this fashion trend isn't for the faint of heart.  The Anna & Ava Charlotte Pearl statement necklace is available at Dillards.

Wedding Guests - Fashion Hats

I absolutely love how wedding guests in Europe dress up for the weddings. I know the Royal wedding brought attention to hats, but this is a tradition that has been passed down over the years. The women love fancy hats and fasinators, the bigger the better.  Check out these stylish guests in their millinery finest.  Pictures by photographer  Bertrand Celce.

This is my favorite - great accessories

Cuff Couture

When they say you can find anything on the Internet, it is so true. Cuff Couture is a trendy fashion accessory. Leave that bag at home and carry everything you need in the cuff from id, cash, credit cards, lip gloss, keys and more. The product was worn by fashionista Carrie Underwood at the Country Music Awards (luv those shoes Carrie). Yep, I could see this as a chic wedding accessory.

Top Hat - Wedding Style

Have you ever thought about wearing a wedding hat instead of a veil? Well, if you could wear a pleated hat like this - who wouldn't. I love everything about this hat! Don't be afraid to rock your personal style on your wedding day with a bowler, cloche, fascinator or top hat. The possibilities are endless.

Re-use your Aisle Runner

While brainstorming with my fashionista bride Tene about her aisle runner for her wedding, we decided to reuse her custom runner from Original Aisle Runner.  So, after the wedding, I cut the runner but I made sure to include the part with the couple's wedding name/date. The runner was placed on a table with their broom and a note for guests instructing them to write their best wishes. The bride later framed the piece as a reminder of their special day. Photographer, Donna Van Buren captured all of the wedding pictures at the Mansion on Forsyth Park.
