Swarovski Crystal Earrings at Etsy

Exquisite Swarovski crystal bridal earrings with delicate white and cream pearls and CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski elements from Lithuania, an Eastern European country with a population no larger than Los Angeles.  Earrings so stunning it's practically criminal to just wear them one day.  Are they a bit pricey?  Yes, but countless brides have claimed “they are even more beautiful than the pictures.”  Is that even possible?

Pink Wedding Dessert Ideas

Pink wedding desserts - I should, I would and I probably could, but I can’t seem to get over my school girl crush on the color pink.  Pink bubblegum, pink cotton candy, any and everything...pink on a stick!  Store-bought lollipops and pink Jelly Belly jelly beans make your display fun and kid-friendly.  Even dipping ordinary pretzels into pink icing makes a (mostly) nutritious and very affordable treat for your pink wedding dessert table.

Romantic Wedding Cake Toppers

Romantic wedding cake toppers - exquisite and affordable figurines that capture one sweet moment in time.  After months of negotiating with a DJ who thinks it's HIS big day and not yours, a seamstress who seems to charge by the stitch, and a baker with a non-refundable delivery charge even if you pick up the cake yourself, remind yourself of the long and tender kisses that made this day - not about business - but all about two people who fell madly in love.

Clay Wedding Flowers

Clay wedding flowers – made of soft polymer clay by designer Diane Phillips.  After taking the clay flower making classes at the DECO Clay Craft Academy in Honolulu, she became devoted to creating exquisite clay bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, and large clay wedding cake flowers – pink and blue peonies and fuchsia, orange and yellow hibiscus.  Featured at Diane’s store on Etsy is her runaway best seller, a gorgeous clay gardenia hair flower as seen in Southern Weddings Magazine.

Badgley Mischka Bridal Shoes

Badgley Mischka bridal pumps - normally in a price range I can't wrap my checkbook around.  But these sweet satin bridal shoes embellished with their sparkling jeweled rhinestone brooches are worth every penny, even if it means circling the block to avoid the subtle nutty tones of the freshly brewed hazlenut coffee and the sinfully delicious cinnamon rolls at Panera's every day on my way to work.  A month of such self-sacrifice, or a winning $100 lottery ticket and I'm halfway there to my favorite pair of Badgley Mischka satin shoes!
