Trendwatch : Mismatched Bridesmaids

Gone are the days of uncomfortable, unflattering, one time wear, matchy bridesmaid dresses. The growing trend is for brides to embrace a mismatched approach to their attendant's attire. Bridesmaids are now wearing dresses that not only fit their body shapes, but also their personalities.

In The Details: Personalized Hangers

So here's your warning - this is a blog post about hangers. Seriously. But hear me out - I assure you these are no ordinary hangers. These are beautiful, artisan crafted works of art. With many modern brides looking for ways to add personal and meaningful touches to their wedding day, an entire industry has grown up around customized bridal party hangers. Not only are they practical, but they are also sentimental and can make for some great photos!

Maile + Gerry : Minerals Resort Wedding

Today's real wedding feature showcases Maile and Gerry's Minerals Resort Wedding. Located in Vernon, New Jersey, part of the larger Crystal Springs Resort, the romantic venue perfectly reflected their personal style. As Maile told me, "It was a really easy choice for us. The location and ambiance were perfect for our rustic taste".

R.E. Style Feature : I Am Maryann

For today's Rew Elliott Style feature, I am pleased to introduce I Am Maryann, a custom jewelry company with a message. The design is simple and elegant - two charms, three words - but the message is powerful. With a line consisting primarily of necklaces and key chains, her products are perfect for brides looking for special and meaningful gifts for their bridesmaids, spouse, or wedding party members. I love that you can choose from one of her ready to go "I AM" statements, or customize your own purposed mantra.
