Take a gorgeous setting, add two beautiful people, throw in a talented photographer, and you have the perfect recipe for an amazing engagement shoot. Shot in Mt. Olive, Alabama, the rustic setting was perfect for Jaime, who grew up on a horse farm, and Nathan, a lifelong outdoors-man. "We wanted something very natural and organic, outside, and simple" said Jaime.

I've known Fen of Bead Flora & Jewels for nearly as long as I've been an Etsy artisan. Her beautiful hand beaded floral creations are truly something special. Fine craftsmanship and elegant design are hallmarks of her exquisite work. Her designs were also included in the 2012 MTV Movie Awards celebrity gift lounge via The Artisan Group. Read on for more of my fantastic interview with Fen.

New From Rew : Statement Necklace

Vintage Rhinestone Statement Necklace

I have long wanted to make a statement piece - a one of a kind, stand out original piece. But I've been so busy with new baby and custom bridal orders that time and inspiration have definitely been lacking. Well - I recently came across a parcel of stones that gave me the inspiration I needed, and I managed the time when my mother-in-law was in town helping out (yes... I have help and readily accept it whenever it is offered).
