Be Prepared to be Wowed! with Adina's Bridal

When I came across Adina's Bridal and saw the dresses I immediately thought this is exactly how I envision DIY weddings! Unique, gorgeous, styles to fit every bride, and prices that fit well within a frugal DIY wedding budget.

You can find top designer names at Adina's Bridal like J. Crew, BHLDN, and Adrianna Papell. If you are all about scoring an amazing deal you can even find sample gowns from Justin Alexander, Coco Anais, Tara Keely, & others! One of the best things about browsing Adina's Bridal shop is that you will also find bridesmaid dresses, cover-ups, shoes, bridal accessories & lingerie. I seriously can't get enough of these styles and the look that can be created with the stunning selection in this shop. There are so many cookie cutter online wedding dress boutiques but this is one that stands out with amazing style.

Just look at what is trending on Instagram...

When you are browsing be sure to check out the Event Dresses! I seriously want them all!!!! Such an eclectic collection ranging from vintage to modern... I LOVE it :) I have said it before with many wedding trends and wedding locations and I will say it again in this regard. If I was getting re-married (to my husband of course) and planning another wedding I would be purchasing my bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses at Adina's Bridal.

Wedding Quickie! The Art of Accessorizing with Cassandra Lynne

When planning a DIY wedding your budget does not need to be large to create a gorgeous and memorable wedding. Often times the most simple weddings, with well thought out special details create the biggest wow factor... even more so than a wedding that goes over the top with glitz and glam because you miss all the fine details. I believe less is more when it comes to showing off the natural beauty of a bride and complimenting a gorgeous wedding dress. With a few accessories to really make the overall look pop you can stay on budget and still look like yourself on one of the most memorable days of your life!

Cassandra Lynne is an online wedding accessory shop that has an amazing selection that is beautifully categorized to help you find that perfect finishing touch to your look. I love, love, love the Vintage & Bohemian Collection... I can envision a whole day planned around this one piece!!

Bri's Beloved - MiyabiGrace Cotton Pearl Wedding Jewelry!

OohhhEmmmGeeee! Ready for some wedding gorgeousness? MiyabiGrace is an Etsy shop that sells gorgeous cotton pearl jewelry which is more than perfect for weddings and gifts for the bridal party.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/203440336/classy-14-mm-white-cotton-pearl-earrings?ref=shop_home_active_2

Never heard of cotton pearl jewelry? Its very popular in Japan and even out of stock in the market. Cotton pearl jewelry is only available in Japan since there is only one manufacturer in the world, located in Japan. Cotton pearls are compressed cotton with a pearl coating. Some of the cotton pearl beads in North America are vintage and manufactured in the 1950s. Therefore, cotton pearls are not easily obtainable; they are rare items. Cotton pearls are unique and have a vintage like texture; this jewelry is ideal for classy, vintage, and indie weddings.

MiyabiGrace shared the following about cotton pearls:

It is said that the cotton pearl jewelry appeared in the middle of the 19th century. During the Art Deco era. Multi-layered pearl necklaces become popular, however, the weight of these necklaces was so heavy, therefore, in order to lighten the weight, the cotton pearl beads were invented. Cotton pearl beads had been manufactured until around 1955; however, due to the popularity of plastic pearl jewelry, cotton pearl jewelry disappeared from the market. Recently, beautiful antique-like and lustrous cotton pearl jewelry has become popular again in Japan. The beads began being manufactured again in 2009 by a company in Japan.

Since MiyabiGrace focuses on only cotton pearl jewelry, various sizes and colors are available.

MiyabiGrace makes pierced, clip on, and magnetic earrings with a resin invisible clip for people with metal allergy. MiyabiGrace loves making custom bridal orders so if you see something you like but want it a little different you can request a custom order!

Here's my favourite jewelry piece in MiyabiGrace's shop, what's yours?
