Something New… and Bewitchingly Blue!
Fashion journalist Wendy Kaur has discovered that wedding accessories in French designer jewelry are very floral-inspired this year, yet possess a distinctively artistic twist – perfect for the unblushing bride who wants to spotlight her eclectic aire. Deux Fleurs by celebrated Parisian jeweler Lydia Courteille in turquoise, green garnets, diamonds and black gold (4500€) “evokes a sense of light-heartedness and bucolic bliss,” muses Courteille. Encapsulated in two flowers but forged onto one band to symbolize your union, the turquoise gem emits a joyful, refined brilliance that will translate to you and to him.
~ Lydia Courteille, 231 rue Saint Honore, Paris, 75001

Tips
  • #16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
    Reception spaces are taking on a comfort theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry ambiance.  Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers!  You can also use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!

  • # 6  RECIPES FOR FAVORS
    Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc.  Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

  • #11 QUICK FIX
    Traveling with an emergency kit is like the American Express campaign, “Don’t leave home without it.” It should have everything from panty hose and nail glue to smelling salts and Tums, but the most commonly used item is SAFETY PINS!  Although you should have a needle and thread, I have resorted to using safety pins for fixing hems on tuxedos, bustling the brides gown, pinning broken bra straps and creating a veil or headpiece out of tulle when the bride’s was left at home.  Safety pins are great for a “quick fix.”
