I love all that this necklace has going on. I would change to bow to white but otherwise, it is a great piece of statement jewelry for your special day. It's by Made Her Think and its available at Shopbop.com.

I love these little sequin darlings by Kate Spade.

With the introduction of the spa’s Wedding Collection, brides, grooms and the entire wedding party now have a dedicated treatment menu from which to pamper and prepare for the magical day.



The five-hour “Here Comes the Bride” treatment features a Ruby and Sapphire Massage, Classical Manicure and Pedicure, hair, make-up and eyelash enhancements. For even more indulgence, “Bejewel the Bride” lasts 6.5 hours and includes a Ruby and Sapphire Massage, as well as a Platinum Facial, Platinum Chakra Cleansing, Diamonds-in-the-palm-of-her-hands Manicure, Diamond-on-the-soles-of-her-feet Pedicure, hair, make-up, eyelash enhancements and a healthy Eau Spa lunch.

Eau Spa features 19 Spa Villas, including three spacious Couples’ Spa Villas, providing an intimate experience far beyond treatments, with lavish outdoor garden enclaves, oversized soaking tubs and al fresco rainfall showers for an open-air spa experience and ultimate relaxation either before or after the big day.

Eau Spa is just the beginning when it comes to Ritz-Carlton wedding specialties. The beachside resort is home to four sophisticated wedding locales; couples can say their vows in the outdoor Courtyard, with an infinity pool and Atlantic Ocean as the romantic backdrop or one of the three ballrooms – Ocean, Plaza and Ritz-Carlton – adorned with decadent silk and chandeliers and spacious enough for any size gathering. For a more intimate wedding ceremony, couples can invite their closest friends and family to witness the exchange of vows in a fanciful oceanfront cabana. No matter which venue is chosen, the surf, sand and sunsets of Palm Beach are sure to imbue the day with tranquility and natural beauty.

Statement Jewelry Inspired by Africa: Walid

Walid Al Damirji has designed a line of jewelry that intersects vintage, with heirloom, with tribal Africa. These bespoke pieces, designed especially for Couture Lab, have a earthy but regal feel. I would style these pieces with an off-white or gold wedding gown for the perfect impact. See his entire collection here.

The Ties That Bind You: Alexis Mabille

What great taste you have Alexis Mabille? It is no wonder since the Frenchman worked in the ateliers Ungaro, Ricci and the house of Dior with Galliano and Slimane. I love a well-dressed man. There is just something special about a man in a black tuxedo with an amazing tie around his neck. So if your groom is looking for something different, here is his answer. Alexis Mabille has created ties that you would want to wear! But don't you dare. Let your man have some of the spotlight. The python skin bow tie (the first one), is to die for. See these are his other wares here.

The Epitome of Modern: Bonnie Young

I heart these modern dresses for young girls designed by the talented Bonnie Young. The thought of a flower girl wearing such sumptuous fabrics is so delightful to me. These little beauties have such a modern and grown-up feel. Perfect for a flower girl who carries her own compact mirror in her little purse. See her entire collection here.

PROMO: Shapeez

Looking fab includes ensuring that you are picture perfect. Shapeez will help keep it all smooth under your wedding dress.

The Unbelievabra Ultimate($85) and the Unbelievabra Shortee (a cropped version for $75) pulls it all together for you. It eliminates all visible bra lines, back bulges, and even the feared “muffin top,” effectively and comfortably providing superior breast support as well as slimming of the waist, tummy and back. The Unbelievabra additionally boasts molded foam cups and adjustable straps with no back bands or closures to make the undergarment practically invisible under clothing. And the hem does not roll up! The support, extended back coverage and moisture-wicking qualities of The Unbelievabra’s cropped style, “The Shortee” also makes it a great alternative to the traditional sports bra!

Dainty and Sweet: BTC Elements

I heart this dainty little number by BTC Elements. It is just adorable. If you are having a garden wedding or are just not into the frou frou, this is a great option. Get it at BTC Elements.

The Long Walk: Starry Night Design Studio

Some brides opt for roses petals or a generic tissue runner to grace their long walk down the aisle. But if you are looking for something truly unique, then Starry Night Design Studio has something a little different. You have to want to have a hand-painted aisle runner. After Stephanie decided to paint her aisle runner for her wedding, her friends asked her to create hand-painted designs for their weddings. She quickly realized that this was her calling and Starry Night Design Studio was born. The designs are so beautiful and can definitely be a fantastic keepsake of your wedding day. See more designs and get information on their web site.

A Rose is Still A Rose: Yumi @ Oli

Totally lovin' this vintage rose clutch by Yumi. Available at Oli.

So if you are looking around for a gorgeous ring pillow, here are some great options. I especially love the big sunflower with the gem in the middle. Just lovely. See these and more on their web site.
