What bride doesn't want to sparkle on her wedding day?
One of my favorite things about planning was deciding on jewelry. I went simple because my dress and headpiece are pretty ornately beaded, but I researched several options from pricey couture to rhinestone fabulous.
Amy's Bridal Accessories
My thing is jewelry and handbags because I don't like the way clothes fit, and shoes get scuffed so easily. So I always enjoy looking at new jewelry designs.
Amy's Bridal Accessories handcrafts bridal jewelry using cultured freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals in Argentium sterling silver. You can customize your order down to the shade of crystal.
The Web site,www.amysbridalaccessories.com, offers fun, chic choices.
Blog reader Jessica Biel suggested GlamForLess.com,www.glamforless.com, which has a great selection of pearl and rhinestone accessories for weddings and proms. Prices are very reasonable.
My favorite site, one I visit often just to look at new offerings, is Janeliunas Jewelry, www.jansjewells.com. While the site offers vintage and fine antique jewelry, it also features very well done reproductions of Art Deco, Edwardian filigree, Art Nouveau and Victorian designs.
Janeliunas Jewelry
I bought a pair of garnet earrings in silver there a couple years ago. They look like antiques but cost about $50.
You can even have your engagement ring created at the site.
Maybe the best place to find wedding accessories is ebay. I found a headpiece that retailed for more than $300 and paid a little over $20 for it.
