I saw this bride a few weeks ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the boldness of her jewelry! You don’t see many brides with big jewelry on their wedding day, but it’s becoming more and more popular. This couple looks awesome! Photos by the talented Aaron Shintaku.

If you are on the hunt for a super unique statement necklace for your wedding day, you may want to try etsy. I found these vintage inspired beauties by A Luscious Thing:

for the right bride, these could be a great accessory!

did you guys see these?! they were featured on the front page of etsy. I love them! Very very cute… and what a nice little gift they could be for your bridal party (if your having somewhat of a rustic, or wooland-y type of affair). It’s the small things in life, right?

You have to check out etsy seller Woodland Belle. she’s got some other designs too, if you want something more traditional like flowers or birds.

Veils aren’t for everyone, and who says they should be? Here are some gorgeous alternatives for your wedding day.

These accessories have such a girly charm to them, and I happen to love it! The layering of sheer fabrics gives this light, elegant, flutter-away type of beauty.  And of course, custom designs are available! From the Mollusa etsy shop:

ok, I definitely haven’t seen this done before, but I think I like it. These bridesmaids are wearing white pencil skirts with pink tops. I love the flower detail on the belts.

I’m going to give the bride a unique style award too because of her hair. How often these days do we see brides with simple, straight, styles? I think her hair and accessories are perfection.

Happy Monday everyone! I want to start the week with something good that I saw last week. I follow Millie Holloman Photography on twitter and last Friday, Millie had my attention for hours as she posted these tables one by one. Each one is great inspiration, especially for the bride that’s going for something a little easy-going, a little etsy-ish (handmade & unique). Photographers Millie and Amanda took these at the Orton Plantation in Winnabow, North Carolina. All designs were done by Jennifer of Salt Harbor Designs.
