The Piece in the CenterWhen it comes to planning my own wedding, I wanted to put as many special touches in every detail the way we've done for other weddings. I also had to be very mindful of the cost since my fiancé and I are paying for everything ourselves. So in this blog, I'd like to talk about our centerpieces.

Museum PieceI was asked to design a piece for the Action/RE-Action Runway show. "Touching Warms the Art" is an exhibition of jewelry made from tactile, non-precious materials hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Crafts. For the fashion show, each clothing designer selected a piece of jewelry from the show and designed a garment in response to it. I chose a magnificent wire neckpiece by Berenice Ramirez, and made this dress (many thanks to Gretchen Jones for modeling). You can see more photos from the show here....

Pretty Hair PiecesOne of my current favorite bridal style trends is the hair piece. Today's Brides have the choice of pearls, flowers, feathers, & bows to add both style and personality to an updo or a veil.This pretty flower by oh my deer completes the bride's messy updo, perfectly. {Once Wed}I adore these lovely yet understated pieces found on etsy.
