    I think I've mentioned this before, but I can be painfully indecisive. Pair that with the fact that I don't normally wear a lot of jewelry and deciding on a necklace for my wedding day is almost impossible. I want something simple and that probably doesn't involve diamonds. The next logical choice would be pearls, but I don't think a standard strand of pearls really fits my personality or the level of formality we're going for. Then I saw this picture of the always lovely Molly (from her knot bio): {Photography by Heather Cook Elliott}The necklace is just one long strand of coin pearls with so...

    That is the question. Our thoughts: When it comes to accessorizing for the big day, necklaces should always be an accoutrement as opposed to the show stopper -- that's reserved for YOU (and the dress, of course). Here are a few things to consider: Wearing a necklace with a simple, clean-lined gown can add a bit of pizazz and really bring the whole look together. If you’re wearing a dress that’s all about the fabric (with minimal lace and beading) and you really want to make a statement, consider something more elaborate—maybe even with a hint of color. It's always beautiful when...

    I thought that you might like this cute little number that was sent to us by WristieLove Wedding over at Etsy. A brown suede ‘limb’ dangles from a decorative gold chain. Each ‘limb’ will slightly vary in shape, lending to it’s raw, natural appeal which makes it an ideal compliment to an event following a rustic, eco, or Fall wedding. Super super cute for only $18!...

    Let’s face it: everyone loves a gift with his or her name or initial on it. I can remember being a little kid in a gift shop, flipping through personalized keychains hoping to find one with ‘Emma’ on the front. (It barely ever existed.) When I did find one, it was satisfying for some reason to see it in print. Who’s with me? Well, I’m pretty sure that feeling ever fades because I still love to receive gifts with my initial or name stamped right onto it. Add hand-embroidery to it and the adorableness factor increases dramatically. Case in point? Meet The Merriweather Council...

    They are back! Necklaces that layer and add depth to your evening attire. There has been an emergence of layered necklaces paired with coctail dresses or even bridesmaids gown. We are loving this necklace by designer Malene Birger Source: Net a porter Below you will find a collage of some great ways you can wear and style your layered look. If you think this would be too much for your wedding day or your black tie affair, think about wearing the style to your less formal events like your rehearsal dinner of bridesmaid luncheon. This will also be your chance to wear your family heirlooms. Gr...

    We have a very talented lady in our midst who handmade the attached ABC Necklace. I love it and I hope that you do also. If you are interested in purchasing one they can come a couple of different ways: She’s added a light blue mystic quartz briolette to one, which the ABC logo is in light blue (but she also have these same briolette in a pink and a lemon color). The briolette can be worn with the pendant or without it, or even take the pendant off and have a second necklace with just the briolette. Or you could just wear the pendant without the chain also. Also, each pendant will look a t...

    UPDATE: A winner has been chosen and the contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered!! A couple weeks ago, Erin’s Vintage Glam post included an image of a lovely necklace which was created by Krissy Miller of Designs by Krissy. I love the fact that Krissy incorporates vintage brooches into her custom designs to create something new out of something old. Lucky for us (and even luckier for you!), Krissy is giving away one of her gorgeous hand-crafted necklaces to a Flights of Fancy reader! This lovely little gem features a vintage crystal brooch asymmetrically set along three rows ...

    Next weekend my maid of honor will be trying on what I hope will become the bridesmaids dresses. They'll be black tea length dresses and I really want to tie the green in somehow, probably with jewelery. The necklace above from Banana Republic is my current favorite but I can't decide if it's too "much" or not. Through the magic of illustrator I put a rough sketch of it on the dress model:I think I really like it paired with the actual dress! Thoughts?...
