Discover…real brides. I had the pleasure of receiving a few photos from one of our brides in Australia. She wore a beautiful Monique Lhuillier gown and selected the Grand Canal veil. She had these kind words to share, “I just wanted to say thank you for my beautiful veil. I LOVED it so much and it perfectly complemented my dress. Thank you for all the trouble you went to to get it to me on time. “ Thank you Elizabeth for thinking of us and sending the beautiful photos. Indulge!

Dress the Dress: Dina

Discover…dressing the dress for Dina. Hello Australia! Dina is looking for a pair of “killer chandelier earrings” and a hair accessory to complement her gorgeous Jim Hjelm lace gown and lace Louboutin shoes. I am in love with these shoes! She plans to wear her hair down in soft waves so prefers a small clip. Dina’s favorite stone and birth stone is pearl. Also, she would like to create her accessories in 24k gold plate. With this in mind, we created a custom earring incorporating more pearl and suggested a simple, classic hair clip. The accessories as shown are sterling silver but we offer the following finishes: antique, 24k gold plate, and vintage finish. In addition, we plan to substitute the center crystal in the clip for a pearl. We love custom design and can accommodate simple to complex ideas providing you with a sketch for your approval. This is what Dina had to say about her experience “Thank you so much for this detailed reply–I wasn’t expecting such a customized touch! Brilliant……I really appreciate the personalized proposal, a testament to your company’s service.” We welcome all brides to submit pictures of their gowns along with their accessory budget to info@christinagarciabridal.com if they wish to participate in Dress the Dress.

Look of the Month: March

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 02:40:24 +0000

Discover…March’s Look of the Month. I absolutely love this veil for its intricate beading and embroidery. From a distance it emulates lace and has an amazing heirloom design. A statement piece in a chapel length, its shorter counterpart has also been increasing in popularity. Our gorgeous model looks fabulous in a simple gown but I also love pairing an elaborate veil with an equally intricate gown. As shown in light ivory it has been custom designed in pink and also silver for an inspiring twist on a classic. Indulge!

Dress the Dress: Muriel

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:11:59 +0000

Discover…dressing the dress for Muriel. Muriel is interested in earrings and a hair accessory to complement her amazing ‘Uma’ gown by Melissa Sweet. ‘Uma’ is a silk organza strapless ball gown with a fabric petal embellished skirt. What I love most about her gown is the movement created by the gorgeous petals. I would like to play up on this detail with a flower from the Christina Garcia Green Label collection. This design features a combination of organic silks which gives the flower dimension. It’s a soft and romantic style which suits her gown beautifully. We welcome all brides to submit pictures of their gowns along with their accessory budget to info@christinagarciabridal.com if they wish to participate in Dress the Dress. Indulge!

Dress the Dress: Talia

Discover…dressing the dress for Talia. This is a repost of a previous entry that was accidentally deleted. Talia wrote us: “I just bought an Ines di Santo gown called ‘Nena.’ It’s simple, yet elegant and has a little silver and pearl beading. I would love to find earrings and a hair broach to go with my dress. Do you have any ideas? I love your jewelry!” A brooch is a wonderful alternative to a traditional headpiece. They can be worn on the hair on the day of and then worn as a traditional brooch thereafter. Most Christina Garcia brooches can also even be worn as pendants. The center embroidery of this beautiful gown reminds me of our Versailles brooch whose sharp peak mimics that of the gown. The Ashurst earrings also reflect a similar shape. The bracelet finishes the entire look perfectly. Talia will be having a Santa Barbara wedding at the Biltmore (see below). The ceremony is outside and then the party is in the ballroom. Her look is simple enough for an outside ceremony yet elegant enough for an indoor ballroom reception.
