Personalization is Always in Fashion!
Discover…the many ways to personalize your wedding. Last year, we introduced the Monogram Collection of veils. Imagine your initials incorporated into your veil’s embroidery and beading. You can make your monogram as obvious or as inconspicuous as you wish. Most of our veil styles can accomodate for a little bit of personalization so you are not limited to the Monogram Collection. Christina Garcia veils are beaded and/or embroidered by hand on the finest of tulles you can imagine. The Monogram Collection is, most certainly, an exquisite and intimate way of expressing yourself. Indulge!

At the Party
Discover…the Martha Stewart Party. The culmination of NY Bridal Fashion Week is a lavish cocktail party hosted by Martha Stewart Weddings. Each year, I look forward to this event as it gives me a chance to catch up with my valued retailers and editors. I also get to indulge on the food and desserts! This year was no exception. The party was held at the legendary Tavern on the Green in Central Park. There were tastefully done buffet tables with a heavenly assortment of finger foods. There was a dessert table and yes, even a candy bar. There was a wonderful live band which not only added to the excitement but also allowed for dancing to occur all night long. Indulge!

Earth Angel
Discover…the Christina Garcia Green Collection. At Bridal Fashion Week in NY this year, we launched yet another first in the bridal accessory industry. The Green Collection is a line of eco-friendly hair accessories for brides who have taken a vow to love and cherish their planet (’Earth Angels,’ as I’d like to call them). The entire collection is made mainly of pineapple fabric, a renewable resource. For more on this heirloom fabric, please visit our website and click on “Quality” then “Materials.” Each purchase from this collection plants a tree (in honor of the bride and groom) at the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered forests in the world. The pieces are named after endangered plant species and will come in boxes made of banana fiber, another renewable resource. Please browse below for a sneak peek of the Green Collection. This was a hit among both the press and buyers in NY. We are proud to be the first bridal accessory company to offer couture hair accessories for eco-conscious brides. Indulge!
