Dress the Dress: Amy
Discover…dressing the dress for Amy. Amy is a successful dentist based in California who will be wearing one of the most gorgeous wedding dresses I have ever seen. What better complement to this Amsale gown than the “Riviera” comb, one of our newest Spring 2010 creations. This medium-sized filigree comb offers the versatility of being worn in front, on the side, or in the back. Its shape and soft vine design looks fabulous with the gown’s floral embellishment, providing the perfect balance to the drama of the dress without being overpowering. The comb is custom made using sterling silver, freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystals. I would keep this look clean, simple and chic without accessorizing too much. The only other accessory I would add is a pair of earrings like the “Edina” earrings shown below. Amy submitted pictures of her bouquet, ceremony site and reception site, all included below. As you can see, she will have a very sophisticated wedding…just perfect for such a sophisticated bride. 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!
San Miguel de Allende Tiara
(Re)Discover…the tiara. A bride recently emailed Adrienne of Luxurious Weddings for advice on a tiara to coordinate with her Jasmine gown from the Melissa Sweet collection. Adrienne submitted our San Miguel de Allende design which I thought was beautiful so I wanted to share it with you. Please also see my veil choice for the Jasmine gown. Indulge!
Technological Mishaps
Discover…the downside to technology. In trying to upload an image for a recent blog, I accidentally deleted a few posts from the months of December and January. I was unable to retrieve them back. A frustrating experience but on the brighter side, at least I did not lose all of the previous posts. Over the next couple of weeks, I will attempt to repost the lost blogs so brides can enjoy them once again. Indulge!
See You At Macy’s
Discover…the magic of Macy’s. I am excited to be at the Macy’s Bridal Salon in Minneapolis for a trunk show this Friday, Feb 12th thru Sunday, Feb 14th . Address is 700 On the Mall
Minneapolis, Minnesota; Tel #612-375-2162. View the latest designs from my two brands: Christina Garcia Accessories of Distinction and Christina Garcia Green Label. I would love to meet with you to discuss customization options. The trunk show will be done vis-a-vis Adele Wechsler whose gowns are synonymous with eco-couture. What better way to accessorize your eco-friendly wedding gown than with flowers made from eco-friendly silks and pineapple fiber (which is a renewable resource). What’s more, purchasing a headpiece or veil from Christina Garcia Green Label plants a tree in the Atlantic Forrest. Perfect for the bride who has promised to love and cherish…her planet. Indulge!
As Seen In: Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton
Discover…Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton. The editors chose our Barcelona comb to grace the pages of their Winter issue. We are honored to be a part of this luxury hotel’s magazine. Let the Ritz-Carlton help you get every detail perfect. In their own words, “Your Dreams. Our Pleasure.” Indulge!
