Look of the Month: March
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
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.
