This post is in honor of the late Manuel Mota, Creative Director of Pronovias.  Manuel's talents transcended his designs into an inspiration for our business.  His creativity was the perfect expression of our ideal bride, and his collections graced our girls beautifully.  While we didn't know him personally, his spirit truly touched us.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

How to Accessorize Theia Sleeveless Petal Gown

Style Sessions with Urvi

My bride this week is looking for jewelry to go with her Theia sleeveless petal gown, for a destination wedding in Thailand {hello, jealous!}.  I always imagine destination weddings to be more about the feeling of the event, location and love being exchanged, rather than extravagent styling. 

Style Sessions with Urvi: Amsale Cagney

While it may not be in season, this Amsale sweetheart ballgown didn't lose its stye.  My bride this week is hosting a small, intimate winter wedding and was challenged with the darker finish of the brooch.  Most jewelry she found was too "sparkly" (can there be such a thing?) to match.  She definitely came to the right place - we offer our jewelry in shiny and antique finishes - so no matter the style, I know we'll have a winner.

Read on to see my top picks for this gorgeous Amsale gown!

Style Sessions with Urvi: Pronovias Uley

It's no secret Pronovias designs some of my favorite wedding gowns in the glamours / affordable / chic category.  Their 2013 Glamour Collection is, of course, to die for and endlessly elegant.  One of my latest brides was looking for some earrings to go with her Uley gown, and I couldn't help but to create some of my own fantasty bridal jewelry sets.

Read on to see my favorite looks with this classic princess dress.

Style Sessions with Urvi: Style Me Pretty Takes Over

There are few bridal resource powerhouses, and Style Me Pretty -- always stunning with their gorgeous wedding inspiration posts -- is no exception!  They covered some fabulous designers for both wedding gowns and bridesmaid looks from bridal week, and I had to recap after their amazing accessory picks.  Thank you SMP for featuring our jewelry!!

Style Sessions with Urvi: Badgley Mischka Bridal Spring 2013

I love Badgley Mischka bridal gowns - everything from the fit, to design, to selection - so I've chosen my top three dresses from the spring 2013 collection to fantasy style for the ultimate TEJANI girl.

Style Sessions with Urvi: Marchesa Bridal 2013 Picks

My vision of the TEJANI bride is elegant, chic and little eclectic - her style is her own - and she loves to make bold statements. I was blown away by Marchesa's 2013 bridal collection; it's the perfect combination of whimsy and romance and finally something different than the ever popular ruffle bottom gown!

Wedding Jewelry by Theme {As Seen in CeciStyle Magazine}

My first rule of thumb when accessorizing gowns for my brides is to assess the dress! At this point, it’s likely that your gown has already been inspired by your theme, so while the overall tone is important to maintain, you must first pay attention to the lines of the dress and embellishments to guide you in your search for the best jewelry.

I’ve selected some of the most popular wedding trends I curate looks for, with a few styling tips. Read on and see where your look fits!

Fashion{ably Late}: Last-Minute Picks for Fall Wedding Accessories Trends

As fall is coming to a close, we have lots of last-minute accessories requests, so I thought, why not put some hot looks together for our fashionably late brides?!  My #1 bridal fashion tip: stick to your style.  This is YOUR day, so don't make yourself up - or down - in any way that won't make you feel like yourself. 

On-trend for fall: big, bold statement jewelry, metal accents (especially silver and pewter), chic punk rock and all out glam.  See how I styled two gowns - one simple, elgant, another a little over-the-top - for maximum down-aisle impact.
