Cultivated Class ● The Queen of Gems and The Gem of Queens

Pearls are the only gemstones created by a living organism and considered unique as no two are exactly alike.  Delicate, highly prized, feminine and rich are the words in which we will use to describe our favorite gem.

Fresh water pearls are a popular choice and an amazing addition to any fashionistas'  jewelry collection. 

Effortless Style:
Diamonds compliment pearls nicely and when styling clients for their special day, we are always reminded of how we thought of both gems when conceptualizing Savvy Soirées personal reflection statement which is “sophisticated, classic, tasteful, elegant, timeless." 

Bridal Bracelets & Bangles ● Chunky, Stacked, Sparkly or Vintage?

Our client demand for bridal bangles/bracelets this 2010 wedding season has increased tremendously. The most sought after bangles are complimented by soft metallics, while our bracelets are geared towards heirloom trinkets consisting of Marcasite or Swarovski Crystals. Whether fancy or costume, nothing can add "pop" to your bridal attire like statement jewelry.  Remember, wedding jewelry can be anything you want it to be and we encourage our clients to mix and match their own jewelry in an effort to remain true to their personal style.
 

Question :: Would you consider showing off chunky bangles or your favorite sparkly stacked bracelets to compliment your bridal attire?

If bangles/bracelets are your thing, allow them to take the lead and let your other accessories play the supporting role.  Less is always more and you do not always need diamonds to dazzle them Darlin'.

Amanda Wakeley 2010 Bridal Collection • Contemporary, Unique and Effortlessly Breathtaking

I stumbled upon Amanda Wakeley's bridal collection while salivating over a pair of stunning Camilla Zebra sandals that I received as a "thank you"gift from a former styling client.  After spending countless hours on her website - pondering the possibilities, we immediately ordered her Spring/Summer 2010 Lookbook and fell in love with her bridal gowns.   The luxurious fabrics, supreme workmanship and intricate detailing will appeal to any of our Savvy Brydes.  

At the end of the day, it's all about leaving a lasting impression and this collection truly makes a bold and confident statement.  " Fresh, Fabulous, Feminine." Wouldn't you agree?
