what to do for this amazing neckline? this one was a challenge for me (the one in the middle). the beautiful bouquets? Tre Bella florist.

Also, miss ashlee is so very stylish, i wanted to make sure she’d like it. And I didn’t want to distract from the shape of the dress at all, so I knew it needed to be a shorter style, so the dress could stand out.

Final result?

tiny peridot beads with green swarovski pearls. it’s simple, to go with a not so simple dress design.

and that’s the end of the bridesmaids. have a favorite? leave a comment on that dress, we’ll see which one wins overall! (girls who were wearing them don’t count ๐Ÿ˜‰

Alta’s beautiful dress. Simple, but a little different than jess’s. I was the most nervous to create something for Alta, because she is the one who taught me to make jewelry ๐Ÿ™‚ I decided on something very current, and I’m loving the long necklace trend, which i thought would go well with the dress style.

and i think it does.

next up, maid of honor and sister, Marilyn. She was also an inspiration for different pieces for each bridesmaid, because she has veerrry sensitive ears and can’t wear earrings. So I knew she would need a necklace. And once she picked out her dress, I started thinking about what kind.

Marilyn loved her dress. It was her favorite of all the ones, all the designers, she tried on. She kept telling me “I want the pink dress!”, and I kept reminding her it would be silver, not pink. but she loved it anyway.

With a sweetheart neckline, I wanted something that would fill the space well, so I created a really long necklace, silver with peridot coin shaped stones interspersed, that she could wrap as many times as she wanted to create a layered look.

I love it. She loves it.

Angela chose this beautiful dress, one of my favorites, but not conducive to a necklace.

(she didn’t have a sash, but this was the best pic without the model)

No space for a necklace? No problem! Earrings for angela!
