Bridal jewelry pt II

I rarely wear necklaces, but I love big earrings. For our first wedding I was planning on having huge chandelier earrings and no necklace, but ended up wearing these, and I loved them. In fact, I loved them so much I was planning on recycling them for our second wedding. Well, I ended up wearing something totally different.

Our theme for our second wedding was red (Christmas) and silver (winter wonderland). Since I was already wearing a silver wedding dress, I wanted something red too. I dyed my blonde hair strawberry blonde and decided that the bridal jewelry should be red too. Here's what I wore:

A red heart/flower Austrian crystal necklace and earring set with red crystal flower hair pins. In order to prevent it from looking too red, I also added some clear crystal hair pins that I wore for the first wedding. I got the necklace set from Amazon.com and the hair pins from Ebay. I was a little worried I'd look too much like a Christmas tree :-) but in the end I think I looked just fine :)

And here are my gorgeous rings :)

Love them!

Hope everyone is having an amazing week!

Wedding blogging? - Bridal jewelry

Our second wedding is less than three months away and I'm getting slightly nervous again :D I promised myself that after being a complete nervous wreck around the first wedding, I'd be a chiller bride this time. My sister-in-law is a professional event planner and she has all the right contacts, so really there's no reason for me to panic, and yet I'm feeling quite panic-y. I guess I can't help it, I'm the worrying kind.

I'm afraid this blog will turn into part-time wedding blog from now on, since I can hardly think about anything else right now :-) I'll try and write about everything else as well, but please excuse me if there is too much wedding stuff in this blog. And just to be clear, my life is not just about wedding planning; I'm still working on my thesis and am taking classes at the university, plus being a full-time stay-at-home mom/homemaker :D

I thought I'd start with something gorgeous: my jewelry. I used the same jewelry at my first wedding and will recycle them to next one too :) My sister-in-law has a boutique in my husband's home town, so she got me these from Mariell. I absolutely loved them! The rhinestone pins are my own purchase from eBay:

Pearl and crystal necklace and matching earrings. The flexible crystal tiara band didn't really like the hairdresser spraying on it, so it's not as silver-y anymore :( but it'll still work cause it is just amazing ;). It's really lightweight and you can't even feel it in your hair, perfect!

Last, but certainly not least, my gorgeous engagement ring:

My amazing husband got me exactly the kind of ring I wanted: beautiful white gold filigree diamond ring! I wanted something petite to fit my tiny hands :) and this was just the right size, not too wide. I absolutely love the filigree details!


Hope everyone is having an amazing week!
