Bridal Jewlery -Off topic

I am sucker for all things vintage. I just picked up this awesome vintage style necklace from Etsy.com seller LuxeDeluxe. I ordered one of her lovely pieces and I have to say I haven't seen anything quite like it. I love it!
She also has a amazing bridal and old school glamor line: hint hint hint

the one I bought:

Bridal Finds: Twigs and Honey Love

I am very honored to have collaborated to do some product photography with Myra of Twigs and Honey (her blog is http://twigsandhoney.blogspot.com/ ) who has an amazing store filled with handmade vintage style hairpieces, necklaces, boutonnieres. I first found out about her lovely designs from Brooklyn Bride Blog.
I think these designs are wonderful and compliment any wedding to give a "vintage look, " or the handmade route . I just love how they are so beautiful and refreshing to look at.
I would love for one of my 2008 or 2009 brides to go for this look!!
Here are some pieces from her store:




I am so happy for her that she was featured in Etsy Storque today.
I recently had the honor of taking two of her pieces to Vegas and doing a shoot with some of my wedding photographer friends, yes we did stop traffic with these hairpieces:
Photos are a collaboration of Myself, Monica Z Photography and Chriselda Photography.
Monica and I played model on and off, but we had such a great time and Chriselda had a blast photographing us when we weren't embarassing her in Vegas, anyway look at these hothairpieces, these are some of the photos from the shoot:

Etsy.com

Since the wedding season won't start up again until the end of March I have had some free time on my hands and found this great site called Etsy.com

This site is a artists/craft maker / small business owners dream.. I found some of the coolest things on this site. I finally made my first purchase yesterday, I bought some Valentine's day

cookies and Cranberry scones for my family from Bubbleberrybaking on Etsy.com

They just looked amazing! In addition to just homebaked goods. They have cute crafts, hats, artwork and handbags you think of it they got it. I found a blog that focuses on the Etsy new wave of craftmaking for bridal planning here :

One word of advice this site is addicting
