Breathtaking Bands

In ancient Egypt, they used twisted, braided reeds; later, the Romans adopted the tradition, escalating to iron rings. Today, whether they’re covered in sparkling diamonds or a glimmering gold band,  your wedding day jewelry is one of the most enduring and sentimental aspects of your wedding. A symbol of love and devotion, commitment and timeless love. Have you picked your wedding bands yet?

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day from Maggie Sottero.

The mother of a bride is a special role… She’s your confidant, your second opinion, your planning partner. She cheers for you, encourages you, and inspires you. This weekend, we want to honor her.  Today, we’re featuring a mom especially close to our heart…. Meet Kathy, our lovely Trunk Show Coordinator, and her beautiful daughter Kendall.*  Here are some of Kendall’s sweet sentiments about her mom…

“Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! It was exactly what a wedding should be.. full of fun, family and friends. But there was one person, other than my groom, who was there for me every step of the way…. my mom. The moments we shared are some that I will treasure forever. She was the one who woke me up for my 5:00 AM hair appointment singing, ‘It’s your wedding day!’ She painted my nails and made sure that not one hair was out a place. She helped me into my dress, arranged my veil, gave me loving last minute advice, and cried tears of joys during the ceremony. She was so supportive and helpful as she looked after my new husband and I all throughout the reception… She even yanked us out of the receiving line so we could actually eat some of the food we had so painstakingly picked out. (You’re a lifesaver, Mom!) When the night was finally over and it was time to leave, I hugged her like I’ve never hugged her before. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. Because of her example and the lessons she taught, I am now a wife. Someday, I want to be a wonderful mother, just like her. Remember, Mom, no matter what life hands us and no matter what other roles we’re asked to play, I will always be your daughter. I love you!”

Cheers to all of the inspirational women in our lives!

Happy Mother's Day from Maggie Sottero.

 *Please note that since Kendall’s wedding, this style has been discontinued. We recommend Alandra, Juliette or Addison as alternative styles.

Maggie Bride: Lauren Turner

When Maggie Bride, Lauren, explained the details she most wanted in a wedding dress… lace, buttons along the back, delicate beading… the bridal consultant pulled Sarchi, and Lauren knew. “As I put the dress on and looked into the mirror, I remember just staring. I was almost speechless.” When Lauren walked out to show her bridal party the dress, she was met with a similar reaction, and knew she had found her dress. We love the fresh look of Lauren’s Long Beach, CA wedding… See more pictures, and her darling wedding video, below!

Dress: Sarchi

Favorite part of the dress: “All of the little details! I loved the lace, it was breathtaking and the details along the bottom were just perfect. One must have for my gown was buttons along the back; it is a timeless and classic detail that I just adore. The finishing touch was the small detailed beading along, nothing overbearing for my shorter height, but just the right amount to pull the dress in the right place.”

Favorite wedding day moment: “Finally seeing my husband at our first look. All of the anticipation was gone and I couldn’t help but smile ear to ear. After seeing him, all that was left was to celebrate our wonderful day with our friends and family!”

Advice for future brides: “Enjoy every moment of the entire process! It’s so easy to get caught up in everything and those moments of finding your gown, your fun and relaxing bridal shower, food tasting with your fiancé, are all gone in a second; enjoy every single one of them.”
