Brides we LOVE... Jamie wearing Alvina Valenta and Haute Bride
Jamie was a wonderful bride of one of our favorite salons, The Bride to Be in FT Wayne, IN! We just love Sarah and Kate (the owners!) Jamie was so kind enough to email us and share these incredible photos and share her beautiful wedding with us!
Jamie was married on July 2, 2010 in Bay Harbor/Petoskey MI. She wore Alvina Valenta from The Bride to Be and all of her accessories were designed by Haute Bride. Jenn, Chris and Bob Ocken of Ocken Photography are responsible for these amazing photos! Jamie can take most of the credit for all of the fabulous details of her wedding and she did have a help from Debbie Norris and Linda C. Richter from Events that Party. Her gorgeous bouquet was designed by Sydney Wormell Upsy-Daisy Floral. My favorite part of these photos: the Chanel bottle of perfume! You can tell that Jamie has great taste! * * * * *
In Jamie's words...
"Hi Lindsie! Attached you will find a few pictures of the bracelet, earrings and head piece that I wore. All the pieces photographed so beautifully and I can't wait to wear all of the pieces again. It was funny because I feel in love with the bracelet before I had even picked out my gown. The bracelet was the very first thing I purchased. It was love at first and there was nothing that could compare to the bracelet. Thank you again for creating such magical and timeless pieces. I have never felt so beautiful and everyone just loved all the pieces."
Real Bride Marisa and Adam...!
Marisa and Adam were married in Cabo, August 2010! Marisa wore Valena Valentina's Lindsie dress and accessorized her gown with a beige sash, turquoise brooch and Jennifer Leigh veil and our B628 pearl and brooch bracelet! Love all of the color combos in this beautiful and bright wedding! (All from our San Francisco Flagship Salon!) We Love you Marisa! XO

Haute Bride and the Return of Tiaras... featured in the LA Times
Tiaras top 2011 bridal trends
After a couple of recession-inspired years that saw brides-to-be paring back, not only on their "I Do" arrangements but with gowns that were more streamlined than princess-like, glamour is back in bridal.
And with it, the tiara.
"Tiaras are a good way to finish your overall wedding-day look, and to do something different and express your personal style," said Ellen Heisler, senior associate fashion editor for Brides magazine in New York, which has flagged tiaras as a trend.
"They don't have the stigma they used to have of being a little too proper or serious," she added.
Just as tiaras are making a comeback in fashion, with Natalie Portman and other stars wearing them on the red carpet, they are beginning to show up in bridal, which is increasingly influenced by celebrity attire. The upcoming nuptials of Kate Middleton and Prince William of Wales is likely to add to the trend.
In bridal, Heisler said, tiaras falls in two camps. There's "the simple, more delicate smaller piece that is tucked into the hair and looks really elegant and beautiful and effortless," said Heisler, referencing the San Francisco line Haute Bride.
