One of my newest obsessions is bold statement pieces for weddings! Whether it's a gorgeous diamond and pearl necklace or gems in the birdcage veil, I find it all darling! It gives the bride another way to really express her personality and that of her bridesmaids in ways other than the dress color and style.

In the past, brides have opted for the playful heels to give a peek of color as they walk down the aisle, which if you've followed Heather you know she's crazy about colored Manolos on the wedding day.  For me, a girl that loves sparkles, pearls, diamonds, or feather shouldn't leave that out just because it's her wedding day.  She should flaunt it.   Go grab the bubble necklace from J.Crew or head over to Caché for peacock headbands for yourself and the bridesmaids!

It's no longer your grandmother's wedding! Statement pieces allow brides to show off their sassy and sweet side while keeping the actual wedding ceremony traditional! Nothing enhances a bride glow like a little sparkle. .

Wedding's should capture the personalities of both the bride and groom, making their once in a life time day really showcase who they are. . . and that is exactly what Rachel and Joey did!  Racheal Lee Willett and Joseph Patrick Wallace were married this past summer on June 28th


On how they met. . .

Rachael and her friend decided one day that they wanted a piercing and went into Karmic Tattoo, where unbeknown to Rachael, Joey works. As her friend started talking to one of the other artist, it seemed only natural that Joey and Rachael would hang out with them as well. They started dating and two years later were married! 

On what they wanted. . .

The June 28th wedding was held at the Villa Serena in Conyers, Ga. Her colors were purple, yellow, and cream.  Not being a fan of cookie cutter weddings, Joey's groomsmen wore hats and slip on Vans shoes. Rachael was hoping for a more relaxed and fun wedding, and went with a Vintage/ Retro theme to do just that! 

On her favorite moment. . . 

During their vows, Rachael decided to rub Joey's hand but had no idea that he had recently washed his hands before the ceremony and had a piece of tissue still stuck to him. She attempted to laugh through the rest of her vows as the giant piece of tissue paper began rolling up! As you can imagine, that was Rachael's favorite part of her big day!!
