    Photo: Grazier Photography This week's wedding hairstyle inspiration comes from a real bride (it was one of our favorite wedding hairstyle ideas of 2010)—Emily accented her classically romantic updo with a gold ribbon headband and vintage brooch for her Boston wedding. (See the front angle here.) Some readers have recently been asking where Emily found her hair accessories, so I'd thought I'd share her resources: She found the vintage gold brooch at 20th Century Ltd., a vintage store in Boston. To find a similar options, try searching "gold leaf vintage brooches" on Etsy ...

    First we raided our local vintage/antique/flea market for [affordable] delicate gold broaches and pins. Then we pinned up little twists (something like A Cup of Joe’s Three twisted buns tutorial from a while ago). Then we just arranged and nestled in the pins and broaches, securing them with bobby pins. ...

    More and more brides are choosing not to wear stark white on their wedding day but rather ivory or champagne.  Gold looks amazing with those tones and there are so many gorgeous gold accessories! Clockwise from top left: Porreda, Brides, Jewelry Stylist, Clara’s Handbag Boutique, Brides, Romeo and Jewels, Erin Cole That necklace is simply stunning.  I want it!  It’s so airy, it just floats.  And the bottom center pair of earrings are so modern but luxe.  I am so excited that brides are branching out from the traditional white.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not favoring magenta or bl...

    By Bethany   This week M&J Bridal Salon is featuring our chic gold accessories.  Gold is making a huge comeback and we are excited for brides to start embracing this new look!  The feeling of gold accessories is warm and vibrant and works with many skin tones.  Of course the accessories have to flow with your gown.  If you have lace, warm colored fabric, gold beading or embroidery, gold accessories will work for you!  Also, if your gown is simple gold can make a bold, yet classy statement. I know gold sounds scary to many of us, but it is not the same as the super shinny gold of the ...

Photographed by Riccardo Tinelli If you’re like us, you’ve been loving this image for a long time and may already have it pinned on your Pinterest. Well, we made a metallic flower strap like this one a while ago and it was super easy. (Ours was in silver.) We just sprayed some fake flowers (cheap ones can be fine, just watch for frayed edges on the petals) with a can of metallic spray paint and stitched them to a ribbon. (Though I do love the way the stems show on this one–our stems didn’t look that pretty unfortunately...

    Love this sophisticated take on wedding design from Elizabeth Lewis of The Nouveau Romantics and Antiquaria (love them both!!), plus a whole team of excellent creatives. It’s such a yummy take on, perhaps, a decadent fall palette? We know there are some fall and winter brides out there who are srsly rethinking their wedding plans right now! MMM. Blackberry champagne cocktails and an inventive cheese platter. Looks just perfect. And the guinea fowl feathers with simply gorgeous gold calligraphy? Such a nice contrast to the vintage bottles and stone wall of the venue. Isn’t it just l...
