The Brooch
Brooches are one of those classic pieces of jewelry that will never go out of style.
They can be worn in your hair, on your dress, the bouquet, or even the cake. Place a brooch anywhere that can use a little bit of sparkle!
A brooch is the ideal “something borrowed” when it’s a vintage piece, either purchased or passed down from Mom or your Grandmother-to-be. But since there’s a need for that “something new” too, maybe some shopping is in order?

Flair
Every girl needs a little flair on her wedding day – even while wearing the most marvelous gown ever.
There’s no need to stay within the lines…if there ever was a moment to get dramatic, it’s your wedding day. Which is why we’re such fascinator fanciers! Whether feathered, bedazzled, beribboned or bowed, these hair ornaments can suit almost anyone’s style. Plus, since fascinators are pieces of pure, concentrated fabulousness, you can go large, small, or anything in between.
Many are made with repurposed or vintage jewelry, can be worn after the day you say “I do,” and make great heirlooms, which in our book makes them fascinating-ly green!

Groomed
Weddings are about grooms, too!
Just like you, he wants to look (and feel) his best on your wedding day. Though he might never admit it, your gent wants to be the most debonair groom around. So, tell him to follow the same golden shopping rule for brides:
Be yourself. Just a little (or a lot) fancier.
That means if he’s quirky, choose a suit or accessories (like a cool hat) to show off his style. Or, if he’s a classic kind of guy, select something that suits his gentlemanly palate. Then there are the things that no groom should be without: a chic watch, well-fitted clothes, and a big smile.
The best thing about your guy wearing what he loves? It’s the likelihood he’ll wear it all again! Which means that suit, shirt or snappy bow tie will get trotted out again on another special occasion, making your sweetie’s look dashingly green!
