The Best Pearls for Weddings. Pearl Wedding Jewelry Sale

Ok, so this fall and this year has been all about the pearls and pearl jewelry.  This isn’t even just in the wedding fashions, this is all over.  In Paris you are seeing tons of vintage clothing and hair and with the vintage you are seeing tons of pearls and different stones flying back into style in a seriously fast pace.  For weddings, pearls have always been traditional for necklaces and gowns for embriodery, but now people are using pearl earrings that dangle instead of studs and some brides are even throwing on color pearl bracelets into their wedding outfits.  I did actually see a pearl clutch at a wedding shop that was seriously cute as well.

Anyways, with the return of pearls to weddings and fashion, both colored pearls and traditional white, I wanted to share with you a brand new store I found and fell in love with, like completely fell in love with to the point where I called them and have been haveing conversations with their Marketing Department…I want a couple jewelry samples too hehehehe hey worth a try anyways…. and when I saw all of their pearl jewelry and wedding jewelry I fell in love with all of their pearl Jewelry and wedding jewelry and they easily make my top ten list for not only affordable and some expensive pearl wedding jewelry, but I also am happy to say that if you shy away from Tiffany or Harry Winston Diamonds,,,,especially since they cost more than your dress….these are by far some of the Best Pearls for Wedding and Best Wedding Pearl Necklaces, Bracelets and Earrings, but before we show you the best pearls for weddings, we have to go over a couple of ground rules for picking out your wedding pearl jewelry.

1.  Make sure that your pearl jewelry matches the embroidery on your gown.  If you have white pearls, buy white pearl jewelry, if you have colored, choose an offwhite, unless you can match the white jewelry to the dress without it standing out too much because you want to highlight your face, not your jewelry…besides the ring.

2.  If your pearl embroidery or other pearl accessories are multiple sizes, or if the crystals and beads are multiple sizes on each strand, make sure that you buy pearl necklaces and jewelry that also uses multuple sizes.

3.  Now, here is a rule that you can break, even if your dress has multiple shapes, you can still stay traditional and do circle pearls, even if you don’t match it to your dress, just make sure you match the colors….and if you need it custom made, make sure you tell them that you found them at GayWeddingGear.com.  Ask for Alvin as well if you purchase from Wish Giving which is the store I am loving and you can find them by clicking any of the links or images below.

Soo buying the perfect pearl jewelry for your wedding is actually easy.  Just follow those three pointers above and you will easily have the perfect pearl wedding jewelry.

Cookie Surprises Wedding Baskets and Cookie Gifts. The Perfect Wedding Invitation and Gift!

The other week I had a friend get sick and ended up sending him some flowers and gave a call.  It sort of reminded me when I was younger and I would always catch the flu or break an arm or end up getting hurt somehow doing something stupid or get the flu because I used to love to play when it rained outside in the rain.  Not to mention I always loved the snow, and everytime I would end up with the flu or in the hospital I would always get at least one Cookie Bouquet which was always my favorite gift.
http://www.CookieSurprises.com
People would always send a huge tin of popcorn or stuffed animals or one time I got a roll of steel pennies and another time a really cool balloon gram gift, but my favorite gift which someone always ended up buying was definitely the cookie bouquet.

Not only did the cookies always make me smile and the icing taste amazing, but they also were like artwork and I loved getting to show them off to people.  The best part, besides eating the cookie bouquet was the cool wrapping and all of the colorful paper that came with it too because we would fold it up and use it to make decorations and even use it to regift the things I didn’t really like to my sister so she wouldn’t feel left out.  Anyways, the point of this rambling is that when my friend was sick and I sent flowers to him, I should have actually thought of something more creative and original like a cookie bouquet from Cookie Surprises.

One of my nieghbors up the street is a single mom and raising two kids and was looking for a way to start a new business and bring in some extra money.  I ended up running into her accidently and ended up having a really good conversation with her.  She told me about what she was doing and about how she decided to start a business online that she could not only do from home, but also get her kids involved in to not only teach them responsibility, but also about business and let them really earn their allowance by helping their mom get her new business off the ground.

She told me about her mom always buying her ginger bread cookies when she was younger and how much she loved them and when she thought about something fun she could do that would also help her earn some extra money and help to teach her kids about business, she combined one of her favorite childhood memories with her passion and something fun and created Cookie Surpises which delivers cookie bouquets and cookie boxes that are not only decorated and themed, but wrapped gorgeously and look fabulous.  She also told me about how much fun she has getting to watch people open then like when she randomly sent one to her mom without her mom knowing about her new company and when her mom opened the cookie bouquet, she not only light up, but she put the colored paper in her hair and immediately started to show off the cool and perfectly decorated cookies to everyone in the room.  That story reminded me of my favorite cookie bouquet basket from when I was a little kid which was a bunch of dinosaur cookies in multiple colors and different types of dinosaurs.  My favorite dinosaur cookie was always the blue or green brontesoraus (spelled wrong) or the red and orange tyranasorous or the stegasorous,,,,wow my spelling is bad lol….and then my second favorite cookie gift was the hot air balloon cookie basket I got from my uncle who loved hot air ballooning.

Cookie Gifts are not only something people remember for a lifetime, but they are fun and almost liek artwork that people love to show off…not to mention delicious to eat and even more fun to play with…ohhh and eat and that is why I wanted to recommend buying a cookie bouquet for your next gift for someone.  They are perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, the holidays, barmitzvahs and everything else where you need to buy a gift and what makes the cookie gifts from Cookie Surprises unique is that you can custom create your own cookie gift instead of having to rely on them creating the basket or box for you.

This also means that if you would want to order them for a gay wedding or for a special occasion that normally wouldn’t happen or be available, you could order to brides dresses or two tuxedos and also wedding bells and flowers or other decorative cookies and if you need something for someone who has a million interests, you can easily mix and match the cookies to make the perfect cookie gift for anyone.

Flower girl flower baskets – Perfect Baskets for All Weddings

Filed under: bridal party,flower girl — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 2:12 am

So I realized, I haven’t posted anything or at least not that much for the flower girls.  So, in honor of the flower girl, I’d like my first post to be recommending some fabulous flower girl baskets to hold the flowers and petals. 

One thing I love about flower baskets is that there are soo many varities and soo many different designs.  Also, the flower girls almost always end up loving them and never wanting to let them go so you don’t have to worry about them forgetting it, dropping it or even just tossing it away somewhere.  My sister just got married a couple months ago and at her wedding, my niece was soo cute.  She loved her flower basket soo much that after she would throw the petals, she would then go pick them back up and put them right back into the flower petal basket again.  She also never set her flower basket down one time during the ceremony.  It just goes to show that perfect accessories are never out of style no matter what your age is. 

Anyways, I think some of the most important things to remember when selecting your flower girl basket are to:

1.  Match it to the ring bearer’s pillow.

2.  Make sure it matches your wedding theme.

3.  It shoudl compliment your dress.

4.  Be light enough for anyone of any age to be able to carry, yet have enough space to hold enough petals.

5.  Make sure the basket isn’t too big for the flower girl to carry. 

The following flower girl baskets are some of my favorites and if you look for my ring bearer pillows post or read through the blog for ocean and beach weddings or other themed weddings, you’ll see that many of these baskets will actually fit in perfectly to those themes or match the ring bearers pillows exactly to make your wedding planning even easier. 

If you like these baskets and enjoy them, you can click any of the links and be taken to where you can buy then and please also feel free to leave a comment if you also have any ideas or things to add.  =0).

Ok, I seriously love this one for either a winter or summer wedding. It sooo looks like something that I would think Rachel Zoe would choose too. I mean seriously, it is gorgeous. The flower basket is made of crushed ivory chiffon and a golden beaded band (hell it even looks like a gorgeous vintage dress) give this piece a vintage feel. When paired with pastels (I disagree with this but the manufacturer and store feel that it is perfect for pastels…YUCK) the look is light and springlike while deep reds, blues and browns bring out a beautiful richness. I personally like it matched with silvers and golds for winters and summers. The basket measures 7″ tall including the handle.

Here’s the golden touch you need to complete your flower girl’s look, and it will look fantastic against her dress no matter what the color. The flared style of the basket is pretty and feminine and helps to show off the beautiful petals and colors in the basket. This basket really is a great way to display color contrasts, however since it does not look very deep, you may have issues with an outside wedding and wind. Made from champagne silk brocade with satin ribbon and a rhinestone brooch detail, the overall look is slightly shimmery. Each basket measures 9.5″ tall.

Can you say beaded pearl cluctch for flower girls. This is like the perfect basket for the flower girl who wants to have pearls like the bride, but cannot be trusted with a real pearl bag. This dainty flower girl basket is perfectly sized for little girls hands and its clean and fun design means it looks great paired with either simple or elaborate flower girl dresses, as well as a compliment to a heavily pearled brides gown or jewelry. Shown in white, this basket is also available in ivory so you choose the shade that best coordinates with the rest of your accessories. Measures 8.5″ tall including handle.

Talk about a statement, can you get any more stand out than a lack flower girl basket? This flower girl basket in distinctive black satin features a matte crepe satin bottom, a shiny satin handle with black satin ribbon bows and sparkling silver filigree buttons at each side. If you are using white petals, even purples, this basket is an amazing way to show off the colors and really bring out the beauty of the flower petals in the basket. Also, the filigree buttons have tiny rhinestone crystal centers. Each basket is handmade so it varies slightly in size, approximately 6″ in diameter and 7 3/4″ tall.

This is just gorgeous and is the perfect basket for the flower girl who wants to be a diva or just fabulous. It has everything a flower girl diva would want. Brooches, ribbons, bows and more…. This stunning flower girl basket with two perfectly tied bows each finished with a silver and crystal brooch. And, as with any couture fashion, you have a choice of colors. First, choose a white or ivory silk basket with or without a ruffle, then your choice of 18 colors for the bows. The brooches are removable to use another time.

You’ll recognize this color scheme and look from my ring bearer’s post. It is the compliment and sidekick for the perfectly chic pillow. This basket is pink and brown and is pretty much perfect for the stylish yet straight lined bridal party. This flower girl basket is crafted from a wide swath of dark brown crepe satin that is artfully pleated atop pretty light pink matte satin. The attached pearlized floral medallions on each side have cut outs that show the brown behind and feature pearl and sparkling rhinestone crystal accents. Handmade, so will vary slightly in size, approximately 5 3/4″ in diameter x 7 1/2″ tall. Petals shown are not included.

I couldn’t finish this post without mentioning something to match the beach weddings posts I made either. Although I don’t recommend littering a beach, this basket is perfect for the flower girl at your beach wedding. The shape of this flower girl basket is reminiscent of a little sand pail. Yet all grown up. Finished with a touch of embroidery and a silver starfish the basket measures 5″ in diameter and 4″ tall, not including handle.
