There are so many gorgeous images that Kirsten of Beaux Arts Photographie shot for the Tea Time Editorial that I had to share them. The lovely Hannah of Monique Lhuillier was kind enough to let me borrow two amazing dresses, truly a Rachel Zoe ” I die” kind of moment.

This stunner is “Giada” from the Spring 2011. The beading details on this dress is insane in person.

The second dress was “Winter” from fall 2010. I was very happy to get this dress, it was part of the first Monique Lhuillier bridal show I’d ever attended in 2009. Here it is styled with a simple chain necklace and punched metal earrings, all from 33 Jewels.

We styled it a couple of different ways, here it is with a black hat and layered bohemian jewelry.

I love these Egyptian necklaces…

And of course, my dog, Mira, had to get in the picture.

And here she is again running with model, Eva St. Denis, around Rancho Dos Pueblos’ huge magnolia tree… Big thank you to Monique Lhuillier for letting us borrow these stunning wedding dresses!

The tea time shoot I designed & produced with Tricia Fountaine is up on Ruffled! Go check it out here.

Set in one of the old green house at Dos Pueblos, my inspiration was 1910 England.

We brought the story to life with a wardrobe mix of vintage dresses and some insane Monique Lhuillier wedding gowns.

It was so much fun to design… Enjoy!

Special thanks to the incredible vendor team:

This is exactly why I own so many shoes.

Adorable Anthropologie shoes… So regret I didn’t buy these when I had the chance! Photo by Bret Cole.

Fabulous, sculptural shoes for this Tuesday! Shoes are by Kirwood for Rodarte, Fall 2011. Photo from The Coveteur via This is Glamorous.

Today I’m so excited to share Gemvara Jewelry! I love engagement rings that use colored stones versus a regular diamond. Emeralds happen to be one of my favorite stones, how simple and classic are these rings?

Of course, there’s nothing as dramatic as a black engagement ring.

A simple set sapphire in a gold band or sapphire plus diamonds is another colorful and unique option.

Red is such a vibrant color and I think ruby is such and unexpected and fun stone for an engagement ring. I’m particularly loving the one of the left, it has almost a vintage Edwardian feel to it. You can check out more that Gemvara offers right here. Happy jewelry shopping!

I am so in love with Anthropologie’s wedding line, BHLDN (beholden). The dresses are to die for; I’m obsessed with the one on the left. Tea length, scallop hemline, illusion neckline all with a distinct art deco flair? Amazing!

I also love the sweet eyelet dress. Perfect for a beach ceremony or a bohemian wedding. Also, the three dimensional quality of the gray pleated dress is so modern and chic.

Of course, then there are the shoes. The shoes are INSANE. I’m dying for the center shoe, it might need to come home with me like, today.

The clutches are equally as stunning. The art deco inspired one on the left is perfection (can you tell I love anything art deco?).

And from subtle, and sweet, to over the top drama, the head pieces are spot on. To check out more click right here. Happy Shopping!

I’m loving these 20′s inspired headpieces by Jannie Baltzer. I love the color of both pieces and the ostridge feather and the delicate pearl work on the left headpiece is so darn pretty.

Of course, if you’re looking for a little more drama, the black headpieces are amazing too (plus you can wear it after your wedding). Check out more at Jannie Baltzer shop here.

I’m so in love with these necklace made out tread by Spin Thread.

The colors, the geometric patterns, are just so divine.

Stacked cubes in my current favorite color combo? Yes, please! You can see more from the shop right here.

I love the bow and the 40′s feel of these shoes, so cute! Photo by Amelia Lyon.

PS Also a wedding I did in March was featured in the Santa Barbara News Press. You can check it out here.

Okay, not exactly made out of paper, but these designs are so fun!

I like how she layers the different colors of leather – it gives a great texture to the solid colors.

Go check out her store, Stitch, in Raleigh, NC! I spent over an hour looking at all her cool products!

Everyone at Santa Barbara Chic knows I love Tiffany & Co…so much so that I once did a research project on the infamous jewelry company for a college term paper. It’s not wonder, than, that Tiffany’s is the first place I look to find the best in wedding and bridal jewelry. These amazing 18k gold Paloma Picasso heart statement studs are the perfect bridal accessories for the woman looking to exude elegance without all the glitz and sparkle. And, as with any Tiffany’s statement piece, you’ll have numerous opportunities to wear these  earrings again and again for special occasions over the course of your marriage! It’s ironically a perfect match for my favorite heart ring (and first glitzpick post on Santa Barbarara Chic):

These would make a perfect duo (and Tiffany’s…I’m still a size 5 ring)! Get these amazing bridal jewelry pieces, here and here.
