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!

A few diamonds and jewels for your Wednesday… I styled these as part of the cocktail shoot just for fun. I used an old lipstick holder that I got at a consignment store and a gorgeous beaded linen that will be avaliable from La Tavola next year… Jewels courtesy of 33 Jewels.

Sculptural bows in nude by Valentino, truly timeless and elegant!

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:

Vera Wang’s collection for Fall 2012 was pure couture goodness. The color palette of black and nude definitely gave the collection an avant guarde feel, not to mention the elaborate bodice constructions of the nude gowns.

I particularly love the structured bodice of the dress on the right, that dress will make anyone’s waist look small. So what do you think? Would you wear a nude or black dress on your wedding day?

I love the idea of a bride in boots… I had a bride this year wear them at her ranch wedding paired with a Vera Wang dress. She looked adorable and was warm and comfy the whole night. Would you rock cowboy boots on your wedding day?

I love emeralds and this ring features a huge center stone in the most delicate aqua color.

With baguette diamonds surrounding the emerald, its definitely a show stopper. Would you rock it???

Its that time of year… Monique Lhuillier is holding a sample sale on December 4th from 10am to 4pm in LA. Come on down for some incredible deals. Happy shopping!

A nude shoe with fabric flower petals? They’re so very  fun and modern!

To me there’s nothing better than a serious piece of estate jewelry, especially when its a stunner like this art deco ring. I’m seriously obsessed with this ring and its for sale at 33 Jewels if anyone’s on the market for a seriously showstopping engagement ring.

I made this bouquet to go with the ring… its a soft cascadeing bouquet made up of hellebores and queen anne’s lace.

Would you rock an estate piece of jewely for your engagement or wedding ring?

I love these unexpected black shoes for a bride. The best part is you can totally wear them after the wedding.

I loved the simplicity of Amsale’s lastest wedding dress collection. Fuller skirts where shown, I particularly love the contrast in texture between the tulle and the satin.

 I love the simplicity of this classic ball gown with a sweetheart neckline. The asymmetrical, slightly Grecian feel of the dress on the right, would be so pretty at a garden wedding… Which one is your favorite?

All dresses, Amsale, Fall 2012.

Two of my favorite things… classic blue and white pottery and aqua shoes with bling!

Loving these modern suede wedding shoes that you could totally rock after your wedding day too.

The first show I attend was Romona Keveza and it was a show stopper. Inspired by Brigette Bardot, the theme was definitely glamorous, sexy and so very french. I love these bold red evening dresses!

The short white a-line dress is so flirty and fun, it would make quite the party dress. And I love the traditional meets modern take of the two bottom gowns, the  chiffon overlay is so pretty and etheral.

And then there was a string of black dresses and one slinky champagne dress. I love the neckline and the slit in the of the dress in upper right, which one is your fav?
