Shoes + fabulous jewelry? Oh, fo sho! Photo by Mike Larson.

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.

Casual yet elegant weddings are all the rage, and wedding jewelry trends are no different. How perfect, then, is this gorgeous vintage inspired Miriam Haskell cuff with gold-plated floral filigree and handset Swarovski crystals and glass baroque pearls from J.Crew? I’m envisioning the bride wearing a simple Grecian-style dress for a casual (yet elegant) wedding at the beach. Heaven! The best part is that there’s a whole line of Miriam Haskell pieces available…perfect for bridesmiad jewelry to tie you all cohesively together. Find this stunning piece of jewelry and others, here.

I have been known to say that every bride needs a little Tiffany & Co. in her life. But, if you’ve seen the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, you can perhaps understand why I was so drawn to this classic jeweler for today’s featured Glitzpick, especially as we in the wedding industry are dealing with the craziness of life, called: “busy-season”. And, while this 24k gold bold statement earring set is perhaps a little pricey for some brides, the beauty of these Jean Schlumberg pink spinel and diamond ear clips were just too brilliant and breathtaking and timeless to dismiss. Wouldn’t these make an amazing wedding gift from…say… your husband-to-be? What about that once-in-a-lifetime thank you gift for the often over-looked, mother-of-the-bride? Available here.

I’m loving all the color in the Spring/Summer jewelry lines, and this potential bridal accessory from Ippolita is no exception! You can never go wrong with a big chunky ring, even on your wedding day, so why no go REALLY big with this genuine 18k gold Rock Candy Constellation ring in Turquoise with Diamonds. It’s the perfect gift for your maid-of-honor, or perhaps yourself (think show-stopping cocktail ring for the bride’s other hand).  And…it’s a ring that could fit into almost any wedding day style…think casual, or formal, rustic, or elegant, beach or mountain. Find out how to get yours, here, and visit StellinaStellina for this glitzpick inspired inspiration board.

To me this Alexis Bittar bangle is timeless, and would be perfect for the elegant & whimsical wedding by the beach. The gray lucite bangle mixes Swarovski peach colored crystals with hand-cut Austrian crystal fruit surround by 18k gold & rose gold plated vines. Stunning! And the best part? Once it’s graced your wrist on perhaps the most elegant day of your life, it can reappear day-in and day-out with almost every outfit; jeans & a white-tee, your favorite LBD, & a white-hued formal gowns all compliment this simple yet gorgeous piece of jewelry. Get yours here, and be sure to visit StellinaStellina later today for a peach/grey, beach themed inspiration board to match!

The minute I saw these gorgeous citrine briolete drop earring from Magnolia Collection, I was immediately transfixed on the idea of modern-Hollywood-glamour. Think 10-piece band in white coats, passed champagne in rose colored glasses, with hundreds of starlet guests all convened at the gorgeous Art Deco designed LA Union Station. The true genius, though, behind these beautiful baubles designed by sisters Tricia & Cherry, is the ability to match them with almost any wedding style. Fantastic! Get your own pair, here, and be sure to check out StellinaStellina later today for my Santa Barbara Chic glitzpick driven Inspiration Board.

I love all thing English, and a good cup of tea being very high up on the list (after of course, a proper pint). I was inspired by the photo  of the chair with the tea cup (styling by Portland Mitchell). I love the layers of brocade (so English) and the portrait above is so darn quaint. I picture this wedding with the ladies decked in all their finery, hats punctuated with feathers, delicate dresses, and lady like gloves. The wedding would take place in the morning and a wedding luncheon would follow with tea and yummy treats for all the guests. The color scheme would features layers of pink with dashes of blue and gold for contrast.

A girl (especially this girl) can always use a little Tiffany’s. Having set the standard for silver, and for gracing the estates of royalty for over a century, what’s not to love about Tiffany’s (and this amazing ring?!) 18kgold  in the shape of a giant heart…a definite statement piece, perfect for the more eccentric bride-to-be (oh yeah, and me please…Tiffany’s, if your reading this, I’m a size 5)!

Welcome to Glitzpick! I love jewelry and I thought everyone could use a little help accessorizing their wedding dress. Ama’li is the genius behind this gorgeous pair of moonstone & pearl drop earrings. Set with 18k gold chain, these would be an absolutely breathtaking addition to any wedding gown.

Compliment the earrings above with this exquisite, garden-fence-inspired, gold bracelet from Tiffany’s. Pure romance!

I picked these Kate Spade sparkly gold shoes a few months ago and then I found them featured in a real wedding photographed by Jasmine Star. I still love those bows!

Happy 2010 everyone! To kick things off, I though a suitably glamorous board would do the trick. For inspiration I used this lovely vignette above. Its so glamorous, chic and the feather caplet is so amazing, I just had to do an inspiration board based on it. I picture this wedding taking place at an elegant and historic venue. The color palette would have touches of mint, pink and metallic would pop against a creamy white.The bride would be uber fashion conscious with a couture gown and the groom would wear tails. Guests, would be served champagne cocktails and sport fabulous hats and gloves.
