Green Wedding Shoes Wedding Blog | Wedding Trends for Stylish + Creative Brides

This morning, I wanted to introduce you lovelies to the lovely work of Laura Jayne. Laura Jayne designs and creates couture veils, hair adornments, jewelry and accessories such as sashes + wraps. Their delicate designs are based on a classic aesthetic, with a hint of the unexpected thrown in.

Products are hand-made and finished at their studio in Toronto, so many may be customized to suit the bride’s taste. Their mission is to create accessories that enable the bride to style her ensemble to let her own personality shine through – turning “that gown” into “my gown”. Here are some of my favorites from their most recent collection…

Signature details on their veils include their ultra-sheer, ultra soft European Mirage tulle featured in many designs, plus luxurious French and Japanese laces, and rich hand-embroidery. I love that they infuse design into each element of the veil – the shape, drape and finishing details, so that even the simplest veil has style to compliment a modern, chic gown.

Laura Jayne designs are available at many bridal and accessory salons across the U.S. and Canada including online stores, for a list of all their locations visit Laura Jayne.

Also, as a special offer for Green Wedding Shoes readers, they will be featuring a special Green Wedding Shoes post on their Facebook page. If you go to the page and share your style with Laura Jayne, by leaving a comment under the post completing the statement “My accessory style is…” , you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 Laura Jayne accessories gift certificate. So head on over and leave a comment for a chance to win!

Today I wanted to share some of the gorgeous hair fascinators and adornments from our lovely sponsor, Tessa Kim. Tessa’s new collection is super romantic and a bit bohemian – super perfect in my opinion!

And to celebrate her new 2012 collection, Tessa is giving one lucky GWS reader a lovely headpiece of their choice – up to $200 value! And if you don’t happen to win this time, everyone else will get 15% off their entire order when you become a fan of Tessa Kim on Facebook. :) So, leave a comment with which hairpiece is your favorite and I’ll pick a winner at random on Friday (Jan 13) at 10 am PST. Good luck!!

***The contest has ended and the lucky winner is Erin S! Erin said, “I just bought my wedding dress this weekend and I think the Blush flower fascinator – Beulah would look perfect with it!!” Congrats Erin and we’ll be in touch soon! Thanks to all who entered and remember the Facebook discount above is still available**

I’m excited to announce that there is a new online wedding magazine for all my New Zealand readers – actually I think brides worldwide will love it, but the team is based in New Zealand. :) It’s called {Mag} Rouge and the debut issue is all about road trips! It has such a gorgeous design and I’m excited to read the entire magazine later this week. There is also a fun interview with me (and a few other wedding bloggers) on page 100 about our dream road trips + tips on throwing a destination wedding. Today, I’m thrilled to share additional photos from their cover shoot photographed by some of my favorite ladies, SimplyBloom Photography. I’m also totally obsessed with those crowns the girls are wearing by Jackie Palmer. Wouldn’t they be so fun for your bridesmaids?!

Anyone ready for a road trip now?! :) Thanks so much to all these amazing vendors!
