I’m excited to have the ‘lovebirds’ join the website. Not only are we sporting a new look but we will soon be adding several new products. Stay tuned for a sneak preview here on The Jeweler’s Bench! 2010-04-18T00:11:00-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/my_brothers_wedding/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/my_brothers_wedding/#When:01:39:01Z Late summer always seems to be a popular time for getting married. My little brother’s actually getting hitched this July. There’s something about your youngest sibling getting married that makes you feel old but I’m excited anyway. His fiance has asked me to be her maid-of-honor so I’m looking forward to helping out as I can. The bridesmaid dresses she picked out look great! They’re actually from the ‘Loft’ so we can wear them again after the wedding, which is really nice. Here’s the dress: Floral Applique Dress I don’t think the picture does it justice! I can’t wait to wear it! The ‘Loft’ has some really nice dresses that would work for bridesmaids and they’re usually more affordable than ones from bridal stores so check ‘em out! 2010-04-10T01:39:01-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/sale/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/sale/#When:04:32:00Z It’s time for another sale and it’s a big one!

Some brides even purchase two different dresses. If this appeals to you, a less expensive choice is to have cap sleeves or straps that attach to your dress for the ceremony. For the reception the straps can be removed to reveal a strapless gown. Another option is to give your hair style a new look. For instance, you might have an elegant updo during the ceremony and for the reception let your hair drape partially down. You might even opt for a change of jewelry. The classic pearl necklace is a great accessory for the formal wedding ceremony. With the reception being more of a party atmosphere you could add a touch of color to your jewelry with Swarovski crystal. 2008-02-01T13:24:01-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/wedding_colors_for_2008/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/wedding_colors_for_2008/#When:21:29:00Z It’s a new year with new wedding colors taking the stage! Yellow and purple are the hot colors this year and brides are getting bold with them. The possibilities are endless with one of these two colors as the backdrop. Depending on how you combine them with other colors they can give a soft romantic ambiance or a vibrant party feel. Check out Better Homes and Gardens for examples of purple flowers combined with blue ones. Here are some other possible combinations: Citrus combination: lemon, orange & lime Spring combination: light yellow, orchid & white Sophisticated combination: plum & silver Countryside combination:  lavender & raspberry 2008-01-18T21:29:00-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/stunning_wedding_gown/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/stunning_wedding_gown/#When:13:24:00Z I came across this bridal gown designed by Jasmine the other day and just had to show it to you. It’s simple yet still very romantic. I love the way it drapes and has an old-world feel to it.  2007-10-04T13:24:00-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/clip_on_earrings_are_here/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/clip_on_earrings_are_here/#When:18:33:01Z You asked for it so we’ve added it! All items in the earrings collection are now available as clip-ons. Now you have the choice between clip-on earrings and earwires. If you know of a different earring type that you’d like just contact me and I will look into getting them for you.  2007-08-02T18:33:01-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/bridesmaid_style/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/bridesmaid_style/#When:22:23:01Z Just as the bride has her own individual style, so do the bridesmaids. Many brides are not only letting their bridesmaids choose which shoes they want to wear or how they’d like their hair, but even let them choose their own gown. Some may go sleeveless, wear straps or wear a halter style dress. Keeping the color and dress length the same helps to bring uniformity while still capturing the style of each girl. Another option is for each attendant to choose their own jewelry. The bride can choose a price range or a list of items they can choose from and let them decide which one they each would like. As long as they all wear the same color they should match nicely. This can be a lot of fun for the bridesmaids (who doesn’t love to shop, right?) who normally don’t have much say in what they will wear. 2007-07-21T22:23:01-05:00 http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/jewelersbench/flower_girl_jewelry/ http://blog.emmasbridaljewelry.com/index.php/ jewelersbench/flower_girl_jewelry/#When:00:58:00Z Flower girl jewelry has been a popular choice this year. It makes a great gift for that littlest member of the bridal party that she can treasure for years. You can find several styles geared specifically for young girls in the flower girl jewelry collection. In addition I can also adapt any piece of jewelry from the main collection to fit your flower girl. Here are some suggested sizes when choosing your flower girl jewelry: Bracelets 3-4 years: 5 1/2” 5-7 years: 6” 8-16 years: 6 1/2” Necklaces 3-4 years: 12” (plus 2” extension) 5-10 years: 14” (plus 2” extension) To get the best possible fit try to get measurements from the child’s mother if possible. 2007-07-09T00:58:00-05:00
