Colorful Earrings for Brides + Bridesmaids by Doloris Petunia

Maybe I should re-name this week the Doloris Petunia week on CB - I just can't help it, Courtney has so many darling details that I think would be perfect for your big day! Today I wanted to share her earring line which I think embodies the essence and glamour of Old Hollywood and I think they'd be so fun to add a bit of color to a bride's ensemble. The honeybee style is also sweet for bridesmaids and the colors can be customized to match your wedding palette. Here's a peek at my favorites but you can shop the full earring line here.

Which is your favorite?

ps. Check out my Instagram, @classic_bride, to see what I'm wearing today, inspired by these pretties.

Flowergirl dresses by Doloris Petunia

Yesterday, I shared the gorgeous Utah wedding of Doloris Petunia designer, Courtney Prince. You saw the cute-as-can-be sparkly flower girl dresses she designed for her own wedding and today, I'm going to share a few more of my favorite flower girl looks from her current line. / Photos by Elizabeth Messina.

The Classic Bride Loves Antique Signet Rings

Signet rings embody classic preppiness to their core and I love that they can become family heirlooms - they're the perfect 'other' ring for your wedding day! They're typically made of gold or silver and feature a monogram, initial, seal or family crest. I've personally been on the hunt for one for myself for about a year now. I'm hoping to find an antique beauty with pearls and/or sapphires but it's turning out to be a challenging hunt. Regardless, here's a few of my favorites (both new and antique styles) I found on Etsy:

Personalized crest signet ring.

Diamond engagement signet ring. (You could have your married monogram engraved on this beauty!)

Sterling silver signet ring (customizable).

Antique family crest signet ring (circa 1920). Umm, I'm dying over this one. The pearls and acorns are just too much! Love.

Antique Men's Victorian Signet with rose gold.

Which ring is your favorite? Are you thinking about incorporating a signet ring in your wedding? Please tell! :)

CB's Tip: It probably goes without saying but my favorite are the antique signet rings. If you agree and don't have any luck on Etsy finding what you want, check out the jewelry counters at antique malls and vintage boutiques and look for a blank ring that you can have personally engraved. Bonne chance!

Classic Style File: Pearl Studs for Your Wedding

I'm one of those girls who wear pearls everyday (even to the gym!) so they were a no-brainer for my wedding. But whether they're already an everyday staple for you or not, they are, imho, as classic as you can possibly get for your wedding day. Here's a few of my favorite styles right now:

ps. I also have a set of vintage faux-pearl earrings for sale in my wedding boutique, CBV! And at $65.00, they're a steal:

Are you wearing pearls for your wedding day? I'd love to hear what style you'll be wearing!! xx.

Classic Bride Style File: Moore & Giles for Wedding Gifts

I'm so excited to share my new favorite source for leather goods with you today as they have such a wonderful selection for wedding gifts: Meet Moore & Giles!

I have a serious weakness for sumptuous leather (who doesn't?!) so I was ecstatic when Moore & Giles reached out to me and asked me to do a review of their brand. After looking through their online catalog, I couldn't stop thinking about one of their beautiful weekender bags. I knew it would be the perfect bag for the upcoming roadtrip J&I have planned to Marfa, Texas. And, omg, did I make the right choice. The Benedict Weekend Bag in Brompton Walnut is officially my new favorite weekender bag and I know it would be a perfect honeymoon bag, too. ;)

I don't think I'm going to be able to adequately describe the deliciousness of the leather of my Benedict bag but I'll try ... As soon as I opened the package from M&G, I was enveloped in a heavenly cloud of fantastically rich leather permeating the air - heady and intoxicating. And when I pulled the beauty out of the cloth bag, I immediately fell in love with the thick, soft, sumptuous texture. I also love that it has a bit of a worn-in + vintage look and I can't wait to see how beautifully this rich leather will age - I know I'm in for a treat!

My Benedict bag came with a matching leather luggage tag (which will certainly come in handy for all the traveling I plan to do with it!) and an attachable leather shoulder strap which is great for versatility.

Moore & Giles offers custom monogramming on many of their items so, of course, I opted to get my Benedict bag monogrammed - I love how subtle it is.

Somehow, my vintage Semflex felt right to throw in the shoot! ;)

Moore & Giles also offer a beautiful collection of leather goods perfect for one-of-a-kind wedding gifts. Designed to last forever, they're just the right touch of luxury for wedding party gift giving that reflects how special the giver’s loved one truly is. Check out the M&G's wedding gifts here.

with my pretty Benedict bag in tow. ;)

Classic Style File: Leather Touches for your Wedding

I love the idea of incorporating leather touches in a wedding and the events leading up to a wedding. The material lends a timeless richness and becomes even more special when personalized. Here's a few sumptuous pieces I'm loving right now:

Monogrammed leather shaving kits are such a thoughtful gift for groomsmen. I'm loving this collection (above and below) from Lifetime Leather Co on Etsy.

Personalized leather luggage tags make wonderful wedding favors. Savannah Guthrie recently used them in her Arizona wedding as place cards which doubled as favors. She also included hand-written notes to each of her wedding guests - how beautiful is that?

Love these luggage tags from Etsy shop, Of The Fountain, but I'd probably just include the guests' name and let them write the details inside the tag. ;)

You already know I have a soft spot for suspenders so, of course, I'm smitten with this gorgeous leather pair from Stag Austin.

A few more ways to incorporate leather?
- Gift your love a monogrammed leather flask on your wedding day
- Have your menus printed/branded/calligraphied on leather.
- Instead of using a luggage tag as a place card, consider a personalized passport cover in leather. It offers the same sense of privileged wanderlust.

Classic Style File: Timeless Black and White Stripes

Stripes will always be a classic design staple and good news: They're oh-so-BIG this year. I've always had a fondness for black and white stripes - there's something so clean and crisp and direct about the look. I've actually been looking for ways to incorporate more stripes in our home {re-upholstering some French chairs, adding a tablecloth, throw pillows, etc.} but I think black and white stripes would make an excellent statement for a wedding and I absolutely loved how Jaimee incorporated the theme in her Parisian elopement that I shared not too long ago on the blog:

While the stripes in this Parisian wedding come across as dramatic, moody + sexy, they can easily be tailored to feel more playful, flirty and fun by adding another color in the mix - kelly green or marigold yellow are always winners!

One of my favorite ideas for incorporating stripes into a wedding is having the 'maids wear voluminous striped skirts with simple oxford button-ups or tanks on top - statement necklaces could be used to inject some color.

Shoes could be another fun way to incorporate stripes in your wedding - I'm loving these striped heels for a black-tie event!

Check out my pinterest board dedicated to black + white stripes.

And Commerce Street Events also has a fantastic board all about stripes!

Classic Bride Style File: The Short Wedding Dress

I still remember the moment I tried on my gorgeous tea-length wedding dress. I had never considered wearing anything but a long, flowing gown but after trying on about 20 gowns with corset ties and voluminous skirts that made it difficult to even walk, I realized that look just wasn't me. The whole ordeal of just trying these gowns on made me feel constricted, anxious, irritated, frustrated and completely suppressed.

As soon as I slipped on my Alençon lace tea-length dress, I felt gorgeous, radiant and free - and totally comfortable. It was bliss and I couldn't imagine having worn anything else on my wedding day. So today is all about saluting the short wedding dress. Cheers!
