Heads up, people! British footwear designer Harriet Wilde is bringing studs to the wedding world! They’ve just launched a collaboration with Rock My Wedding- a collection of 4 exclusive stylish wedding shoes sold only through RMW and Harriet Wilde. First up is “Industrial“, a sweet, nude kid suede peep toe featuring a studded Art Deco inspired fan design- these little gems are bridal shoes with rock chic attitude!
Add to that, ‘The Blue Soul“- aptly named as it features a blue leather sole. Inspired by the pretty button details on wedding dresses, each shoe features the detail in a line on the back of the shoe and heel, available in either pearls, studs or Swarovski crystals.
These styles are available only through Harriet Wilde and RMW online boutique, and quantities are limited, so if you love them (and you know you love them)- you’d better grab them. Oh, and they ship worldwide. Rock on, les filles!

The holidays are behind us, love is in the air, and Winter Weddings are in full swing around the globe. If you’re looking to make a statement that’s modern, fun, sophisticated and uniquely YOU with your winter wedding accessories, then you need to take a look at Astrid Mueller’s new line, possibility. Tapping into her lifelong fascination with clear materials and design tools (remember Spyrograph?) and pairing them with her stylishly minimalistic design aesthetic, possibility is the best of both worlds for Astrid- an extremely gifted graphic designer who counts Swarovski, Marie Claire, Diesel (and parisian events!) as past clients.
possibility is clear Lucite jewelry, with engraved illustration patterns, Swarovski crystals and velvet ribbons, inspired by bedazzling city glamor and a verve for life. For her first collection, Snövit, Astrid drew inspiration from the confidence and cool monochromatic colors of New York fashionistas, the clarity of fresh ice cubes clinking in a martini glass, and the geometric delicacy of fresh snowflakes. It’s all part of her mission to “create jewelry that shimmers with the spirit of possibility and fills you with joy whenever you wear it”.
Currently in its soft open, you can access the Snövit collection through etsy, but be sure to sign up on the waiting list to be first to know when their retail boutique partner list is launched. And while you’re at it, join Astrid and friends on Polyvore, and add your own mood board using pieces from the possibility collection: http://tinyurl.com/possibilityI-on-polyvore

Blair and Judson contacted me last fall to help them plan their wedding ceremony here in Paris. They were coming over with an intimate group of their nearest and dearest, and wanted to celebrate everything that they loved about this City. Destination Wedding photographer Heidi Geldhauser from Our Labor of Love joined them on their Parisian adventure and shared these amazing images of their day: 
Blair, a consummate (and crafty!) francophile, added special touches to further personalize their day. She always loved the Romani idea of sewing special things into a wedding dress for good luck– initials, special dates, spices to ward off evil spirits, etc. So she chose to sew a cicada into her hemline in honor of Judson ( his band is called Tettix (ancient Greek for cicada.) It was also her “something borrowed”, as a close friend who couldn’t make it to the wedding lent it to her). Next to it, she sewed in a medallion she used to wear around her neck of Saint Geneviève– the Patron Saint of Paris. She told me, “France has always been a special place to me, ever since I was a child, and eventually I lived in Paris for a year in college. Afterward, I always wore my Ste. Genevieve necklace as a reminder of where I wanted to someday return to– so sewing it into my hemline was a special tribute to the city that keeps summoning me back.” 
After their ceremony, Blair and Judson spent the morning running around Paris with their families and best friends, stopping to take pictures in all of their favorite places- including the Pont des Arts, where they added a Love Lock to the bridge, and tossed the key into the Seine. 
After a champagne brunch at Angelina’s, the newlyweds headed back to their apartment with Heidi in tow- down Bd St Michel past some quintessential French landmarks, and even braved a Metro station in their wedding gear to take pictures with the trains. Blair said some of her favorites are from the end of the day, when Heidi was able to snap some really cool pictures of them relaxing on very Parisian back streets without any of the traditional French landmarks in the background.
Félicitations again, Blair & Judson. I’m so glad that your time in Paris was everything that you’d hoped it would be!
