It always thrills me to see photos of our brides on their wedding day! I would like to thank all of our lovely brides who have sent us photos this year!

I'm Back!!!

Sometimes technology fails us. We've been blogless for weeks now due to a glitch that happened when we upgraded our website. For someone like me who would rather be linking pearls than working on the computer this has been a bit of a challenge to fix but it's finally done! I had to re upload all the photos that were on the blog and now I'm happy to report that we are back up and running with our blog!

So much has happened since my last post! I have several new photos which I will upload soon. We've been crazy busy with orders over the past weeks! Thank you to all of our lovely brides for choosing Northern Star Bridal Jewelry! I can't wait to see your photos!!

Our Jewelry in Action!

I love it when this happens! My good friend Cora Rudy of Cora's Photography recently photographed a wedding where the wedding party was wearing my jewelry! She sent me some photos to share. Phoebe and Francisco were married on April 26.

Phoebe is wearing Jennifer Necklace, Bracelet and Earrings (hers are clip-ons).



Phoebe's bridesmaids are wearing Tricia Necklaces.



Thanks for the photos Cora!

A Happy Bride

I love chatting with brides and helping them choose their wedding jewelry. Diana from Brampton, Ontario was a lot of fun to work with. Her 5 bridesmaids will all be wearing different dresses in the same colour, royal blue. Each bridesmaid chose her own jewelry to compliment her gown. Diana chose to use sapphire crystals in her own jewelry to coordinate with her color scheme (see our Something Blue post). Diana received her jewelry today and here's what she had to say:

Hi Lisa!
Just letting you know I received the jewelry today! I was so excited, and completely satisfied with the order... It looks absolutely gorgeous on the internet but is even more stunning in real life! Thank you, thank you! I couldn't be happier!

Diana

You're very welcome Diana!

I'm looking forward to seeing some photos after her wedding. I'll be sure to post them here!

Something New

I'm pleased to announce the addition of two new necklaces and bracelets to the site!

The Petal Necklace and Bracelet are made from gorgeous freshwater keishi pearls also known as "petal" pearls with tiny Swarovski crystals spaced throughout. The luster on these natural pearls is to die for! I have to special order these pearls so please allow 4-6 weeks if you would like to order this design for your wedding.

The Samantha Necklace and Bracelet is named after my adorable niece who is turning 1 in a couple of weeks. Happy Birthday Samantha! This two strand necklace and bracelet is made from wavy Hill Tribe silver beads with Swarovski or freshwater pearls.

Both new designs are fun and unique and perfect for a less formal or destination wedding.

Something Blue

As I sit at my work table creating jewelry and filling orders I often notice trends in color and design. Right now it's blue, blue blue! Blue is a fantastic choice for bridesmaids (who doesn't look good in blue?) but more and more brides are choosing to add "something blue" to their own attire!

Phoebe from Vancouver, BC chose aquamarine crystals for her Jennifer Necklace, Bracelet and Earrings.

Tammy from Vernon, BC wanted to add a little touch of her birthstone Aquamarine to her jewelry and chose to customize her Mikki Earrings with Aquamarine Fireballs.

Diana from Brampton, ON (whose bridesmaids will be wearing royal blue), chose to add Sapphire Crystals to her Erin III Bracelet and Paige Earrings.

Adding some blue to your jewelry is a great way to fill the "something blue" requirement. Want something really subtle? I'm happy to add a single blue crystal or pearl to your necklace or bracelet by request. Looking for a little more? Try replacing some or all of the crystals and pearls in the jewelry you've chosen with shades from Aquamarine to Sapphire like the brides above.
