Beautiful Jewelry Under $10.00!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
We all want to look glamorous or elegant on our wedding day without spending a chunk of our budget on wedding accessories. I've worn crystal necklaces that people thought had real diamonds in them and you can do just that on your wedding day without guests giving it second thought. Plus I doubt they will be focusing on your jewelry much when they'll have your beautiful gown to focus on. That is why you should check out SamMoon.com since there you can find a bunch of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and even gifts that will help you look as glamorous as you want to feel on your big day.

This site comes recommended and I wouldn't be telling you about it if they're jewelry weren't cheap too. As a matter of fact, you can buy many pieces of jewelry there for under $10! So click on the link so that you can go and see it for yourself. The website again is SamMoon.com!

Ring Pillows with Peacock Feathers!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Since I am pulling together my green and blue Caribbean theme wedding, I've been on the hunt for peacock inspired pieces to create that elegant feel I want to achieve. These two ring pillows are examples of what I want. I found them both at Luly's Wedding Accessories. I am having a hard time trying to figure out which one I like more though since each one have specific elements that I love... but they are both very different.

I may have to custom order a blend of the two if I can't decide and that way I'll have a one of a kind creation. I may also make one myself since I have some sewing skills but if I don't get around to it, at least now I know where to find two that I like a lot...at Luly's Etsy Shop.

Gorgeous Custom Made Garters You Won't Want To Toss!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Usually, I won't recommend that any small budget bride spend more than $15.00 for a garter set, but that was until I came across these from my favorite Etsy store owner Luly612. Her custom made garters are an absolute work of art, I love them, they are beautiful and definitely worth the $20.00 price tag. I've listed a few of my favorites below and even the more traditional one that she sells modestly for $12.00 but as usual you can get a set custom made just by contacting her.
Check out the garters and other fabulous custom made wedding items HERE at Luly612's Etsy store.

Crystal Necklace Sets starting at $8.99
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Yesterday I told you about two websites where you can rent expensive jewelry for an affordable price. Well, for those who would rather own the look but for less, I've found the perfect store for you. I've had this site book-marked for a while since I have been planning on buying some jewelry there for myself. The sets are affordable starting at $8.95 with the highest price being $29.95, so you can buy some fantastic looking crystal necklace and earring sets for you or your bridesmaids. They are beautiful and it's hard to believe that some of them does not contain real diamonds but you can certainly rock them like they're the real thing.
