A Night at the DEBI Awards

Monday evening finally marked the date we had all been saving....the DEBI Awards.  All of our favorite designers were in Chicago for the National Bridal Market showing off their 2011 collections.  (We saw lots of exciting pieces full of sparkle and glamour.)  But Monday evening was a time to celebrate as several designers were honored with awards for distinctive excellence in the bridal industry.  This black tie awards ceremony took place at The Field Museum amid floor length gowns, bow-ties, and of course...accessories! Here are some of our favorite photos from the event.  Above, with one of the designers of Benjamin Adams, a London based bridal shoe company.

From left, Beth, Myself, Nuran and Allison of Angela Nuran Wedding Shoes, and Susan.

Cool shades of blue complimented the peacock themed evening. 

The Ladies of the Left Bank!

A fabulous time was had by all!  We all accessorized with different jewelry lines from our boutique.  I wore baubles by Meg Wedding Jewelry, Susan was decked out in Haute Bride, and Beth wore pieces by Hera's Gems.

Custom Bridal Headpiece

Can't find the perfect piece of wedding jewelry to match the ones you already have?  Why not create something completely unique.  Creating custom wedding jewelry is easier than you think!  One of our lovely brides came into the shop with this beautiful bracelet (above, get one for yourself Fleur Cuff, $ 39) and earrings (below).  She couldn't find the perfect gold hair piece to match.  So we used these pieces as inspiration for creating a custom hair comb.  Keep reading to see how we did it!

We happened to have these vintage rosettes in the shop that echoed the roses in her bracelet and earrings.  Then we found a gorgeous gold hair comb that was the right shape for the hair style our bride had in mind. (Below haircomb, $78)

We removed the rosettes from the bobby pins and painted them a soft ivory to match the gold tones and ivory flowers in the rest of her pieces.  Then using jewelers adhesive, we attached the rosettes to the comb!

Voila!  The finished, custom, and completely affordable hair comb!  Having trouble finding the perfect piece to complete your bridal look?  Come stop by the shop and let us design something just for you.
