Many of my brides are choosing a colour for their bridesmaids dresses, and having their bridesmaids choose their own style of the dress.  If you’ve ever been a bridesmaid – you can understand the extreme graciousness of this move!  Some of my favorite dresses this year have been on J.Crew – with some really fashion forward colour choices – all, fantastic backdrops for some modern posy bouquets.

With the varying styles, it’s so important to bring some continuity to the vision.  Definitely the same bouquet, but lately I’ve also noticed how great the matching pendants and earrings look – and what a great gift to your bridesmaids!

Etsy.com led me to Yolanda Pang at Poetic Designs.  Turns out she’s a fellow Canadian and Paris obsessed artisan – (kindred spirit) putting together vintage inspired jewels and baubles into wearable one of a kind art.  You have to take a look at her designs in her Etsy storefront.  She’s totally open to custom designs for your ladies in waiting or a special commemorative occasion.
