Accessories for the Boho-Chic Bride!

So I have been gone a while again, but no worries, it has all been work related and I have even more things to share with you, so you will not be disappointed. We (Creative Wedding Solutions) just finished another one of our photoshoots, and I can not tell you how excited I am to share them when they are out. However, while we wait for them to return, I will go ahead and share a few things I hope you will enjoy.

The title says 'accessories for the boho -chic bride' so I will get on with it.

There are not very many options for wedding accessories that are not either white or covered in some kind of shiny stone and while that is all well and good, I happen to think we limit ourselves when we expect certain things to play a certain role or to be appropriate for certain times and not others. I was thinking about ways that brides can add character to their outfit in a way that reflects their unique style and thought how difficult it might get for the bride who is not into all the prim and proper looks that go with traditional accessories, so I started hunting.

I came across these really gorgeous pieces and had to share them with you. I would be so thrilled to wear them both on a regular basis and for boho- chic bridal purposes. As a wedding planner and a bridal fashion consultant, I would not hesitate to add any of these pieces to a bride whose fashion sense is boho- chic. What is boho- chic style you wonder? Think Kate Hudson, Nicole Ritchie and Sienna Miller and sometimes even Carrie Bradshaw and you are getting the picture. Since the point of it is to put together old and new pieces as well as organic items, a bride would look wonderfully and colorfully boho- chic if they added any of these to their out door summer wedding bridal gown or dress! Bonus?...You get to wear these again at other times in your life for a very long time and you don 't have to wait for the special occasion each year to wear them. Your brides'maids would probably also be thrilled to share in your gorgeous fashion sense, so what's not to like?

I bet you didn't know you wanted one till now...

I think it is the brilliantly unusual accessory for the unusual bride. These are designed and made by Nicole Deponte, who is often found hidden amongst her flowers, always sewing, and most certainly accompanied by her beloved mutt, Mon Chere (‘Monkey’ for short).

Get this- they are all made out of recycled vintage neck ties of assorted styles as you can see below. Among the various beauties you will find whimsical ascots, vests, ruffle cuffs as well as necklaces I bet you have never seen anywhere before - all in varied colors and textures.
Nicole will make any of these items especially for you as needed. She takes orders through her website and will be happy to do so for all your wedding needs, including your stylish groomsmen. The coolest thing I discovered when I spoke with her was that she will even make orders with ties you supply and accommodate pretty much any color scheme you prefer, if you find your tie collection lacking. The options are endless, and let's be honest- who doesn't want to be stylish and unique as well as environmentally friendly :)? It is a win-win from where I am standing and I love it. Thanks Nicole for the lovely gift of creativity!! Check out the rest of her stuff at http://www.nicoledeponte.com/ Enjoy!
