If you aren’t into the crystals or beading, you can always try a satin sash as well.

As I did this post I couldn’t get the song “Bling Bling” outta my head! Yes in 8th grade I listened to rap haha it lasted only a short time and at 27 I am officially old because it gives me a headache now. ANYWAYS…looking at bridal jewelry is one of my favorites but I do have to say it is a little bit of a hunt. When I got married finding jewelry was a little difficult, the fake, small, and plastic was NOT the look I was going for. When you spend hundreds of dollars on your dress you don’t want to be wearing jewelry that looks like it came from Claires. If you live in the Columbus area try checking out some of the boutiques in the Short North for unique pieces but if you are specifically wanting bridal try Le Juene Marie or Bella Laccio. Here are a few of my favorite pieces that are accessible to everyone online.
Can you tell I like big pieces? I would wear these out on the town too : )

Hi, I’m Zeta Pongonis, and I am the face behind Kewpie Dolly accessories. I specialize in custom hair pieces and fascinators for all occasions, as well as handmade jewelry. My pieces are most commonly comprised of real antique brooches, real feathers, leather, old earrings, and other broken jewelry that I re-purpose into fresh new looks. I love thrifting and antiquing to find the right pieces for my creations. I also love to work with brides, because I am creating for a subject in mind, and it’s a great challenge to channel someones personality into a piece using flowers, colors or personal keepsakes. Most often the wedding veil is removed after the ceremony, so it’s great to have another option for adorning the brides hair throughout the whole evening. I have even worked with bridesmaids to make matching feather fascinates to their dresses. 

I sell at 3 Boutique in Powell, Milk Bar in the Short North, and I also have an etsy account at,www.etsy.com/kewpiedolly Come check me out, or hit me up for a custom piece!
