I recently learned about the jewelry company 31 Bits when they launched their new bridal collection of fabulous layered necklaces and bracelets, and what a thrill to hear that their mission goes far beyond fashion! Check out their new collection in these photos (some from their beautiful look book photographed by our pal Jasmine Star) and learn more about their organization and order online at www.31Bits.com.

I'm a long-time fan of creative jewelry designer Emily Wheat Maynard of Elva Fields, so seeing the color palettes and natural materials she's been working with in her new spring 2012 collection has me giddy all over again! From textured white stones paired with vintage rhinestone brooches, to greens, pinks, corals and vibrant oranges, any of these one-of-a-kind pieces could add tons of fashion personality to a wedding day look. If you're into this sweetly multi-layered style, remember that her pieces go fast, so check back with her website often. And for ideas on how you could have a custom bridal necklace created just for you, check out the fun collaborations that Emily has been doing with women she admires, in her Leading Lady Collection - our pal Vané from Brooklyn Bride was featured just this week!

I think that veils and hair accessories are by far some of the most fun pieces of wedding day fashion, so when the designers at Yestadt Millinery introduced themselves to me I felt like I had struck gold! Based in NYC, their new bridal collection includes soft vintage-looking lace, delicate cage veils and other creatively constructed hair accessories and I just can't get enough!
