the key elements to this bohemian look were all chosen to evoke a earthy goddess vibe. the hair is down, wavy and most importantly, effortless. the fabulous head piece makes a statement however is not over the top, as to not compete with the flower child earrings. makeup for this look should be minimal with a rosy cheek. and the bohemian beaded bracelets finish this look off. The flower sandal adds a nice element of surprise and maintains the romantic vibe.

Just because you lean towards a preppy style, it doesn’t mean you have to be boring. to prove it, I paired a fabulous Kate Spade shoe with this look for your something blue. the strings of pearls for the necklace are classic but still a twist on the tried and true one strand of pearls. An elegant clutch adds some refinement to this look, Lanvin really knocked it out of the park with that little number, what a fun play on ribbons! put your hair in a low chignon, throw on your soft pink lip and march down that aisle.

for my glamour girls, the old Hollywood vintage style never ceases to wow. the ultimate over the top accessory is this incredible Judith Leiber clutch. i love mixing metals and it really works in this look. why choose silver or gold??? the olden days of choosing just one are over. the fabulous and romantic art deco earrings are from my favorite online jewelry store Charm and Chain. leave your neck bare to add some drama and instead opt for a delicate cuff. all that’s left are your dancing shoes and of course your secretly fancy red pout.

Things that a bride or bridesmaid should have…

Oh – the Kate Spade ring and bangle – love the color!!!!!!!!!!

And since I can’t wear high heels at weddings while I work – all my purple bound brides should have their rehearsal dinner dress complete with these Kate Spade shoes or have the bridemaids indulge in them for the wedding day! How yummy!

Fun eco-friendly bridesmaid gift!  Kudos to Coca-Cola for making eco-apparel! Check it out: www.coca-colastore.com

Hard to believe – but all of the above sexy and cute four photos come from one place – Enamore Ltd!  Oh the British are far ahead in their sassy ways!  All items are made from vintage and eco-friendly materials!

And last but not least – my favorite wedding professional of the week.  We have one of the most talented acoustic guitarists living amongst us!  His name is Chris Dunn!  Not only does he have his own CD, he teaches guitar too!  I have used his guitar services for many of my brides over the years and he is amazing. If you want fantastic ceremony, cocktail or dinner music – you must hire Chris Dunn!

Have an eco-beautiful wedding!

Cheers – Katie Martin

Here are 2 pairs that I love from his current selection online:

And of course, a couple of classics that will never go out of style and can be found at online bridal shoe stores!!!  LOVE THEM!!!

For those of you who are bucking tradition and really want the shoe to be the center of attention, go for color and go all out!  How about these luscious Giuseppe Zanotti shoes (yes for the low low price of $698!!!! HA!!!)…found at Zappos!

Or these ridiculously cute blue shoes from my ever favorite Kate Spade!

Whichever shoe you choose, note that you should have a comfortable back-up shoe (of-course)!  I say this only because I live vicariously through my brides and their wonderful shoes as I have to wear my stylish flats the day of the wedding!  Have fun shopping ladies!
