#157 Sohomode Bridesmaids

My fondness for not so matchy bridesmaids is hardly a secret, however what you don't know is that I also love cowboy boots. Someday I will find the perfect pair that don't make me look like a giant.

Anyhow, how super cute is this photo?! Those boots... those bridesmaids... those dresses!
Custom vintage inspired tea dresses by Sohomode, gorgeous much?
Made to measure with a lined bodice, contrasting piping & velvet ribbon, they have a gathered straight skirt with pockets in the side seams & a cinch belt.
The best part (well aside from getting to wear one of these lovely frocks of course!), is that you get to go to the Sohomode blog where you choose you fabrics from the collection listed! Umm fun?!

The blog also gives instructions for how to take your measurements correctly so that your dress fits oh so perfectly.

I saw the first photo on the 'White' magazine facebook page, if you haven't seen the magazine already you should check it out, a brilliant source of beautiful inspiration.

#143 Bridesmaid Clutches

Yesterday I featured a clutch from EllenVintage, looking at her creations got me thinking about the trend of giving clutches as bridesmaid gifts so I thought now would be a good a time as any to feature a few options for either gifts or for the bride herself.

Here's a slightly different version of yesterdays clutch, as well as more 'something blue' & a of more traditional option...
  
  

My favourites, also from EllenVintage. Check it out... doily design bag!!! LOVE.

 

One from mermaids dream & three from joanyg

   

And quite a 'few' picks from Bagitarian...

                

My close second in the favourite stakes, also from Bagitarian, the 'Love Letters in the Sand' series...

    

Do you have a favorite?

#130 Bamboo Earrings + Cuff links

Wooden earrings are brilliant, they are aesthetically very lovely but also so lightweight that they are incredibly comfortable to wear. I have a couple of pairs & they are easily favourites.
These earrings are from Bamboo Village, any guesses what they're made from?

 
 

So beautifully ornate. A bridesmaid accessory &/or gift?
The lotus pair are definitely my top pick of these & they're only $24.95!

And a pair of Bamboo Village cuff links for the boys, you know, so they don't feel left out.
