Sophie's Closet Blog: LOVE AND FOREVER, IT'S WEDDING SEASON!

Vogue Japan (March 2010)

Wedding season is upon us, which means that there are still many brides scrambling and looking for those fine details. Every bride needs a little sparkle, so we though we'd introduce some lovely jewels that would put a smile on every bride's face (and the groom's too). But since every bride is different and has her own unique sense of style, it's important that she stays true to herself and the rest should fall into place!

We have broken down some of our favorite types of brides: The Princess Bride, The Modern Minimalist, and the Urban Bride.

THE PRINCESS BRIDE

Grace Kelly on her wedding day (1956)

The Princess Bride is the classic traditional bride. She has dreamed about her wedding day her entire life. Her style icon is Grace Kelly and she is going all the way: the fluffy gown, the veil, lace, pearls, diamonds.... She loves antique style and looks for heirloom-type jewels. At Sophie's Closet we have just what this bride needs: vintage, Siman Tu, Kenneth Jay Lane, and of course, Jennifer Behr to complete the princess look.

Siman Tu Cubic Zirconial Bow Flower Earrings (AED 1250)

Siman Tu Black Diamond CZ Earrings (AED 1650)

Kenneth Jay Lane Pearl Bow Earrings (AED 350)

Kenneth Jay Lane Antique Drop Earrings (AED 620)

Vintage Crystal Brooch (AED 420)

Jennifer Behr Knotted Crystal Headband (AED 980)

THE MODERN MINIMALIST

Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jr (1996)

The Modern Minimalist bride's style icon is Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. She prefers clean, modern lines. Her dress is very simple but chic, with accessories kept to a minimum. Just a touch of sparkle here and there is all this bride needs.

Ben-Amun Crystal Clip Stud Earrings (AED 520)

Kenneth Jay Lane Large Gunmetal Pave Hoops (AED 798)

CC Skye Pave Stud Earrings Silver (AED 590)

CC Skye Million Dollar Pave Bracelet (AED 135

Jennifer Behr Mini Crystal Scallop Headband (AED 570)

THE URBAN BRIDE

Mick and Bianca Jagger (1971)

And, finally, the Urban Bride is the "no-fuss" bride. Heading down to City Hall followed by a nice dinner, this bride wants to keep her big day on the casual side. She might wear her favourite white dress or throw on a pair of white pants or maybe a white blazer, like Bianca Jagger in her YSL back in the day. But even the Urban Bride needs accessories. Instead of a big floppy hat like Bianca’s, we suggest an attention grabbing headband and a simple necklace, bracelet, or a cocktail ring.
