SUMMER BRIDES

This summer has been a season of some pretty epic weddings. We have seen two young women become princesses and one fashion princess become rock royalty.

It's also been a refreshing time for wedding gowns, moving away from the strapless princess gown and towards a different silhouette: a one with sleeves and shoulder details. And we, of course, loved their accessories. Unfortunately we can't all be princesses and supermodels, but we have some ideas on how to get the look of one.


KENNETH JAY LANE Pearl Drop Earrings
SIMAN TU Tiara

First was Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Wales, in an Alexander McQueen lace gown which was an absolute perfection: very conservative, but very modern and romantic at the same time. Her Cartier "Halo" tiara from 1936 that she "borrowed" from the Queen kind of left us speechless. Okay okay, the little drop earrings were pretty too!


SIMAN TU Pearl Flower Comb

Then there was Charlene Wittstock who married Prince of Monaco last week. Her Armani Prive gown was so chic, so simple and so modern. She opted not to wear a tiara, and instead wore several floral pins or combs that were nesting on her chignon.


JENNIFER BEHR 'Bella' Flower Comb
Lisa Freede Bracelet

Kate Moss also got married last week! We have to say that her wedding looked a lot more fun than then the royal ones. Everyone seemed so happy, relaxed and casual. Kate wore a romantic bohemian Galliano gown. Her hair was down in the regular Kate style and adorned with a veil with two small flowers on each side. Her earrings were simple little pendants and she wore a sole thin diamond bracelet. She really is always so effortlessly chic, never overdone.

Anyone happy soon-to-be brides out there?

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)


Sherman Vintage Chandelier Earrings (AED 1900)



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.



Jennifer Behr Petite Crystals and Pearls Headwrap (AED 650)


Carmella Chiffon and Lace Flower Headband (AED 210 on sale)


Ben-Amun Long Pearl Necklace (AED 470)


Joomi Lim Mini Bijoux Pearl Bracelet (AED 450)


Kenneth Jay Lane Flower Enamel Ring with Pearl (AED 400)
