Bridal Styles

Written by Laura Stamper Let's talk about different bride styles. There are five basic categories; traditional, hippie (or new age) princess, Hollywood and Goth. This issue will cover everything for the traditional bride's wedding.

The traditional bride is classic and timeless. This style favors simple classic lines and time honored tradition. The key here is simple elegance. Ivory white is often favored by this style, and what goes better with ivory white than pearls?

Maybe you have your grandmothers pearls, but if you don't what better time to start your new life with a new heirloom piece of jewelry! This hand knotted pearl necklace will be something that is cherished for generations to come.
