Yesterday we blogged about the drop dead gorgeous engagement rings by Diamond in the Rough. And today, it's all about shoes!
The Bridal Collection by Jimmy Choo is a shoe girl's dream come true, and a budget bride's worst nightmare. With prices in the $500 to $1500 range, these drool-worthy kicks cost a pretty penny. But they're just SO gorgeous! Sky high heels, gold & silver sparkle for days, vibrant strappy sandals and crystal-encrusted heels... I'm convinced that wedding...

After complimenting my sweet grandmother on her turquoise earrings a few times, I became the proud new owner of these vintage gems. The earrings have been passed down for generations, and were given to my grandma by her mother. I started thinking about how gorgeous these would be for a bride's something blue, and since they're vintage, they'd count for her something old, too!
I've always been a fan of turquoise. The stone, the color, you name it. If you're like me, then turquoise...

One of these things is not like the other...one is these things is a designer heel that retails for $1,350, and the other is a more budget-friendly alternative that's only $160.
Can you guess which is which? Is the designer option studded with diamond pave? Sadly, no. We checked. Is the designer name worth the extra $1,190? Well...just how much did you love your BeDazzler as a youth?

I'm the youngest of three girls so growing up, I was sporting my sisters' hand-me-downs like nobody's business. And when we did go shopping, it was to Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Not Nordstrom or Saks.
I grew up thinking that Nordstrom was expensive and only appropriate when looking to splurge. But after doing some side-by-side comparisons of products in Nordstrom's Wedding Suite and designer items in Net-a-Porter's...

Just because you’re a budget-minded bride doesn’t mean you’re not susceptible to the latest trends. My current obsession, for example: sequin everything. Nothing makes me squeal like a 12 year old at a Hanson concert circa 1997 more than a sparkly pair of designer sequin pumps, or a cute little sequined party dress. But as much as we lust over names like Kate Spade, Vera Wang, or Jimmy Choo – forking up several hundred dollars for a single pair of shoes puts a serious...
