Wendy Brandes Jewelry in Inside Weddings

March 24, 2014 by WendyB

A big thanks to Inside Weddings magazine for including my Marie Antoinette earrings in the Spring 2014 feature on purple gemstones. Remember, this is the year of Radiant Orchid!

My earrings are on the bottom row. Click to enlarge.

The story says: “Top off spring bridal styles with luxurious violet-hued jewels and gemstones.” I think that’s a great idea. Color livens up a traditional wedding look. When my famously pink-loving friend Shawn got married in 2012, her dress was gorgeous but the pink shoes were so “her” that they made me smile. That same year, a blue bridal gown by Oscar de la Renta took my breath away. I still think that dress would justify a very fancy vow-renewal ceremony for me and MrB.

    Earrings fit for a “princess bride”…or a queen, I guess!! 😉

    I checked out that Oscar de la Renta wedding dress, too…maybe he would do it up in purple for you, to match the earrings?! I totally think a fabulous gown is reason enough for a vow renewal ceremony (besides the significance of the actual vow renewal, of course!!)

      I like the way you think!

      Purple WOULD be gorgeous.
