Fashion Photo Shoot Day

2012-01-22T19:47:00.000-08:00

It's one of my favorite things about working in the fashion industry... fashion photo shoots! I mean, is this really "work" ?!

Just another 70 degree January day in California.... and we went to the gorgeous Hollins House at Pasateimpogolf club in Santa Cruz, CA with our gowns and jewelry in tow... in pursuit of some picture perfect bridal moments.

We love the photos we captured from the day. From the great hair, fashion, makeup, and, of course, unbelievable jewelry, these photos prove that the perfect accessory... is that one unforgettable detail. Find it at Perfect Details... where we curate the finest collections just for you.

We offer so many great accessories here at Perfect Details that I know, sometimes, it gets to be a wee bit overwhelming to find the right pieces that reflect YOUR style.

Where to begin? Well, here are some of our faves…

French Blush - Sorrelli Collection

When it's time to unwind, your beverage of choice is a light, fruity rose or a crisp white wine.

NEW: The Sorrelli Holiday 2011 Collections Have Arrived!

2011-10-25T10:07:00.000-07:00

We've been anxiously awaiting the launch of these collections all year. Why? The Sorrelli Holiday 2011 Collections are, quite simply, among their most exciting collections to date.

From the stunning pieces to the high quality and superb workmanship, Sorrelli is THE biggest secret among industry insiders. I like to call it... antique, heirloom, vintage-inspired looks without the trust fund prices.

Made with REAL Swarovski crystals (swoon!) and premium semi-precious gemstones, the Sorrelli Holiday 2011 Collections will bring some instant bling, pizzazz, and je ne sais quoi style to any outfit - whether it's a casual day in the office or a festive holiday party.

The Sorrelli Holiday Collections are made up of three newly themed lines:

French Blush: Chic hues of vintage rose, silver, clear & jet black crystals set in antique silver create an elegant, sophisticated, timeless collection.

Raw Sugar : Decadent champagne and silky copper mingle with clear crystals in an antique gold finish. Lavish. Alluring.

Emerald City: Rich emerald green with subtle hints of purple combined with Montana blue shimmering in an antique silver finish. A jewel tone masterpiece.

Mix and match from the different lines, or invest in a matching set or two.

Whatever you do, check it out the entire collection here at Perfect Details NOW. We're running a special to help you get a head start on your personal accessorizing, or - if you're so generous - on your holiday shopping.

As for me, I have to admit... I'm a huge advocate of retail therapy. Nothing like a little pick-me-up during the middle of the week!

Free shipping through November 5, 2011 on Sorrelli Holiday 2011 collection orders of $150+. Code PCHL11.

Stay tuned... Later this week, we'll share some of our favorites from the season...

Wrist Length Black Lace Gloves

Elbow Length Black Lace Gloves

Whether wrist length or elbow length, black gloves can be the perfect dramatic yet classic accent to your bridal look.

Maybe they're a little too edgy or dramatic for YOUR wedding?

Well, then, how about:
A special night out... or IN… with your man?
A girls’ night out?
Your next (Halloween) costume party?

The possibilities are endless. Investment dressing at it’s finest! Show off your style, and make a bold statement. Black lace gloves are definitely not for shy wallflowers.

Just one thing: remember to wear ‘em with confidence. Because you’ll be turning heads all night. Whatever the outfit or occasion, thanks to these little lacy numbers, you’ll be looking runway HOT. Now, where's my catwalk?

New York Bridal Week

2011-10-10T09:15:00.000-07:00

Can't believe it's that time of year again. We are jetsetting off to New York for a couture filled week of all things bridal. One of my favorite times of the year.

Swoon over ethereal fashions?...

In the meantime, we have some exciting new collections of bridal accessories arriving at our showroom over the next few weeks. Did someone say "Sorrelli"? Stay tuned....

Pink Bridal Shoes & Pink Evening Shoes

2009-04-04T11:37:00.000-07:00

With "PINK" being the refreshing "IT" color for Spring & Summer 2009, we thought what a great color shoe for Brides. Pink is soft and feminine, works with white, ivory, and blush gowns, doesn't need to be dyed and it can be worn after the wedding for any dressy or formal occasion for years to come. And...bridesmaids can wear the shoes as well as anyone attending a wedding. And of course, if you just love pink pretty shoes be sure to take a look at these:

Everything Bows!!!

2009-03-02T18:56:00.001-08:00

One of this season's fabulous looks is the return of the bow. From petite bows to sashes, oversized bows at the bodice, hem or waist, and of course bows of varying shapes and sizes at the back of the dress. We don't want you to look the "bow queen" but one accessory picking up the bow accent on your gown is a definite must, especially when we have shoes, jewelry and hair accessories featuring bow accents from the adorable to the sophisticated. Take a peak below:

Opera Length Glove Etiquette

2008-12-23T10:31:00.000-08:00

Winter weddings, Debutante Balls and Mardi Gras - the time of year that calls for opera length gloves...and for us many emails to Rachel Howard inquiring on evening glove etiquette. Below please find you guide to to opera length glove etiquette:

1. Traditionally, opera gloves should not be put on in public, but should be donned in the privacy of one's home before going out.

2. Your gloves should be kept on when shaking hands in a reception line) or when dancing.

3. Gloves may also be worn while drinking, however, It is better to remove, or partially remove them, when practicable (see #4 below).

4. You can partially remove your opera gloves by unbuttoning the mousquetaire wrist opening and pull your hand out through the opening, then tucking the finger section under the wrist or under your bracelet, if you are wearing bracelets - **bracelets should be worn over the gloves.

5. When you sit down to dinner, you should take off your gloves, and put them back on when dinner is over.

We've Been Blogged! Twice!

2008-12-14T11:23:00.000-08:00

If you're a California Bride, you're probably familiar with "Here Comes The Guide". It's a great publication and web-site with a wealth of information on locations and planning tips. Visit: www.herecomestheguide.com.

The Guide just did a piece on "Dream Bridal Fashion Ensembles: Bohemian Beach Weddings" featuring our silk wrap
to view the article: Bohemian Beach Weddings and to view all our wraps click the links. BTW we will be adding several new beaded wraps at the start of 2009.

And just a few weeks ago "The Guide" featured our guest books: "Gussied Up Guest Books"and the blog actually received a reward from the Uber Amazing Blog Award by Percy Sales Event.

Our guest books are unique, as they are hand crafted in California, use silk fabrics and ribbons, and utilize trims and beading that are similar to those used on designer gowns. Definitely not your average wedding guest book. The books also hold over 700 signatures, so couples can use them again for parties and special events in their new home for years to come.

Badgley Mischka Shoes Have Arrived!

2008-12-07T10:31:00.000-08:00

Our first small shipment of Badgley Mischka shoes has arrived. We received two fabulous evening shoes, Costa and Caroline that will be coming in Silk White in February. Thought we'd give you a sneak preview but you might want a pair for holiday parties or formal occasions. We think they're fabulous, and a great price for couture shoes.

How many different shades of white?

2008-12-02T23:01:00.000-08:00

We always get asked "what's the difference between white and diamond white?" What is candle light? It is amazing how so many names can exist for the same shade, but each designer feels that they must personalize their color names. Here is your quick guide to bridal colors, which should assist you in matching shoes, gloves and other accessories to your gown.

There are three (3) basic bridal shades:

1. silk white - a slightly off white shade. The fabric is silk, it can't be bleached, so it will never be the white shade of new tennis shoes.

2. diamond white - this is the shade between silk white and ivory. best described as a very light ivory shade.

3. ivory - in silk fabrics ivory is a true ivory. It is not a creamy ivory it has yellow in it.

Most designers do refer to silk white as the same shade. Diamond white is also referred to as antique white and candle light.

Ivory gets tricky when dealing with non silk fabrics. Most satin fabrics and blends tend to have more of a creamy ivory, whereas silk fabrics are a true rich yellow ivory. Speaking of blends, the only time you'll find "a new tennis shoe white" is when you are dealing with blended man-made fabrics. if you have a blended, bright white dress, you'll need to find accessories using blended fabrics, as anything in silk white will look light ivory next to the dress.

To further complicate things, there are many different fabrics used to create bridal gowns. Different types of fabrics take dye differently - thus a silk crepe gown in ivory may be a darker shade than ivory in duchess silk satin.

The key to your accessories is that they are in the same family, have the same tones. You'll almost never get "an exact match", a little lighter, a little darker is fine and actually adds texture and dimension. Mixing the different shades of white and ivory...not recommended. This season there are so many accessories in "ready to wear" in silver and gold, so that if you do have problems you can always go that route.

If you are shopping on line and unsure, always let the consultant know they type of fabric and it's always good to describe ivory shades as a creamy ivory or as yellow ivory. If your dress has an overlay make sure to mention that as well, as an organza overlay does change the overall color of the dress.

Cheryl King Couture Hair Accessories & Jewelry

2008-11-20T00:09:00.000-08:00

Welcome Cheryl King Couture. Based out of South Carolina, we met Cheryl at the NY Couture Bridal Show this past October. We fell in love with several of her pieces and decided to add her collection for 2009. We just received several pieces, below are our two favorites.

Love, love, love the feather hair pin called Andrea. It's just adorable and is available in your choice of white, ivory or black feathers. A bit difficult to photograph. Notice the attention to detail: the prong set Swarovski Rhinestone and the petite rhinestones scattered on the feathers - just enough to notice and add that extra special sparkle.

Another favorite are the vintage influenced hair combs shown below. Small combs such as these are great, as they work with about any hair style and hair length, and ***Bonus*** they can be worn again for any formal occasion.

They are a bit similar to the new Haute Bride combs in size - but definitely have a different look. Chery's pieces are all made with CZ that are actually cut at a diamond cutter in the US. Each CZ is cut to her specifications for her pieces and each stone is then prong set. More to come from Cheryl King in the next few weeks.
