Wedding Blog
With less than six days until our shindig and nothing to accent my lovely lobes, I stumbled upon an image while on our photographer’s blog.

Not only is she stunning, but so are her earrings. Suddenly, I’d seen a pair of earrings that I thought might actually work.
This is going to sound silly, but earrings have actually been one of the hardest part of planning this wedding (well, beside the emotional ups and downs and maybe writing my own vows).
Just a little earlier in the day, Miss Frozen Yogurt had posted about Roberta Chiarella jewelry. I’d never heard of it. I took a gander and ended up ordering these lovely beauts in gold:
But as soon as I saw that bride above, I knew I had to have her earrings. I emailed our photographer to see if he’d put me in touch with her. Sure enough: bride meets bride, and earrings are ordered.
At this point, I’ll have a handful of earrings to try on with my dress. Oh, right. My dress. I’ll get that on Thursday once I’m up in Colorado with my wedding on, um, Sunday. Yep. Let’s just hope all of my alterations came out the way they should have.
Did you make any last-minute splurges from indecision? Which earrings, above, do you like better?

I love the second pair! Would you mind sharing the source? You think finding your earrings are hard I have 5 ear piercings to fill up! Your choices are both beautiful! Maybe you could change for the reception, especially if you will be rockin’ a second dress. Yay for impulse wedding splurges!!!
I love the Max and Chloe pair. Can’t wait to see what you end up wearing.
The second pair are gorgeous - where did you end up ordering them?
@MissBoulevard: @TravelBug: Hit the “source” link under the image and it should take you to the Max & Chloe page where you can order them from. They’re only $38 to boot!
STUNNING!! Number 2 is the winner! Ahh I can’t wait to see it all together!!
i LOVE option #2! they’re exactly what i’m looking for, so i might have to get a pair myself…. i can’t believe they’re only $38! i’ve also already bought 2 pairs and my wedding is not until May 2010…. but a girl can have more than 1 pair of earrings, right??
I love the second ones (one from your photog’s site) they are vintagy yet enough glamour, really pretty!
The second pair are more interesting, the first pair are classic. I’d keep them both! lol
That second pair is a great price and will look just perfect with your dress!
Gorgeous! I had Carolee earrings too and just loved them.
You’re getting close sista!
I just ordered the tear drop/burst earrings (the 2nd pair)… Thanks for the link 
That second pair is beautiful - something really timeless about them. And they’re a bargain!
max and chloe. sooo gorgeous. OOOH i’m so excited to see how it all comes together with your super gorg dress!
uh, what i meant was actually carolee. hmmm my link initially came up m&c??? weird.
I ended up getting new earrings at the last minute, too! The ones you bought from the bride are beautiful!
Classic and Beautiful! Can’t wait to see how they look with your dress!
I also think the 2nd ones by Carolee are lovely. I ordered a pair of earrings this week from Tigerlily (more expensive than Carolee’s); pretty impulsive since my wedding is in 10 days…
by the photo, second ones seem prettier…but in person, could be the other way around. I noted this when I scanned in jewelry — it comes out close, but not exact.
You’ll know when you are in the dress!
[...] I have a decision or two to make. The Chloe & Max earrings didn’t end up working out, nor did the Roberta Chiarella ones. They were both a little too [...]
hope your earring decision worked out and that you had a wonderful wedding! I was perusing weddingbee and surprised to see my face come up haha

About Me: I grew up in Los Angeles and have since lived in San Diego, Boston, Italy, Hawaii, New York City, and Santa Fe. I speak Italian and love pasta. My real passion is the outdoors, though. When I'm not at work, I'm snowboarding, hiking with my two dogs, mountain biking, surfing, cross-country-skiing, or boating New Mexico's rivers. Despite my boyish love for adventure, I'm a girly-girl at heart and am overly-excited to pull off the romantic, vintage-inspired, country wedding of my dreams.
