I like reading wedding blogs, Photoshopping wedding design mock ups, making lists, and planning, planning, planning! I’m a bit of an anomaly, on one side I’m a very girlie girl, I collect shoes, I lay out my outfits 4-6 weeks in advance, and I’d never leave the house without my hair curled and makeup on. But on the other side, I’m a total tomboy, I love to go camping and hiking, play drinking games (hey, I’m Irish!) and most of my closest friends are guys. My fiancé and I are planning a DIY-focused wedding with a balance between easygoing (what he wants) and chic and stylish (what I want), and are tying it all together with elements in lavender, sage, butter cream and chocolate.
About Mrs. Cola

It’s time to show you my first ever Etsy purchase, from the fabulous seller Luxe Deluxe. Check out their store for some seriously jeweled eye candy.

Working with this seller was extremely easy. I first inquired about some great looking earrings in their store, to see if a matching bracelet and necklace existed (most of the jewelry in their store has matching pieces). The earrings had just the right balance of bling and pearls that I was looking for to go with the details on my dress.

After several back and forth e-mails, the seller was able to create mock ups for me of a matching necklace and bracelet, modeled after other styles in their store, but with the beautiful pearl and Swarovski crystal filigree that I liked from the earrings.

And here are the beauties that I ended up with, which came in cute little pink ribbon wrapped boxes (all these photos taken by me):

(the quality of work from this seller is amazing! Even down to the necklace clasp with crystals, these pieces are just beautiful, and well worth the total of $218 + $8.25 shipping!)

And here I threw on a tube top to show you all what they will look like when I’m wearing them. With my hair half up, the earrings will be shown off pretty well, and I think the necklace is the perfect length to go with my strapless dress (the seller even made the necklace and bracelet to my size specifications, which is fantastic for my tiny wrists, so I won’t have to worry about the bracelet slipping off).

I still can’t decide if the bracelet should be worn on my right or left hand. If it’s on the left, it will probably be more comfortable, but I don’t want it to detract from the new bling of my wedding band and e-ring. So maybe it should be worn on my right wrist, to balance things out?

What do you think, which wrist will you be wearing a bracelet on, if you’re wearing one? And where did you find your wedding jewelry?

I love those! I am especially taken with your bracelet. I am thinking of getting a bracelet too, and I think I am going to wear it on my right wrist to balance out the bling.

Ooh I love that! Goes perfectly with your dress detail. Nice work! I’m going for a similar look - and, yes, it does remind me of the Regina B. pieces, which is where I got my inspiration pics for my jewelry. I’m totally gonna check out this seller.

Beautiful! I purchased my jewelry from Etsy seller PenelliBelle. I ended up wearing the bracelet on my right wrist…it was perfect because that is the wrist photographed during the vows since it faces your guests. Definitely try everything on with your dress….I ended up NOT wearing the necklace she made to match the bracelet because I didn’t want to take away from the detail on the dress. Earrings + bracelet were perfect with my strapless.

I love luxe deluxe- her pieces are so pretty! I wore my bracelet on my right hand so that it would show up in pictures when my dad walked me down the aisle.

I didn’t wear my watch so I wore mine on my left wrist. It was (is) a beautiful tennis bracelet that was my wedding gift from the hubby. After looking at my pictures, though, the bride’s right arm is facing the crowd (and, thus, photographer) so you might consider doing that.
