About Mrs. Sparkler

Bling Bling

June 30th, 2011 @ 4:38 pm by Mrs. Sparkler

The wedding packages just keep on coming! Yesterday all of my (MUCH anticipated) bridal jewelry arrived! I’m pretty excited about all of it, so I’m going to stop blabbing and just show you the pictures.

If you remember… these are the earrings I wanted so badly:

Kendra Scott’s Carmella Earring

…and here they are in real life!

I absolutely love them. They’re so much more detailed and delicate than the online pictures revealed, and they aren’t heavy at all! I know they won’t bother me once during the big day. And even if they do (again… they won’t), I also ordered a fabulous necklace to change into for the reception.

You might remember that I was considering this:

Bling Bling :  wedding chicago jewelry 4 4

Kendra Scott’s Grayce Necklace

…but a few days after writing that post, I fell in love with another K.Scott statement necklace. As soon as I saw Harlow, I knew she was the one:

Bling Bling :  wedding chicago jewelry 5 5

Kendra Scott’s Harlow Necklace

… but when I tried to place my online order, I saw that it was (gasp!) backordered! So I frantically called their headquarters in Texas to confirm that the necklace would ship in time for the wedding. Not only did the girls there insure me that it WOULD ship in time, but they called to follow up a few days later when they rushed my order out! Nice!

Naturally, my camera crapped out on me before I could get a nice pic of me wearing the necklace. So I’m sorry about the following less-than-stellar photo booth pic… but you get the idea. ;)

So there you go! Bridal jewelry? CHECK!

What do you all think?

I love those earrings! I contemplated those exact ones but ended up borrowing from my bride’s maid for my something borrowed. They look so much nicer in your pic than in the online pic!
