Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

April 2nd, 2013

We love our brides! In fact, we consider it a real privilege to provide our clients with a wide range of exquisite bridal jewelry rental options. Every once in a while, however, we have the opportunity to help dress women for other special occasions, such as this year’s Academy Awards, so it’s not that far fetched for us to sit back and imagine how great our pieces would look when paired with our favorite looks from Fashion Week. From New York to London, Milan, and Paris, we’ve picked out the very best evening looks. Enjoy!

There is something electric in the cold winter air of New York City every year during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. From Derek Lam to Zac Posen, fashionista’s reveled in this Sartorialist playground from February 7th – February 14th.

No collection was as romantic as the whimsical Marchesa. Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are said to have been inspired by Francisco de Goya’s painting “Portrait of Maria Teresa de Vallabriga on Horseback”.

Certainly any of these gowns could be right out of an eighteenth-century oil painting and would look delectable with the Lockwood Necklace and the Catherine Swarovski Crystal Headband

It seemed that London’s Fashion Week, from February 15th – February 19th, was one big tribute to the rebellious teenager in all of us.

Top Shop Unique set the stage for an eclectic mix of 90s Brit pop. Check out this sequined piece of heaven!

Following London’s Fashion Week, Milan’s shows from February 20th – February 26th, set the stage for high drama.

Saints, kings, and angels appeared in a mosaic style print on the pieces of Dolce & Gabanna.  Our favorite was this wondrously rich cocktail dress, which would look delightful with the Sophia Clutch.

What is it about black and lace that goes so well together? This number takes the “little black dress” to a whole new level, and we think any woman would look radiant with the Bailey Necklace and our Wolfson Earrings.

From February 28th to March 6th, Paris was the place to be, and these are our favorite looks.

If anyone hears of a better job than being the creative director of Alexander McQueen, we’d love to hear about it. Sarah Burton was faced with quite a conflict at this year’s show when the McQueen time slot for Paris Fashion Week fell on the due date of her twin daughters’ births. It was decided that the best way to deal with this dilemma was to keep the show small, with just ten pieces created. Burton did not disappoint. Inspired by ecclesiastical wear referencing religious iconography and the wardrobe of Queen Elizabeth I, this collection was unlike any we have ever seen. We would pair this exquisite McQueen gown with our diamond pearl drop Trueing Earrings.

Hosted under the historic Hôtel National des Invalides, home of the tomb of Napolean I, there is little doubt that this year’s Dior show will go down in the annals of history.

Be My Valentine

February 13th, 2013

Some couples just know how to do Valentine’s Day right. The flowers, the dinner reservations, the gift cards – sure, they may embrace it, but, when all is said and done, they understand that Valentine’s Day is more than just the sum of its (at times) cheesy romantic parts.

Be. My. Valentine: Three simple words, which are uttered year after year all over the world. It is a gentle plea for love, not just for one day out of the year, but for every

day that follows. We at Adorn, wish to take a moment to pay tribute to those couples that will be exchanging their vows on or around this very special day.
For us, the Feast of Saint Valentine represents all that we love about what we do – taking part on a very magical day that honors love.
And with that, we give you everything you need to celebrate the perfect Valentine’s Day wedding. Few flowers are as charming as the delightful Ranunculus, which blooms every February. As much as we love roses, we just can’t resist these beautiful bulbs for centerpieces and bouquets!

If you follow us on Pinterest, you already know we just adore wedding dresses that come in nontraditional colors. For Valentine’s Day, we would love to see a bride in pink Elie Saab!

And, of course, there’s the jewelry. Our hope is for every bride to have the most carefully selected pieces adorn her neck, wrist, or ears on her big day. It is a real privilege helping women around the world find the perfect bridal jewels. For cupid’s bride, we selected the Chadwick bracelet, the Middleton earrings, and the Spencer

necklace, all are available for rent or purchase through www.Adorn.com

The Winter Bride

December 31st, 2012

It begins in May and concludes in October every year – the wedding season. The warmer climate and the multitude of florals available, make the spring, summer, and early fall, an obvious choice for many couples planning their big day. But what about the winter bride?  Every year, long after the trees have lost their leaves and the crisp cold air settles in, more and more couples opt to say their vows during the winter months – some for cost saving reasons, others, out of a love of snow, and still some out of a desire to take advantage of some wedding colors and textures unique to the time of year.  Whatever the reason, we think there’s something pretty special about the winter bride. 

Winter brides can be as decadent as they want. A fur wrap to keep warm perhaps? And oh how we love metallics, particularly when they’re paired with rich dark hues. Gold and black, silver and navy, deep reds…

One of the main advantages of winter weddings are the cost cutting options.  With floral costs and rental fees at their lowest, brides often find the winter is a great time to design the event of their dreams on a friendlier budget. Year round, we’ve always felt no woman should have to sacrifice her style on the big day. Below are some of our favorite wedding day rental options for the winter bride.8-swarovskicrystal bag-cluth-wedding

Renting Diamond Jewelry vs. Buy – Womans Day Article Online

March 30th, 2012

We were included in an article by Womansday.com written by Michelle Crouch, the title “10 Things You didn’t know you could rent”.

The article reads: With a tough economy bringing about alternatives to buying, savvy retailers now offer rental services for almost everything, from fancy dresses to funeral caskets (yes, really). So how should you decide whether to rent or buy? Liz Weston, author of The 10 Commandments of Money, suggests asking yourself, “How often am I going to use this thing?” When you’ll get only a single use out of an item, it obviously makes more sense to rent.

Cathy Crecco of Woodbury, NY, never could have afforded to buy the sapphire necklace she rented from Adorn for her son’s wedding. “I got this magnificent thing in the mail, put it on with the gown and felt like a queen for a day,” she says.  Read more: Rent vs. Buy – What to Rent – Woman’s Day

Cathy rented the Valentine Earrings -  beautiful sapphire and diamond earrings, retail value $8,625.00, available for rent for $160.00. Cathy also rented the stunning coordinating Beckford Necklace  which retails for $47,500.00 and is available for rent for $990.00.

We were so excited when Cathy sent in a great testimonial and a link to view the wedding photo’s, we were so happy we could be apart of her special day with her beautiful family.
