Adorning Her Daughters with Diamonds

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

One of the things we love most about working here at Adorn is meeting the wonderful people who cross our path.  We had the pleasure recently of working with a mom whose heart is in the right place and could teach us all a thing or two.

We first met Cheryl when she rented our Brent necklace and Brent earrings for someone special – no, not her daughter, but her soon to be daughter-in-law! What a great lesson this Mom has for the rest of us that she wanted to do something special for her daughter-in-law on her wedding day and set the positive tone for their future relationship. 

Our bias aside, we thought renting her daughter-in-law diamond jewelry for the wedding was a special, one-time gift she could provide her new family member at an important time in her daughter-in-law’s life. Most brides don’t have the budget to purchase real diamond jewelry, especially if she wants something with a little more bling. We’re betting Cheryl’s gift of an Adorn jewelery rental was well received.

Cheryl’s selection of our Brent earrings and Brent necklace were the perfect accessories for her daughter-in-law, who looked beautiful in a strapless, classic wedding gown. The Brent necklace is a unique diamond and pearl drop necklace that offers plenty of sparkle for the bride seeking the glamour and allure only real diamonds can offer. Retailing for $16,250, the Brent necklace rents for $190. Offering the best of both worlds, the coordinating Brent earrings combine the same emerald shape diamonds and pearl combination for a stunning, classic look. The Brent earrings retail for $2,495 and can be rented from Adorn for an affordable $85.

As you can see from the photo with her bridesmaids, the choice of a pearl and diamond jewelry set by the bride, and the pearl necklaces worn by the bridesmaids, provided continuity and a coordinated look for the wedding party.

Here’s how Cheryl describes her experience with Adorn, in her own words:

“The first time I used Adorn, I rented a necklace and earrings for my new daughter-in-law on her wedding day.  It was my special gift to her (and the perfect beginning to a new and wonderful relationship)!   The second time I used Adorn was for my daughter on her wedding day (10/22/11). Both times, the jewelry perfectly complimented the day! The process was super-easy and the staff at Adorn was very accommodating. “ – Cheryl L.

As Cheryl mentioned, she also turned to Adorn when it was her daughter’s turn to get married in October.  Our Hartley necklace and Hartley earrings were a great choice for her daughter, and didn’t detract from the embellishments on the bodice of her wedding dress, but added an additional dash of elegance. The necklace has a retail value of $9,300 and can be rented from Adorn for $180. The Hartley earrings have a retail value of $4,475 and can be rented for $120.

Thank you, Cheryl, from your friends at Adorn for turning to us during two of the most important times in your life. It was a pleasure working with you.

It’s All About the Dress

Saturday, November 5th, 2011
Congratulations to Randy Fenoli on his new book, “It’s All About the Dress:  Savvy Secrets, Priceless Advice, and Inspiring Stories to Help you Find ‘The One’”! The star of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress, Randy also stars in Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bridal Bliss and Randy’s Top Ten. As Fashion Director for Kleinfeld Bridal, Randy personally sees over 15,000 brides each year, so his experience with brides is extensive. 
It's All About The Dress

It's All About The Dress

Photos used throughout the book are photos of real brides – in all ages and sizes. (Now, here’s an expert that gets women!)   Other topics covered include dress and wedding budgets, wedding accessories, and bridal party attire. Whether it’s in his role as Fashion Director of Kleinfeld Bridal or author of his new book, Randy’s goal is to make women feel her most beautiful on her special day, and this book will help brides do that.

“It’s All About the Dress” is full of great fashion advice for brides, including suggestions on flattering cuts, fabrics and styles for different body types. As he states in this interview on The Today Show (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/45149664/ns/today-books/t/randy-fenoli-explains-why-its-all-about-dress/ ), the book title was written in jest;  Fenoli stresses to brides that although the dress is symbolic of your personal style, its purpose is to reflect how the dress makes you feel – beautiful – on your most important of days.  We love Randy’s take on the traditional fashion advice women have received regarding body shape – throw out the pear shaped metaphors, women aren’t fruit!  He discusses this further in the book, under Rule #7.

 During The Today Show interview linked above, Randy presented a gown by Tara Keely (TK 2201) which retails for $1,925. The dress is an ivory, Alencon lace, A-line bridal gown with V-neckline, keyhole back and cap sleeves. It features a satin ribbon at the natural waistline with floral organza appliqué and chapel train. 

We completed the look for this beautiful gown with Adorn Brides’ dangle marquis diamond earrings, the Clemons earrings, an accessorizing piece which complements the overall look at an affordable rental price of $160. Our Clark bracelet finishes off the look; the Clark bracelet is an elegant and unique flower bracelet that beautifully incorporates 5 total carats of diamonds and rents for $190.   These pieces are classic and romantic. More importantly, we share Randy’s belief that on your wedding day, the focus should be on how your clothes and jewelry make you feel.  Our experience with brides who have chosen to wear real diamonds on their wedding day is a great example; it feels special to wear real diamond jewelry on your most special of days, and they lend authenticity, as well as glamour and elegance, that carry over into how you feel on the day you exchange “I do’s”.

Even The Weather Couldn’t Stop This Bride From Having Her Dream Wedding

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Sometimes, there’s no getting around it; the weather is just not going to cooperate for your wedding day. For outdoor weddings, a backup plan is a must. But, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the mood you wanted to create for your wedding.  See how Adorn client Jill, and her husband, tied the knot amid a romantic setting shaped by the ambience of candlelight.

Jill and her husband chose to have their wedding and reception at Lake Placid Golf Club. Although the rain did alter their plans somewhat, the one thing that wasn’t affected was the fact that Jill made a beautiful bride!  Jill’s gorgeous dress was a strapless, wrapped gown with a jeweled bustline, and fur wrap to complete the look.

Jill chose Adorn’s Lockwood earrings and Chadwick bracelet to complement her embellished bodice for a perfectly stunning mix of bling and glamour. With her hair in an updo, Jill needed that extra something that our Lockwood earrings could provide in order to add the right amount of sparkle, focal point, and sophistication that was embodied in her choice of gown. In lieu of a necklace that would detract from her dress, Jill opted for our Chadwick bracelet, which makes a great accompaniment to our Lockwood earrings in terms of style, detail, and glamour.

In regards to her experience renting her diamond jewelry from Adorn for her wedding day, Jill had this to say:

“The jewelry was absolutely stunning; even better in person! It looked brand new and was perfectly packaged. The service I received was impeccable. I received the package overnight and returning the items was so simple. I can’t wait to use Adorn again for a future event – love Adorn!” – Jill

Not only did Jill provide continuity throughout her dress and accessories with a little bling, she and her husband enjoyed a wedding cake that included rhinestone flowers and a jeweled ribbon draped around the cake! Now, that’s having your cake and eating it too!

Adorn would like to thank Jill and her photographer, Paul Reynolds of Burlington, Vermont, for sharing these gorgeous pictures with our Adorn clients. We really enjoyed the photos of the couple with umbrellas overhead to show that the weather was not going to prevent this couple from having their dream wedding!

To help them achieve their dream wedding, Jill and her husband chose florist and decorator, David Michael Schmidt, of Renaissance Floral and Design to set the mood. The club’s darker than preferred paneling appeared to create some challenges at first, but the use of color and candlelight helped to overcome these obstacles to create gorgeous table settings and overall atmosphere.  See for yourself by visiting the Renaissance Floral and Design site, and get some ideas for your own wedding.
