Last week I spotlighted photographers creative displays of wedding bands. Today I wanted to showcase some stunning detail shots of the brides shoes taken by talented photographers. Enjoy!

I've been in touch with Kim from Sarah-Houston.com and found out that after much success with her maternity line of wedding gowns, Sarah Houston has created a couture line which now includes 25 wedding dresses. Fifteen of which are brand new and just being launched in the US and Europe in Sept/Oct of this year. From her web site: "Sarah's gowns combine timeless romanticism with enduring elegance". The above images are a peek at some of the dresses from the couture collection. You can see more of the dresses at Sarah-Houston.com. Sarah Houston's wedding dresses can be found in stores in the US, Canada, UK and Europe.

Here's the photo of the $100,000 bride from the NJ Wedding Salon - everything she is wearing (dress, veil, headpiece, necklace, earrings, etc) add up to $100,000 retail (dress from Kleinfeld's). Wow! It was amazing to see it in person.

Coming tomorrow will be the photo details from the show . . .

Yesterday I was introduced to Tejani's Bridal Jewelry Collection, the absolutely stunning jewelry collection by head designer Urvi Prunier. Tejani is a contemporary jewelry brand whose style is defined as "glamour and avant-garde with a touch of ethnic heritage". All of the Tejani pieces are hand-crafted by artisans in Mumbai, India.

Along with the Tejani Bridal Jewelry Collection, you will see jewelry for your bridesmaids, a summer collection and even a sale section at www.tejani.com. Tejani offers four seasonal collections each year, with fashion-forward jewelry based on the trends and colors of each season.

There will be a bridal press preview for the new Fall 2008 collection on June 16th and 17th in NYC, but sadly I won't be able to attend and will miss out on seeing the collection in person. So, if anybody is familiar with the Tejani jewelry line or will be attending the preview, I would love to hear your thoughts on the collection.

I just had to share with you some beautiful pieces that would be great bridal accessories or gifts for attendants and/or moms. They can be found at etsy.com. These pieces are so unique. The amount of detail the artists have put into each design is amazing.

Thank you to Holly and her Tear Drop Weddings blog for the introduction to Precious Meshes where you will find hand crocheted wire jewelry. Who knew you could crochet with more than just yarn?

The other artist I stubbled across while looking through etsy.com was Laura of Heart in Hawaii. All items are shipped to be "gift ready" in a hand decorated paper sleeve or box. Her inspiration comes from the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands.
