WHITE OWL by spivak & spivak

I did promise to post more jewelry. So here I go. 
In Poland it has been quite a trend in the past few years to use nontraditional bridal jewelry. I do see quite often brides use lace necklace to complete their look. I haven't seen any daring brides in here use anything similar yet. I do think that it is pretty cool and I am assuming it would be much cheaper than using pearls or diamonds. 
I found on Etsy White Owl designs, which are very similar to the ones worn in Europe. I think they are beautiful and very intricate. Check out their entire collection you just might something that you have been looking for.

breath taking outdoor shoot. I am a huge fan of his work.

List of Polish Wedding Songs

I've been trying to create a pretty good list of Polish songs for weddings but it is not easy. There are specific styles of music and different generations that simply enjoy dancing and listening to different things. I tried to include some timeless hits and some newer singles that came out recently. It should be a  pretty good mix of everything. Hopefully, some of you can pick out at least few songs out of these and include them somehow into your wedding. Have fun listening!

I will try to translate the titles for you as best as I can. 

Brathanki - Siebie Dam po Slubie. (I will give myself after the wedding)
Piot Rubik - Most dwojga serc. (Bridge of two hearts)
Feel - Jak Aniola Glos (Like an angel's voice)

Luscious Thing

I decided that so far, I never really focused on jewelry. As far as I remember finding right jewelry was one of the most difficult parts of completing my fashion look as a bride. I couldn't find anything that would fit my gown, that would be unique and in a pretty decant price range. Simply, I had a really hard time finding anything original. So once a while, I will be posting some new ideas as far as bridal jewelry. Hopefully you will see something that will inspire you. Today, let me start by posting some beautiful vintage couture by Luctious Thing. Go see her Etsy portfolio to see jewelry in variety of colors and shapes. I am loving it. I think that look is extremely romantic. With a right kind of gown, you can totally pull off an amazing vintage look. Do we have any vintage inspired brides?
