Opposites Attract in Baltimore Bridal Fashion Feature

A Collaboration of Opposites

Recently, we teamed up with an all-star team of Baltimore wedding designers and vendors. This styled photo session proves that opposites really do attract!
(And we’re especially proud to share that Tacari Weddings recently published it!)

As you’re scrolling through these images, if you can peel your eyes away from our Crown of Ice hair comb, pay attention to the fun and intriguing play on opposites.

Opposites like…

Hard and Soft

Bright and Dark

Urban and Botanical

Heavy and Light

We love the way our Crown of Ice crystal spike hair comb glows in the natural light.  We think it’s the perfect hard and edgy compliment to the bride’s soft, natural curls.

We’re also loving this non-traditional gown by Baltimore designer, The Lotus Bloom Co.

It’s giving us all the badass, do-your-own-thing and own-it vibes.  And, we are here for it!

Nature plays a big, inspiring role here at J’Adorn.

So, we’re obsessed with these botanicals.

We’re loving the greens; and the geometric displays are everything.  The play on opposites here makes for an intriguing, appealing and – dare we say – SHOW STOPPING photograph!

Clean lines, lush details, a killer backdrop and who-needs-a-filter-anyway natural lighting.
 What more could you want?!

Oh, a stunning hairpiece to top it all off?

Well, you KNOW we’ve got that!

Customized Coral Earrings for Sensitive Ears

The Beautiful Benefits of Custom

Here at J’Adorn, we have always prided ourselves on bringing our clients pieces they are going to love and treasure for a LONG time.  Custom jewelry is just one of the ways we’re doing that.

Designer Ali loves the creative process, and she knows that sometimes, certain clients have specific wants or needs.  And that kind of custom work is where the fun of collaboration and problem solving come into play.

At every pop-up show or market we attend, Ali always has her sketchbook in tow for on-the-spot custom jewelry consultations.  

Recently, at the Rehoboth Art League’s Outdoor Fine Art & Craft Show, Ali sketched out THREE different custom orders.  And we’re featuring the first one here on the blog today!

Its inspiration was our Coral Branch Earrings from the New Bloom Collection.

During the show, a customer fell in love with our original Coral Branch Earrings and just had to have this look in her jewelry collection.  

BUT, due to stretched earlobes and sensitive ears, these showstoppers just weren’t comfortable for her to wear.

Our Solution: Shorten the already-lightweight earrings and use posts instead of lever-back earrings

We kept the branch design, intricate wire work and coral gemstones from the original design.  So, the overall aesthetic is the same.  But this modified pair will keep their new owner happily ear-ache free whenever she wears them!

And, as we start to transition into autumn, we’re hoping our new custom client loves wearing her “Pumpkin Spice Earrings” with scarves and sweaters, too!
