Made in Maryland Beach Wedding Inspiration

Homegrown & Local Maryland Makers brought this Beach Wedding editorial to life

Marylanders seem to live for summer days at the beach, so it’s no wonder that so many Maryland Brides pull from that inspiration to create their perfect wedding.  And, we were lucky enough to be a part of a team of 100% local vendors who created this styled shoot to get you ready for wedding season in Maryland!

For this casual and playful affair, the bride is styled in TWO different looks (which means she got to enjoy TWO different pairs of J’Adorn Designs earrings to compliment her styles).  She’s also adorned with one of our handmade hair combs!

Waterfront Maryland weddings are a stunning way to capture the natural beauty and laid back ease of the ocean (or bay).  And, the same can be said for this couple!  

To enhance and play off of the natural vibes of the venue, above, we styled the bride in our Pretty Vine Earrings.

She glows in this look.  And the earrings pop against her relaxed half-up hairstyle, adding just the right amount of elegance.

For the second bridal look, we chose an earring that is a bit more structured.  Our Sprout & Pearl Earrings in gold offer a slightly more polished, less bohemian look.  However, like so much of our jewelry, they are inspired by nature.

We really can’t choose which look is our favorite.  So, we’re not going to!

We’re just going to bask in the joy of this couple.

In true Maryland fashion, a signature wedding cocktail infused with Sagamore Rye is a MUST.  If you’re a fan of Moscow Mules, be sure to give this Maryland Mule a try.  Just ask the bartender at your favorite waterfront spot this summer!  Cheers!

How beautifully delicate is the back of this dress?!?

Sets off our Modern Geometric Crystal Haircomb quite nicely, doesn’t it?  Haircombs are a perfect way to add a touch of sparkle to an understated wedding hair look.

And, they make great heirloom keepsakes.  They are the perfect piece to pull our each year for your anniversary date so that you can keep the memory of your wedding day fresh.

Above or Below?  Which earring is more YOUR style?!  Tell us in the comments!

Personally, we don’t think there’s a wrong answer!  But, variety is the spice of life.  Isn’t it great to have options!?

The beautiful thing about a Maryland waterfront wedding is that the backdrop is always stunning.  And, you don’t need to add much to it!

We just can’t get over this couple’s HAPPY!  (And that blue suit is pretty spot-on, too!)

Our (second) favorite thing in this flat-lay photo are the Maryland themed stamps!  Those little details make all the difference, don’t you think?

*Our MOST favorite thing is the Haircomb*

Maryland in the spring, stunning skyline, happy couple, heirloom quality jewelry… what more could you ask for?

Oh yeah, a whole mouthful of cake!  Yum!

Best Fashion & Jewelry Collaborations of 2018

This season has us reflecting on the past year.  And, what a great year its been!  We had so many opportunities to collaborate with other local creatives.
Scroll on for a look back at five of our very favorite editorial collaborations from 2018 with a style tip to take away from each one!

(also, be sure to follow the links to get to the full-posts of any of these glimpses that catch your eye!)


1. Modern Much Ado About Nothing

This editorial shoot was like something right out of a (midsummer night’s) dream.  And we never wanted to wake up from it!

The style elements for this look centered on the marriage of vintage and modern. Our jewelry added lovely flourishes of botanical and feminine details amidst an industrial setting.

Initially, Photographer Katherine Callahan dreamed up this Modern Much Ado About Nothing wedding style idea after she rescued a beautiful edition of Shakespeare’s works from a garage sale. (And we’ve got a beautiful photo of the book in our original post.)

Inspired by the juxtaposition of elements from this shoot, our Style Tip Takeaway is:

Add delicate botanical details to soften a harder industrial setting


2. Rose Gold & Baby Goats

This was quite possibly our CUTEST collaboration of 2018.

The style elements for this bridal style emphasized the warmest tones, crowned by the bride’s red hair and rose gold accessories. And the soft pink and white color palette was the perfect accent. (But did you even notice it next to the baby goats?)

We learned in 2018 that ROSE GOLD is here to stay.
What may have started as a trend is now firmly planted in our hearts.  And this year, we were thrilled to add the warm metal color to our selection of hair adornments.
Our rose gold hairpin with freshwater pearls and paper millinery flower was quintessential to this look!

This collaboration was featured earlier this year on the Annapolis Wedding Blog.  Of course, we felt very honored to be in the mix of local vendors and artisans… and baby goats!
Inspired by the warmth and pure JOY of this collaboration, our Style Tip Takeaway is:

Accent your complexion with your accessories!

(*no goats were harmed in the making of this editorial… just snuggled a whole bunch!)

3. A Very Baltimore Bachelorette Party

Featured by Baltimore Bride, this bachelorette party collaboration showcases the best of 2018’s fashion trends in a love letter to the city of Baltimore.

The style elements for this collaboration centered on a youthful exploration of Baltimore. The bridal party chose jumpers over dresses for their traipsing about the city – a practical choice for summer on the Chesapeake Bay.

However, one of our favorite (& most unique) features of this collaboration is that they used our (custom made) Pink Druzy Ring as an alternative to the traditional diamond engagement ring.

Bright colors, playful styles and ALL THE ROMPERS!  This feature is definitely one for all you fashion lovers.  If you need a winter dose of summer style, be sure to check out our original post for all the stunning shots.

Inspired by the fun, laughter and CONFIDENCE this collaboration exuded, our Style Tip Takeaway is:

The bride doesn’t have to wear white to stand out at her bachelorette party (…and also, #rompers4lyfe)


4. Springtime Bridal Style Among the Cherry Blossoms

We’ve mentioned that in 2018 we saw a growing demand for hair adornments (a trend we don’t see fading away any time soon), and the delicate floral focus of this collaboration called for our Dusty Blue and Opal Bridal Headpiece.

It’s no surprise that the style elements for this look centered on the early spring bloom of the cherry blossoms in our native state of Maryland. From the bride’s floral inspired accessories to the botanical lace of her dusty blue wedding dress, it’s all about the flowers! 

Certainly, when floral elements take center stage, there’s no need to over-style.  We love how the little details enhance the natural beauty captured by these photos.

These pastels and petals have us swooning as we eagerly await Spring’s return.

Keep an eye out for hair adornments to make a big impact in 2019 (and beyond).  And, mark our words, this won’t just be bridal trend!
Inspired by the soft and delicate features of this collaboration, our Style Tip Takeaway is:

Take advantage of your hair vine’s flexibility to help it stand out (and up) from your thick hair


5. Boho Bachelorette Party

Finally, it may be the middle of winter, but we’re all about the warm look of this styled boho bachelorette party! It was featured on The Mid-Atlantic Bride.

Laid back and easy, this glamping inspired editorial made us want to pitch a tent, kick off our shoes and relax.  Also, we LOVED the Blue Photo Bus.  We’ll take one for our next bash, please!

In this style feature, our nature-inspired jewelry enhances the hippie chic style.  Skip on over to the original post for close ups on all the colorful gemstone goodness.

Inspired by the relaxed elegance of this collaboration, our Style Tip Takeaway is:

Even a casual weekend getaway to nature can be stylish. Also, jewelry makes the BEST bridesmaids’ gift!


So, that’s our 2018 Featured Collaborations Roundup!

We are looking back on this year with the warmest memories and looking forward to 2019 with aspirations for beauty and joy… and HAIR ADORNMENTS!

You know that’s our prediction for 2019 style.

What are yours?  What would you like to see in the Jewelry Shop to style your new year?

Botanical Jewelry for Modern Shakespeare Inspired Wedding

Today we are sharing our favorite photos from a recent Shakespeare inspired bridal photo session.

Many of Shakespeare’s most iconic scenes take place in gardens and forests (enchanted or otherwise). So, our botanical jewelry collection really sets the stage!

Photographer Katherine Callahan dreamed up this Modern Much Ado About Nothing wedding style idea after she rescued a beautiful edition of Shakespeare’s works from a garage sale.  Initially, she was drawn to the collection’s stunning cover art.

(keep reading, we’ve got a gorgeous photo of the book a little further down)

Then, upon opening the book she became bewitched by the handwritten notes inside from the original owner, who lived during the 1800s!

When Katherine pitched us her vision for this style bridal editorial, we jumped at the chance to collaborate!

And while we’re big Shakespeare fans here at J’Adorn Designs, we think our botanical jewelry pieces take center stage.

Our much loved Modern Geometric Crystal Hair Comb is especially perfect for this look.  That hair piece shines with botanical whimsy!

Altogether, Katherine’s MODERN vision for this Shakespeare inspired styled shoot is a captivating one.  We appreciate how she dreamed up all the romance and depth of Shakespeare without letting it slip into a Renaissance Faire vibe.

So, the resulting look is whimsical while still being sophisticated.

Our one-of-a-kind Vintage Crystal Leaf Earrings add just the right touch of sparkle while carrying that natural, organic vibe with their clustered shape.

Because our silver Vine and Pearl Ring is feminine and delicate, it makes the perfect custom engagement ring for this feature. Currently, this ring is not listed in our shop.  However, if it’s put a spell on you, please contact us!

(see… this beautiful Shakespeare collectors’ volume is totally worth scrolling for!)

Below, you’ll find the bride wearing our Silver Leaves and Crystal Pendant Necklace.  It is beautifully framed by the gown’s neckline and compliments its beaded detail without upstaging the overall look.

Rose Gold Bridal Accessories & Baby Goats!

What do rose gold bridal accessories and baby goats have in common? 

They both steal the show in this bridal style feature!

We collaborated with a great team of Maryland wedding vendors to create this warm, romantic styled photo session.

The Annapolis Wedding Blog recently published this editorial on their website, so today we’re sharing some of our favorite pictures!

We adore the way Leah’s red hair looks with the warm tones in her rose gold bridal accessories.
It’s a look that we’ve just can’t get enough of!

And we think the botanical elements of her wedding gown pair perfectly with the little sprouts featured in her earrings & floral hairpin.
Here’s a closer look at that handcrafted rose gold hairpin:

And now for the real reason you decided to read this far into the post…

… the BABY GOAT!

Seriously, how cute is this little guy!?

Besides being adorable, the baby goat adds to the whimsical natural style of these photos. Sure, it would still be beautiful without the little goat. But why would you ever pass on that little face? We certainly don’t know!
