Veils & Head Pieces by VeilsbyJules!



This Wedding Wednesday I thought it would be nice to share my newest preferred vendor with you.  I would love to introduce Jules Smerecky of Veils By Jules sharing some great tips and information on selecting your veil or head piece.




SMC: How long has it been since you have been providing Brides with veils and head pieces?
VBJ:  I have been designing veils and headpieces for over 10years. I have only had my website up for about a year.

SMC: What advice would you give a Bride selecting a veil or head piece?
VBJ:  Advice I would give to a bride in selecting her veil or head piece. Don't over power the dress with the veil. If you have a very detailed dress you want something very simple for your veil. If your dress is less detailed you would want a detailed veil. Remember the veil is to compliment the dress.

SMC: What options do you provide for veil/ head pieces? 
VBJ:  Options I provide are endless. Whatever the bride wants. I can do veils with trim w/o trim.   Rhinestones, pearls I like to work with feathers and flowers. Each bride that comes to me always emails me a picture of their dress.

SMC: Special Moments Caribbean offers destination weddings in St. Lucia and it can get pretty hot!  What   advice do you have for Brides considering St. Lucia or other sunny destinations for their choice of veil/ head piece? 
VBJ:  My advice for one having a wedding in a hot destination would be to select something very simple maybe, a feather or flower piece and my favorite would be a birdcage veil or even a hatveil.

SMC:  Do you designing custom headpieces?  
VBJ:  Yes I do! All my veils are designed by me only.
SMC:  How long on average does it take to have a custom head piece made? 
VBJ:  The time it take to design a veil or HP. Depends on the detail. Anywhere from a week to a couple of weeks. Also, depends on how many orders I have. Fall and winter for some reason is my busy time.

SMC:  What kinds of lace and beads do you use in your work? 
VBJ: Materials I use pearls, rhinestones, swarovski gems, feathers, starfish, lots of different trims any and all different kind. I have a very wide trim for Mantilla veils.

SMC: Are there any other services which you provide?
VBJ:  I also design flower girl headpieces, hairpins, bridal combs and tiaras.

SMC: How can clients contact you?
VBJ:  Brides can contact me from my website http://veilsbyjules.com or Like me on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/veilsbyjulescom/137206276343702 or Follow me on Twitter at veilsbyjules.

Inspirational Succulent Wedding

Apart from weddings; plants and flowers are another of our great loves. So of cause, we have been looking forward to setting up a succulent wedding especially as succulents have been getting more popular here in St. Lucia. Finding succulents on a really large scale can be difficult, but the fun and great thing about this is that you can still utilise other flowers and maintain your colour scheme.  Here are some great options we came across and felt inspired by to possibly recreate.  Regardless of your taste, succulents can be incorporated into your ceremony on a small scale or elaborate set up.  Setting up a wedding canopy and incorporating succulents, isle markers and hanging s cube terrariums are all lovely options.   It does not have to start and stop there for your ceremony set up; adding a succulent filled urn at your entrance or hanging chair decorations can compliment any of these ideas. There are so many table centerpiece options ...
