Fall Wedding Fashions

              Welcome to the Meg Jewelry Blog! If you are like me, you probably adore those who dress in seasonal apparel with jewelry to complement the look. Recently, I have noticed a trend towards fall fashions throughout many apparel departments. This brings me to a very important topic: Fall Weddings.
               We have all seen the picturesque appeal of having a fall wedding. Vivid colors mixed with romantic shades of reds, oranges and even yellows. There are infinite ideas that you can bring to such an event, because the color-wheel is screaming from so many sides! If you would like to pull off that chic, fall wedding event that you have always dreamed of, try to incorporate a few of our suggestions.
                When selecting a gown for your event, we love to suggest that you either be creative with your gown choice, or that you utilize it as a blank canvas. For the perfect fall look, try a simple gown that lies within the "white" or "tan" family. This will allow you multiple opportunities when selecting accessories.

              In order to continue our fall look, it is crucial to select jewelry that has "fall" appeal. You are probably wondering what type of appeal fall has, but there are so many different choices! The first type of choice is one that resembles a leaf structure. Despite sounding very oblique, these are actually quite common. Filigrees are most often utilized for this type of appeal and it is very easy to select your own style as they are found within nearly every style of necklace.
              Earrings are also very crucial as they help to complement the entire look. Be sure to select a pair that will tie together the entire fall look. If you would like to showcase a particular shape or pattern, be creative and think outside the box! You can also try utilizing fall colors to complete your look. This is a great way to stand out and make a statement! Our favorite choice for this type of appeal is the Meg Jewelry Cleopatra Necklace and Earrings.

              Our final suggestion is to have fun! Despite the traditional push across so many weddings, we love to see "statement" weddings! Ones that incorporate multiple new and innovative ideas. A wedding is such a beautiful and personal event, so have fun and make it your own! If you have any jewelry or customization needs, please contact the Meg Jewelry team at (563)-252-1011.

Trunk Show Schedule

               Welcome to the Meg Jewelry blog on this fabulous Monday afternoon. Recently, Meg Jewelry has held numerous trunk shows across the United States. This has prompted the team to create a preliminary line-up for the upcoming months. Trunk shows provide great excitement for bride-to-be's, Mothers of brides, family members and friends. If you haven't been to a Meg Jewelry Trunk Show, I would strongly advise visiting one to see what the excitement is all about. 

                 Given the recent back-to-back scheduling of trunk shows and introduction of our upcoming 2012 line, Meg Jewelry has decided to void all trunk shows during the 2011 month of September. Trunk shows will resume in the month of October with a wonderful welcome by Kleinfeld Bridal on Oct. 7th and 8th. If you would like to schedule an appointment or view our jewelry during this time, please contact Kleinfeld Bridal at 646-633-4300 or visit them on the web at: www.kleinfeldbridal.com. 

                 Following our Kleinfeld Bridal trunk show, we will be visiting the fabulous city of St. Louis, MO. Meg Jewelry will be hosting a trunk show at Simply Elegant Bridal on October 14th and 15th. This beautiful boutique was established in 2004 and features some magnificent architectural details. The selection is also incredible with bridal dresses by Bellissima, Casa Blanca, Enzoani and many more. To learn more about this trunk show or to schedule an appointment, please contact Simply Elegant Bridal at 314-241-8201 or visit them on the web at: www.simplyelegantbridalstl.com. 

                 Meg Jewelry will be wrapping up the October trunk shows with a final visit at September's Bride in Holland, MI on the 21st and 22nd.  If you've never visited Holland, MI, you have to visit our trunkshow. September's Bride is an upscale boutique that is lakeshore and they carry a tremendous amount of beautiful gowns by Lila Couture, Casablanca, Maggie Sottero, Justin Alexander, Angelina Couture, Stephanie James Couture and Winnie Couture Destinations. If you would like to visit our trunkshow, please contact September's Bride at: (616)-355-1433 or visit them on the web at: http://www.septembersbride.com/index.html. 

                     Meg Jewelry will also be hosting two trunk shows during the month of November. The first scheduled trunk show is going to be in the beautiful town of Hershey, PA. We will be visiting Cocoa Couture on the 4th and 5th. If you would like to join in on the excitement, please contact Cocoa Couture at: (717)-533-3323 or visit them on the web at: www.cocoacoutureonline.com. 

                     Our second and final stop in November is at Marah's Elegant Bridal in Mt. Horeb, WI on the 11th and 12th. To learn more about this trunk show or to schedule an appointment, please call the fabulous ladies of Marah's Elegant Bridal at: (608)-437-6107. 

                      Schedules are always subject to change, so please contact the Meg Jewelry team ((563)-252-1011) or an above boutique to learn more information about the scheduling.

Gold's Betrayal

              Welcome to the Meg Jewelry blog on this beautiful Tuesday evening! Tonight is a blog post that has been prepared from some of my daily thoughts. As I was working with Kleinfeld Bridal this afternoon, I had many brides that were looking for that perfect wedding-day jewelry piece. Of course these pieces vary between each bride, but there seems to be a constant battle between colors, accents and metals. If you are like one of us, you have probably been watching the stock market with a not so keen eye. Gold prices have recently sky-rocketed, with a high of just over 1,800 dollars an ounce. This price is absolutely astonishing if you have followed the market over the last few years. Given the volatility in the market, many brides have found themselves struggling with finding a gold piece without actually utilizing the price of gold. This struggle brought me great inspiration, which is what I would love to write about this evening.
             Meg Jewelry has and continues to use gold in our jewelry lines, but the appeal has fallen over the previous years as silver has nearly taken over the jewelry market. If you are in love with gold, but would love an affordable piece of jewelry, try using some of our tips to get the same appeal.
              1. Despite the cost of gold, you can still purchase very affordable gold jewelry by selecting pieces that minimize how much gold is being used. Meg Jewelry has some outstanding pieces that utilize this very affordable tip, but we have also taken the honor of creating pieces that use gold sprayed filigrees. Below is Meg Jewelry's Britt Earrings that will give you the beautiful appeal of gold without the price.

           2. Our next tip is simple and very effective. Gold is a precious metal, but the appeal is simply within the color. For some of us, the outstanding price is also part of the appeal but the majority of it is directly within the sensational color that sparkles so vividly. If you would like to take advantage of this tip, try out our beautiful Saba Earrings that you will instantly fall in love with! (Pictured Below: Meg Jewelry Saba Earrings)

         
           3. Our next tip is also very simple. Instead of spending a fortune on gold, try purchasing some major bling that will result in the same "wow factor." We have several pieces from simple to extravagant that will give you gold appeal at a fraction of the cost.

            Our next necklace is show-stopping to say the least! Our Penney Necklace has gained rapid attention with a mixture of freshwater pearls, sterling silver filigrees and Swarovski crystals. Don't be fooled by the bold appeal of Penney, her softness is easily found as she hugs your neck with pearls and flower shaped silver accents!
