Bridal Hairstyles

Smart Set Brooch tucked into a low bun

Whenever Debra works with brides at her trunk shows she always begins by discussing what the brides is thinking for her wedding hair styles.  She will then pin their hair up in a quick "sketch", this allows them to determine what hair accessories are best suited for the bride's style and occasion.  Very often this will be the bride's choice for her wedding hair styles and she will take pictures for her hairstylist to duplicate.
Once the style is established Debra proceeds with suggesting just the perfect hair accessories and bridal veils to complete the look.


Whether it is a beautiful Paris Tiaras or a few simple hairpins, Debra has designed every kind of beautiful jewelry for the hair.

Debra enjoys traveling the country (and the world) meeting brides at Paris Accessories Trunk Shows.  It gives her an opportunity to meet all the beautiful brides in their beautiful dresses and share with them her love of fashion and accessories.  It gives the brides the chance to work with a professional stylist and to get her free advice on how to create their own special look for their special day.  After asking a few interesting question Debra is able to get an understanding of the bride's tastes and personality and pertinent interesting facts about the event.
Using an expanded collection of Paris jewelry and Paris Accessories that travels with her, Debra is able to help the bride, and often times her mother, select the perfect compliments to their dresses.  It also allows them the opportunity to create custom jewelry, all made by the talented American artisans at the Paris studios in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Watch for a Paris Accessory Trunk Show and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
Debra looks forward to meeting you all!

Hand Painted Veils

"Rosemary Lane"

Debra has been creating hand painted veiling for quite some time and they are stunning accents to the right dress.

Her newest are "Rosemary Lane" and "Scarborough Fare" and are the first of the painted veils to be signed by Debra.

Hidden in the designs for these veils are two signatures, Debra's and the artist that recreates the design.

Like all of Paris accessories these veils are sure to become treasured heirlooms.

Smart Set

Debra's Smart Set brooches have been a favorite with brides and moms either as ornaments in the hair, on sashes or bags.  She has just introduced several new pieces to the collection that have the same modern sparkle, including a statement necklace, bracelet and coordinating earrings. The chunky arrangement of crystals has a real Hollywood Glamour feel and are perfect for that bride that wants to make a red carpet entrance.

The coordinating Shining Hour earrings are the perfect size drop to compliment or alone to add just the right bit of sparkle.

The Smart Set bracelet stands alone as a statement bracelet.

Debra's New Collections

Debra introduced several new collections at the International Bridal Market in New York last month and all were very well received.  The favorite seemed to be the "La Dolce Vita" collection which was inspired by her "La Dolce Vita" earrings, everyone's favorite earrings.

The enameled filagree flowers encrusted with tiny crystals are both magical and modern, especially when done in large scale like the headband and necklace.

Is Kate wearing Debra's "Tonight Belt?

We had to look twice at HRH The Dutchess of Cambridge in her reception dress, her belt is so much like Debra's very popular "Tonight" belt.

The plain fitted belt of silver and crystals is very often the perfect accent and this example proves it. 

Debra often pairs it with her "Pearl Harbor" brooch as an accent.

Understated elegance is always in style.


What do you think??

The Royal Wedding

With the Royal Wedding just days away we at Paris along with the rest of the fashion world are anxious to see which tiara Kate will choose to wear down the aisle.  Traditionally Queen Elizabeth II gives the bride her tiara as a wedding gift, but the tiara which Kate is given may not necessarily be the one she wears down the aisle.  According to all the experts and educated guesses here are the frontrunners for Kate's big day...

The "Cambridge Lover's Knot" is a favorite as it is expected that the Queen will bestow the title of "Duke of Cambridge" upon her grandson.  The fact that this was given by the Queen to his mother Diana and she wore it often, there may be some protocol issues with this beautiful and historic piece

Another favorite included in the short list is the "Fringe" tiara worn by Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day.  Because she has worn this many times and continues to wear it, this may not be considered if the Queen decides to wear this herself.

The Dehli Dunbar is a remarkably beautiful and historic piece.  It's large size may make it a bit too overpowering and less fashionable than the others.

The tiara leading in the media's poll is the "Girls of Great Britian and Ireland".  A gift to Queen Elizabeth from her grandmother Queen Mary, this piece is know for it's great beauty and ties to the royal family.

While Kate has an enormous collection of beautiful royal jewels from which to choose, most brides do not have access to these historic pieces.  Even without the family collection brides can still have beautiful accessories for a royal look.  Debra's headpieces and accessories have been setting the standard for beauty for over twenty years, begin your family heirloom collection with your own Paris tiara!

Your Bridal Hairstyle--Half Up-Half Down

You've got the perfect guy, the perfect dress, the perfect shoes, now you need the perfect hairstyle.

Always consider your face shape and the neckline of your dress when you are thinking of the best way to wear your hair.

Here's a good lesson on a classic up/down look. One important thing is to add a bit of lift at the crown as show here, it adds shape and elegance. This look allows for a variety of hair accessory and veiling options, an ornament tucked to the side looks great or a set of hairpins.
