Frank and Michelle's Wedding

Debra had the pleasure of styling this beautiful bride and her bridesmaids at a trunk show at the Plumed Serpent. Her pictures tell a beautiful story, in which--she clearly LOVES her PARIS accessories. She gracefully wore, our leather "Peacock Alley" pins and slide in her hair, our "White Diamonds" bracelet, "Pattycake" earrings, and "Dream a Dream" painted veil.

Pictured is our "Divine Sinner" birdcage veil and "La Dolce Vita" bracelet. Blaylock wears them well with this fun Amsale gown.

Fun little tiaras

Both editorials from "Brides," these pieces illustrate the impact of the small tiara. You can wear it elegantly or just for a night out.

Moulin Rouge Choker

Still beautiful from many seasons ago, our "Moulin Rouge" choker. Anyone remember "Thomas Crowne Affair" choker? That is a half-version of this one. Such timeless pieces. Also pictured, our "Last Midnight" veil.

Painted Veil

Our painted veils are becoming ever popular. Here is a real bride wearing out beautiful "Mayfair" painted veil. Such an amazing shot. I'm not sure it could look better!

Editorial

This beautiful wrap, "Sailor's Hornpipe," was featured in a BRIDES magazine editorial recently. This is a truly versatile piece that can be worn very elegantly (shown above) or used as a wrap for a beach wedding. Love this shot and piece!

Market

 

 Thank you for a great market! Everyone loved our booth's painted curtains and so many people asked if we sell them, which was unexpected (we do sell our painted veils that are quite similar). On the subject of veiling, there was such a strong reaction to our new veiling collection this season. Our best selling earrings were "Shining Hour," which is pictured below.

Wishing Vine" in beautiful spring colors. Great in blond hair.

This bride chose our "Tigerlily" barefoot sandal, an excellent alternative to shoes!

An interview about the upcoming Market

As Debra prepares for this upcoming market, she reflects on her career as a jewelry designer. She still does a few of the company's trunk shows and admits that it helps her create each season because she's out there, listening to what's needed, working with dress designers, and catering to the needs of her individual retailers.

Nearly 25 years in business, Debra has honed her design ethic to five categories: enamel, crystal, pearl, leather, and fabric. "My own personal style influences a lot of what I do, but it's never crazy or random--many ideas come from working with actual brides."

Debra enjoys the smaller market in the Spring because, "there's so much inspiration at this time, especially at my home. My viburnum bush is blooming and the fruit trees on my estate are covered with little white flowers that look like enamel (wink)."

Her estate is appropriately named "Valley View" because it has beautiful foliage surrounding the house with a large swooping valley behind it. "When the bluebells come up and cover the hillside it is a site to behold. I think many people are invigorated by spring."

Other inspiration of note, Debra concedes, is from Merchant-Ivory productions and British period drama. Her entire fall 2008 collection based on Sweeney Todd!

Let me say, look for "Cuckoo's Call" at market--it's to die for!

Hart of Dixie Veil

Paris by Debra Moreland's pieces will be used on Hart of Dixie this week and next. We sent them a bunch of things and they used them all! We are anxiously awaiting to see how they'll be used to accessorize the leads of the show. We know for sure that our fabulous hand-painted "Sweetheart Veil" will used.

Market sneak peak...

Debra has been working on a number of fabulous new things for market--and here's a sneak peak of the new "Glad Tidings" belt! It could easily accessorize a variety of dress styles. We love it so much!

Stunning combinations

This past weekend at a trunk show, Debra was able to have a few shots snapped of some excellent combinations for hair up, down or (the ever popular) half-up-half-down! The shot above shows a bride donning our jeweled, leather "Peacock Alley" combs.





This bride chose the "Fountainhead" hairpins and truly beautiful "Glad Tidings" necklace.

Above, once again from our leather collection, the "Peacock Alley" hairpins, with one "Peacock Alley" comb. I'm not sure if a better match for her dress exists!

Introducing...

Our new veil color--blush! So many of the popular dresses today are this blush color. We have had so many requests about this color, so--here it is!

As you can see, it would beautifully compliment this Lazaro gown (top) or Monique Lhullier's "Candy."

Tonight Belt

Debra is all about the versatility of her pieces and a belt is a terrific and easy way to accessorize a dress. Our amazing Tonight belt is the perfect width for any dress, and easy to work with because it's fitted. This couture piece adds texture and shine that can be worn either alone or, as shown in the photographs, with a variety of brooches. Enamel, pearl, or chunky sparkle adds the perfect accent to her big day!
