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.

Paris Trunk Shows

                                                    Debra working with a bride
                                                    at The Plumed Serpent, Westport, Conn.


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.

NY Bridal Week









 Last week was NY Bridal week and Debra showed her newest collections along with a selection of her most popular styles to all the buyers visiting NY for the fashions.
Everyone loved the new booth format with her specially designed black and silver steamer trunks that open to reveal beautifully outfitted interiors filled with the collections.
A collage of calligraphic lettering featured collection names, new and old decorated the walls.
Thanks to all who visited, it was good to see old friends from all over the world and meet some new ones.
