Tara Guerard and Kelly Wearstler

Everyone knows that I am a HUGE fan of Kelly Wearstler. She is a native SC girl like me, I’ve been following her career for years, and I love her super funky glam style. Last week while in NY I was scouting at Bergdorf’s and guess who was there?

She was in town supporting the update to her curated boutique there, The World of Kelly Wearstler.  1st Dibs did a great Q&A with her on their blog, which you can see here. Below are some of my favorite pieces from the collection.

Signed chocolates

Chocolate bars

One of the newest additions to the boutique is her collaboration with Compartes Chocolate. Everyone also knows what a huge dark chocolate addict I am. I tried both the Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Salted Pistachio which were both divine. Of course, I had to get to sign the wrappers for me, which are also beautiful. Would be perfect in guest Welcome bags for weddings!

I’m LOVING these plates and tableware collection. Would love to have a bride would want us to use bits and pieces of these for their dinner ware… The kisses are iconic and would be cool for a wedding!!!

I miss my days of being able to get into the studio and toss some pottery, so I’m always drawn to ceramics and pottery pieces when I’m looking at entertaining gear. This gold dish would be fab on an island with fruit, or serving snacks on a bar at a party.

bar accessories

Love these bar accessories, want for my house…The black and white marble look would make a killer gift for a couple since it would appeal to both male and female

There is no question bridal beauty is constantly evolving.  It’s a great idea to seek out experts and photographers alike for their tips on how to look your best in photos… We asked one of our professionals, Leslie Moore of Moore Make Up, for her top 5 favorite products right now and why. Here’s our round up….

1.Charlotte Tilbury- The Ingenue Lip Kit
Love that this is a 1 stop shop for lip perfection on your wedding day. Beautiful pigment that looks picture perfect on most skin tones. Enough color for the photographs, but not overwhelming in person.

2. Urban Decay- Naked Skin Concealers
These are truly weightless concealers, with the perfect consistency. Concealers are the hardest thing to get right, but the most important thing to get right. These brighten up the under eye area without looking cakey! They look seemless!

There are many ways and accessories brides choose to adorn their ‘do’s on their wedding day . I love when we’re able to use live flowers that are being used in the actual wedding. It adds such a lovely and personal touch. I always set several aside so that we’re able to refresh throughout the evening as they wilt or brown. All photos courtesy of Liz Banfield.
