Guest Post: Catherine of Stella & Dot

Hello, everyone! First, let me tell how you honored I am to do a guest post at FiveFootSeven. I’ve been a huge fan of Jenna and her photography for a while now and was so excited when she asked me to collaborate with her.

I work full time for a woman’s college in Virginia, but on the side, I am a Stella & Dot stylist.

I’ve always wanted to open my own business, and studied entrepreneurship in college. I played around with the idea of becoming a Stella & Dot stylist and in January a friend took me on as one of her team members – and I’ve fallen in love! Stella & Dot is such a supportive and inspirational company and it’s so fun to have control over my own little branch of their business. I also love getting to see a bit of “behind the curtains” of what it takes to start – and run – your own business.

Since Jenna works with so many brides (and brides-to-be!) I thought I’d share with y’all some of the top bridal styles for these coming seasons. I gave my bridesmaids Stella & Dot earrings to go with their dresses and there are so many other great ideas of how to spoil those ladies who will work so hard to make your big day even better.

Or look at all these great items – jewelry to use as a great compliment to their dresses without stealing the show.

Mother of the Bride/Groom

Featured: Soho Charm, Birthstone Charms, Oval Grandma Charm

The key to a good present for your Mom and Mother in Law is to blend a quality gift with something sentimental – and affordable for you! So why not build them a custom charm necklace.

There are a variety of chains to choose from, and charms ranging from initials, to birthstones (maybe add one for the month of your wedding), to hearts, to single pearls.

Flower Girl

You want to make sure your flower girl has something beautiful, that she can treasure for years to come, but also simple and age appropriate. These two necklaces are beautiful (and the Interlock Cross Necklace comes in an adult size, too!) And all of the earrings come in sets of three, which gives you a little more bang for your buck, and who doesn’t love that?

Bride

Now the most important part – the bride! Of course, it’s important to balance out your accessories with your dress, but here are some of my favorite choices.

  So, congrats on your big day – and remember! These pieces are affordable, beautiful, and satisfaction is guaranteed! You can shop my next trunk show here and feel free to email me if you have any questions! catherine.gumpman@gmail.com
