Recently, DLD and several artists orchestrated a photo shoot with about 20 models. The collaboration included many hours of planning and a full day of make-up, hair and styling. The artists included Abbie Cooke (photography), Whitney Melton (model styling), Catherine Brockway (hair), Jaime Jones and Mimi Michelle (make-up) and overall coordination by Freida Bailey. The project was quite a success! Please check out the photos below.

Custom Bridal Jewelry!
Recently, I had the opportunity to create jewelry for a client's bridesmaids. The bride wanted every bridesmaid to have a unique piece that complemented the wearer's individual style. We discussed different options and she settled on chunky, all-black beaded necklaces so everything matched color-wise. Custom orders can take from 2-3 weeks. Many more colors and styles are available that are not featured on the website. If interested in custom jewelry, please email me at danaleblancdesigns@gmail.com.

Candyland!
DLD jewelry is most commonly described as "candy-like". Bright pinks, purples, greens reds, and other colors that are reminiscent of candy. The necklace below is appropriately named Rock Candy. Rock Candy looks delicious enough to eat, but I wouldn't advise it. ;)

The Blonde Factory
Caroline Baxley, a friend of mine, is the mastermind behind The Blonde Factory. Her clothing and my jewelry were featured in a fashion show in Winston Salem over the weekend. Her style draws inspiration from the past, such as shift dresses from the Sixties. She uses lots of vintage and textured fabrics and lots of detailing, such as ruffles and rhinestone brooches. I am a huge fan and hope you will be too. Her blog is http://www.theblondefactory.blogspot.com/. Stay tuned...pictures from the fashion show will be posted soon.

Wedding Season!
Wedding season is getting close and I have been getting a lot of requests for wedding jewelry. I have worked with many brides to create jewelry for themselves and/or their bridesmaids. It is an exciting time for the bride and it is fun to work out options with her. Generally, I have made the same design for each bridesmaid to create a cohesive look when they were wearing different style dresses. However, I have also made necklaces with different designs (and same colors) to compliment the style of the wearer.
