Pinterest isn’t the only thing you should consider pinning. Whether you’re donning a fitted tuxedo, a vintage-inspired gown or princess-like taffeta, tie your look together with a decadent and feminine version of the bow tie. The brooch reminds us of the seamless synchronicity of artistry between haute couture and bridal. Raise your glass to a charming, chic and creative pairing that brings something new to the bridal table, without all the bells and whistles.
