La Vie En Cherry Blossom (Part 1)

/

There is no more beautiful time of year in Vancouver than the Cherry Blossom Festival, which this year runs April 2-29th! It is the prettiest time of year when the landscape is filled with cotton candy colored puffs that literally make Vancouverites mad with delight! If you don't believe us, you'll have to take a peek at our friend Lele Chan's Instagram account that highlights some of the crazy antics she has witnessed on her street highlighting the lengths people go to to get that perfect photo for the 'gram!

While we haven't gone to those extremes (yet!) we did find away to beat the rain and bring the cherry blossoms indoors with an exquisite floral installation by Dushan Flowers on the cage swing at Prep Beauty Parlour!

We even made a special Vintage Rose version of our Violetta Earring to go with the tulle romper custom designed by Valencienne in Toronto! This earring can actually be customized in any color of the Swarovski Rainbow, just send us an email to inquire!

Elsa Corsi

It could be said that Elsa Corsi was destined to become a jewellery designer. Heralding from a long line of Italian shoemakers turned merchants, it was only natural that she inherit a passionate eye and skill to pursue aesthetic beauty. It was in 2006, to celebrate her own wedding that she came out with a dedicated collection of bridal jewellery. Clients were attracted to the vintage technique mastered in the collection and were thrilled to have their own piece of heirloom jewellery. Her bridal and special occasion jewellery has been sought out by the city’s top stylists and fashion editors for photo shoots and Real Brides wearing Elsa Corsi jewellery are regularly featured online and in print in Real Weddings, Weddingbelles, Grace Ormonde and Wedluxe Magazine.
