Colourful jewelry is having a moment right now

]

I’ll admit it: The contents of my jewelry box is a single-note sea of metal. And it’s no wonder — with the dainty jewelry trend raging on, we’re all well-stocked in the gold and silver realms. Luckily, there’s a new take shaking things up. Colourful jewelry, by way of resin, enamel, lucite and sparkly, coloured gems, feels undeniably modern, even if you’re a neutral palette devotee. Read on for our crop of Canadian-designed pieces to inspire you to build out that jewelry collection in colour.

Mejuri earrings, $100, mejuri.com

Solid gold hoops are never going out of style, but this brilliant green resin pair, prime for executing a head-to-toe monochromatic look, is making the case for its own enduring quality.

Myel bracelet, $300, myeldesign.com

Like something you’d collect at summer camp, just upgraded with freshwater pearls and coloured beads. It’s got that cool, can’t-be-replicated insouciance.

Wolf Circus ring, $190, wolfcircus.com

When we think about the ideal ring stack, a chunky, statement band is essential. Why couldn’t it be this one, adorned with a checkerboard pattern in a subtle mossy green?

Ora-C earrings, $256, simons.ca

Inspired by the Renaissance, these one-of-a-kind earrings from Montreal designer Caroline Pham feature hand-sculpted brass bows adorned with a large carnelian cabochon and a baroque freshwater pearl. Exquisite!

Par Ici bracelet, $249, paricijewellery.com

Made with vintage glass charms evocative of glossy, hard candies, this bracelet is all early-2000s nostalgia made for today.

Poppy Finch ring, $1,500, poppyfinch.com

A statement ring, an everyday ring and yes, even an engagement ring: This juicy, emerald-cut aquamarine, placed on a diamond-dotted band, really does it all.

Wasted effort earrings, $95, wastedeffort.ca

Remember Rockets? These drop earrings, designed with alternating translucent and opaque lucite, are stacked like the powdery confections of our youth.

Corey Moranis bracelet, $130, coreymoranis.com

We’d be remiss to round up the best tinted gems without mentioning revered lucite designer Corey Moranis.

Melanie Auld pendant, $105 (chain sold separately), melanieauld.ca

Known as the growth stone, citrine is said to cultivate confidence and energy. (Who couldn’t use more of that, right?) It’s also the most gorgeous shade of marigold.

Jenny Bird earrings, $110, nordstrom.ca

This one’s for the colour shy. Just a sliver of azure blue — hidden by the curve of high-polish hoops — is totally low commitment.

An Intimate Summer Wedding in a Friend’s Backyard in Yorba Linda, California

]

Fresh out of college in 2014, Jessica Kim and Issac Park met serendipitously at an arcade bar in the Arts District in Downtown LA. Jessica bumped into an old friend Erica, who introduced her to her UCLA friends. Jessica says, “To be honest, I only really remember meeting Isaac that night. He had kind eyes that twinkled and a warm smile that immediately caught my attention.'' Call it love at first sight, but six years later, they could call each other husband and wife.

In July 2020, Isaac popped the question against the scenic backdrop of Malibu beach on the edge of a small cliff. “I’ve always dreamed of proposing to Jessie by the beach as it has always been a special place in our relationship,” Issac explains. “We often went on night drives by the coast, stepped out onto the sand, and picnicked under the stars.”

The couple started searching for venues for their special day during the height of the pandemic. So, finding the perfect spot was especially difficult, given that social distancing rules were in flux. After a few weeks of unsuccessful and stressful searches, things finally started to look up. Jessie says, “Luckily, an angel must have heard our prayers as Isaac’s close family friend generously offered their gorgeous backyard for our wedding. At first, we weren’t sure how to feel about this, but all our nerves settled as soon as we visited their beautiful home. Their backyard was spacious, lush, and had a beautiful golden hour view of the valley.”

In the presence of family and friends, the Californian couple got married on June 26, 2021. They took advantage of the state’s relaxing Covid restrictions and bumped the guest list to 70 people. Jessie says, “I envisioned an intimate summer garden party with lots of beautiful flowers, delicious food, and yummy cocktails."

Read on to get all the details of the lavish floral backyard ceremony and reception, as planned by Providence and Planning and photographed by Etcetera Photography.

Providence and Planning sent out the simple yet elegant invitations. Being true coffee aficionados, the couple worked with Senay Ceramics to get custom-labeled espresso cups which they used as name tags.

Jessie received royal treatment at Mon Amie Bridal Salon when designer Erin Cole attended her fitting and personally worked on the dress. Beautifully decked out in beaded lace, the A-line gown had a corset bodice and slip-on arm cuffs. Because she loves to dance, she ensured that the dress was easy to move in. “It felt classic but still a little sexy,” shares Jessie. “I felt like a princess in it.” The bride’s attire was topped off with a Cathedral veil with matching lace and beading detail.

For her beauty look, Jessie wanted to go for a “naturally flawless” style, which she jokes was an “oxymoron.” “Theresa from Kohnur did an amazing job at it,” notes the bride. “That airbrush was life-saving as I only got a few hours of sleep the night before and definitely needed that extra coverage under my eyes!”

As for her wedding hairstyle? “For the ceremony, I had my hair up with side braids and soft twists. It looked so elegant,” she says. “For the reception, I literally ‘let my hair down’ for a more casual half-up, half-down look. I was ready to party!”

Milieu Florals provided the flowers, topless arch, and toss petals for the day. They designed the bouquet with a palette of soft pinks, whites, and green hues.

Isaac and his groomsmen were dressed in classic and timeless black suits. When speaking of the significance of his outfit, Isaac said, “The only accessory that held a special significance was my watch. I wore a silver watch that was gifted to me by Jessie’s parents. It is a Korean tradition for the bride’s parents to give the groom a watch to cherish. Every time I look at it, it serves as a strong reminder of the trust and love I have for not only Jessie, but her entire family.” He also wore Y Eau de Toilette by Saint Laurent, a gift from his mother.

The groom details his favorite moment from the event. “There was a special moment during the ceremony when Jessie’s veil was flying away, and so both our moms held down the veil together throughout the ceremony,” he says. “It felt like a symbolic gesture, the coming together of our families.”

The bridesmaids each brought their unique flair to the dresses. “I knew I wanted all the bridesmaids to wear different shades of mauve,” the bride says, “But, they got to choose their own styles. I wanted them to be comfortable and relaxed!” Jessie gifted them each Mejuri sapphire earrings as a token of her appreciation, which they all wore on the wedding day.

The floral arrangements, including this stunning topless arch, were consistent with the color scheme of peach, coral, mauve, and blush. The bride shares, “Hannah from Milieu Florals left me speechless!”

Both mothers of the bride and groom wore traditional Korean dresses, called Hanbok, by Chosun Myungju. Up until a century ago, Hanboks were worn daily. Today, Koreans reserve wearing them for special occasions and holidays.

The father of the bride walked his daughter down the aisle to “Moon River” by JJ Heller.

I love that we got to share our love stories and promises to each other in front of our friends and family. It felt powerful, reassuring, and intimate.

The bride’s favorite part of the day was the exchange of vows, especially listening to Issac’s. She says, “I love that we got to share our love stories and promises to each other in front of our friends and family. It felt powerful, reassuring, and intimate.” Pastor Issac from Ekko Church officiated the ceremony.

The couple’s first plant child, “Little Buddy,” served as a unity plant during the wedding. Over the years, the couple propagated and nurtured the plant with tender love and care as a symbol of their growing love. On the wedding day, Little Buddy was defeated by the SoCal heat, and its leaves withered away, leaving only one surviving leaf. However, Jessie and Isaac resurrected it back to life, and the plant now has three new leaves, symbolizing their new chapter.

The couple stayed close to their ancestral roots and participated in the paebaek ceremony, an intimate Korean unification tradition that symbolizes the bride’s entrance into the groom’s family. One part of the ceremony involves the couple catching dates and chestnuts in a sheet of fabric. The dates and chestnuts caught represent the number of children the couple will have—the dates representing sons and the chestnuts, daughters.

The dreamy reception area was draped with ivory chiffon canopies and stunning hanging floral centerpieces.

A local vendor, Hunger Bear Catering, provided the Japanese fusion dinner menu. The couple especially loved the blue crab roll, Hokkaido scallops, and miso black cod. They share, “We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting with Hunger Bear Catering. In fact, can we have another post-wedding tasting?”

Complimenting the espresso mug “name tags” were muslin pouches filled with the couple’s favorite Canyon Coffee espresso beans provided by The Happier, which they used as table place cards.

As their signature drink, the couple had bartenders serve champagne and Beach Town Pops popsicles immediately after the ceremony to help cool guests down from the blazing summer heat. One story from the bar the couple wanted to share: “Most of our guests are avid tequila lovers and the bartender told us that she had to make a second run to the market because we ran out of tequila… twice! Whoops!”

The newly announced Mrs. and Mr. Park had their first dance to “Somewhere Only We Know” by The Macarons Project. VOX DJs played all the couple’s favorite songs to help their guests dance the night away.

The couple decided to do the father-daughter and mother-son dances simultaneously to the song “Love is a Beautiful Thing” by Theo Katzman. “I could see how proud my father was and I’ve never seen Isaac’s mom smile that big,” shares Jessie. “It was a wonderful time.”

Don’t sweat the small stuff and have so much fun on your wedding day!

Looking back on their wedding planning leading up to the big day, they offer a wise piece of advice: “Support each other through this time period. All that really matters, in the end, is being able to celebrate with your loved ones and being healthy. Don’t sweat the small stuff and have so much fun on your wedding day!”

Later in the night, the bride changed into a stunning two-piece beaded lace corset top and skirt by V Chapman Studio.

Sweet and Saucy created a two-tiered chocolate ganache with strawberries and cream cake with ruffled edges and delicate white flowers.

The newlyweds plan to take their honeymoon trip to Europe before the end of the year. But they made sure to get in plenty of celebrating in on their wedding day. “Our last dance of the night to ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey was so epic and fun,” the couple share. “There were sparklers and we all danced and sang like there was no tomorrow.”
