The Look: Michael knew that Samantha has a "the more the better" attitude towards jewelry, but since she has a small frame he didn’t want the pieces to overwhelm her look. He pulled together styles that would be highlighted by the blue in her dress like a stack of antique-inspired Sapphire bracelets from Stephen Russell, a ring by Mark Schneider and sapphire and diamond platinum earrings by Damiani that were large enough to be seen under her long, wavy hairstyle.

Make it Bridal: "This look would work for a hippie chic bride," says Michael. "The design of the dress and the free flowing look makes it traditional and retro."
