We love all our designs (and hope you do too!!) but sometimes a piece will stand out in a season, like our French inspired Jeanette lace headband. With embroidered and embellished outer detail, on a French net beaded inner lace flexible headband. Ooh la la!
The Jeanette is available in silver, gold or rose gold metal/silver stones.

'Bella' means beauty and with its hint of French Chantilly lace, three tier silver embroidered and beaded appliqués the Bella Sash embodies bridal beauty.

Veil has vividly rich embroidery starting at fingertip. Shown here with veil detail worn as a mantilla with embroidery at top (optional).
From the ancient Greeks to the Elizabethans to the flappers of the roaring 20s right up to today's style conscious bride, beautiful luxurious gold and silver and sparkling stones wrapped around the crown always adds an aura of luxury to any woman's ensemble!
The Justine M Couture Pearl and Glitter hair vine is a dramatic combination of precious metals and stones that will give any bride the aura of luxury she desires!
Precious metal flowers and leaves adorned with sparkling rhinestone chain and pearls make this piece a favorite with stylists and brides.
If you love sparkle - and you know we do- you will love this Justine M Couture veil that lights up any bride's face with beautiful, twinkly genuine Swarovski crystals. The Clarissa Veil in our Signature [customizable] Collection has tons of options and a whole lot of sparkle!
French netting is back in style in a big way and we couldn't be happier! With it's beautifully embroidered and embellished detail and ooh la la French net and beaded lace, the Jeanette Headband is perfect for the drama of an over the top wedding and over the top stylish bride!
The Jeanette Headband can be created in silver, gold or rose gold metal/silver stones. Available for a special bride by special order only.
Shakespeare's famous tale of love "Romeo and Juliet" offers visions of true love, romantic drama, and hearts filled with longing. One of this year's hottest trends the Juliet Cap Veil offers all that and more. With it's snug to the head style, often delicately embroidered [as our WIllow Veil is seen below] a gathered side or back and long veil trailing down, this look is very classic, feminine and very Downton Abbey! A Juliet Cap Veil matches perfectly with silk biased gowns, big floral arrangements, romantic weddings and all styles past!
India; land of drama, history and rich culture, and the inspiration for the totally dramatic, hand embroidered work of art that is our India Veil! And if you have ever been lucky enough to attended a traditional Indian wedding [numerous days of celebration, several ceremonies, over the top entrances on horses or elephants, music and color and incredible food, food, food for days] then you have experienced a level of wedding style that is truly memorable!
The India Veil is a traditional cut veil with light gather on comb and raw cut sides with elaborate embellished scroll embroidery in a combination of silver/gold thread at base and sides of veil, finished with beading throughout embroidery in silver.
The India Veil by Justine M Couture has silver and gold combination trim.
The most popular length for this veil is 110" but this veil is available in 70" floor length, 90" chapel length and the show stopping 120" cathedral length.
Bold and very feminine, with just a hint of Bohemian style, we just love our new Misty Rose Diadem with its soft brushed gold flowers embellished with silk Swarovski rhinestones and soft brushed gold leaves.
Whether you will wed at The Ritz or in a field of wild flowers this headpiece is for the stylish flower child in all brides!
You know we love to be showcased in magazines and this "Summer Breeze" themed Fashion & Style Guide shoot by Bridal Guide Magazine featuring the new Justine M Couture Spring Flowers Vine is hot, hot, hot!
Once in a while we love to stretch our wings and make a custom piece for that special b ride...and the Mermaid's Purse Crown fits the bill! Dramatic, bold and very beautiful this special order crown is a show stopper walking down the aisle! Created of a molded filigree encrusted with Swarovski rhinestones and mother of pearl flowers the Mermaid's Purse Crown is an original work of bridal jewelry art.
Created in Antique Silver as shown above.
A gorgeous and bold English Net veil covered in rich hand embroidery, the Armonde Veil is one of our most popular veils for brides who want to raise the drama at their wedding in their photos. The Armonde Veil has all the intricacy of design that an antique veil offers yet with the durability of a modern day construction and fabric. This is a veil brides will hand down for generations.
The choker [or very fitted necklace the sits snugly around ones neck like a turtle neck] is by far this season's boldest statement piece of jewelry! Pairing well with low or plunging necklines the choker first made a fashion appearance around the time of English Queen [and notorious bold woman!] Anne Boleyn (remember the pearl "B" necklace worn by Natalie Portman playing Anne Boleyn in "The Other Boleyn Sister"). The choker was immensely popular in the late 19th century partly due to England's Alexandra, Princess of Wales [precursor to Diana!] who wore thick rows of pearls and velvet, setting quite the trend.
Here we showcase the Isabella Choker by Justine M Couture.
The classic way to secure a choker is with a ribbon at the back, adding a delicate flutter of feminine satin to counter the boldness of the neckline at the front.
We just love our Viviana Multi Purpose Piece! The sweet and feminine rhinestone shaped hearts in the design create a romantic and classic accessory that can be worn as a headband a sash or a necklace! It's no surprise this is one of our best selling multi purpose accessories. We can totally see you in this for years to come!
Rhinestone heart-shape embroidery pattern embellished and embroidered applique on illusion net, finished with silk satin ribbons. Multipurpose pieces can be worn as headbands, sashes and necklaces. Color options: silver or antique gold.
Size: Applique 20" L Total length 48"
Rich, embroidered veils are very in vogue for 2016 and the Justine M Couture Gypsea Embroidered Veil is a stunning option for the bride with an eye for vintage design and the depth that embroidery brings. And as if it is not unique and dynamic enough, it's even reversible!
Who doesn't love gorgeous, amazing shoes! 'Cacique', this gorgeous bridal shoe from Badgley Mischka Wedding Shoes marries vintage glamour with modern day bling, in ivory or blush. Shown with the Amalie Headpiece [by yours truly!] and the ever-classic Chanel Eau Vive Parfum. Find all this bridal style and more at Perfect Details.
