  1. I love love love that gardenina hairpiece but the blue bird would be perfect for our blue wedding.

    My favorite photographer is Vanessa of photographybyvanessa.com/blog - I appreciate how she combines the snapshot feel of photojournalism in even the most traditional photos.

  2. Wow!! Everything in Smitten's shop is so beautiful. It was hard to choose a favorite because everything was kind of my favorite!

    I think the the Violets clip was my absolute favorite. (This one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33780212) The colors are so amazing! We are having a summer farm wedding and both the gardenia and the violet fit beautifully into our motif.

  4. The pieces with veils are my favorite. I love the classy/chic look of short veils.

    I am a big fan of Weeno Photography: they are so fun and fresh. Here is a link to their flickr wedding set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37047965@N08/sets/72157617255546448/

  13. My favorite photographer is www.ericamay.com She's an amazing photographer and takes really fun, beautiful pictures. I can't wait to see mine!!!
    I also love the 'strand of pearls' clip. I've been scouring etsy for hair pieces and this shop is the best!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love Smittnexoxo. I have been looking at her hair clips since before my engagement!

    My favorite photographer would have to be my fiance', but he can't do our wedding pictures (besides he hates dealing with brides like me)! My second favorite would have to be Courtney Herod. He did our engagement photos in Chattanooga, TN and they turned out wonderfully. http://courtneyherod.com/ Unfortunately he cannot do our wedding, since it is Santa Barbara, CA. For that the only ones my fiance' would accept was FotoCielo. http://www.fotocielo.com/ Their work is gorgeous and they have been easy to work for so far.

    My favorite hair clip would have to be the Two Ruffle Gardenias in ivory. So simple yet artistically crafted.

  15. I like the 'sweetheart' clip the best, it's just so friendly for any occasion or even daily wear!

  16. Her pieces are definitely memorable since I remember looking at all of these gorgeous pieces before when Smitten had a giveaway several months ago.
    I'm still loving the Lady Alabaster and Dos Gardenias Para Ti. Thanks for another chance to win your beautiful work!

  17. I love the work of Punam Bean [http://www.punambeanweddings.com/]. I love her photojournalism style, and that everything she shoots looked natural and candid instead of completely staged like the type of stuff I've seen from other Indian photographers.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I LOVE the Frost Blue hair piece. I've been going back and forth about whether to do the netted veil or just a flower but I suppose waiting for the dress would be a better plan:)
    ALSO, as for photography...I absolutely love One Love Photo. It's artsy and unique and something I'd love to see with my own wedding photos. Besides all that they just seem to get you completely comfortable and the pictures reflect that!
    I am getting married in WI and since cost is a factor, we'll be going with someone more local. Check out these 2 photographers from La Crosse, WI: http://www.dawnsilvaphoto.com/

    Enjoy!:)

  19. Wow, everything is so beautiful!!

    I don't have a favorite wedding photographer yet... but I just recently discovered Dana Grant. I love classy style with a touch of laid-back casualness and vintage, if that makes sense!

    I love the Dos Gardenias, Sunset Peony, Apples & Honey, and Puff!!

  20. I love the Off - White ranunculus in her shop!

    My fave photographer at the moment is our photographer we just booked!

  24. I have fallen in love with the Ruffle Gardenia! My dress has soft ruffles at the bottom, and my great grandmother used to have gardenias in her garden. :)

    My favorite photographer is Lori Dill in Birmingham, Alabama www.appearphotography.com. She is wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Two of my favorite are wedding photographers are:

    Closest to me, my favorite photographer is Deidre Lynn http://deidrelynnphotography.com/ she truly captures moments.

    Lastly, LOVE Smitten's Shop. Favorite piece? Midnight Blues. Amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  26. She is already one of my favorite sellers! It is hard to pick just one, I love them all. If i must then it would be a choice between, the gardenia, the fields an the grasshopper.

    I love JL Photgraphia. They take some amazing shots and capture some really lovely moments.

  27. What a beautiful hair piece!

    My (current) favorite photographer is Fiona Andersen. http://fionaandersenphotography.com/blog/ We are both in New Zealand. Fiona has a way of capturing a certain clarity and light in her photos which I think reflects the atmosphere of our country. As a small country we dont have a huge amount of really exceptional wedding photographers, but i think Fiona is in a league of her own and she has a fabulous way of showing off our scenery too

  29. Classic and cutting edge at hte same time - I need one of these! They'd look great in my photos, which IF I were getting married in Cali would possibly be taken by Meg Perotti b/c I love her site: http://megperotti.com/blog/

    Pick me, pick me! I love the gardenias, feathered peony and the purple one, oh and the list goes on!

  33. Oh my, I've fallen in love with the ivory gardenia! Although I wouldn't mind a big ivory/pink peony (they used to grow in my backyard...)!

    I was referred to KLK Photography and I absolutely love the master mind of it all: Kristi Klemens! Her images are so well crafted - editorial at times, but she also captures traditional shots that are classic and timeless. Can't wait to work with her in 30 days! :)

  40. My favorite photographer is Benj Haisch. His work is just stunning.

    The turquoise veil with the red flowers in the back would be perfect for my color scheme!

  41. I wore the gardenia flower on my wedding day. It was so perfect and everyone thought that it was real. Leah is incredibly talented.

    ReplyDelete
  42. As far as a local photographers goes.... andrewjordanphotography.com
    Looking through his wedding portfolio it looks like he takes photos more to suit the couple's personality and style rather than his own which is what I think is great.

    Smitten's shop is great. Good variety and different sizes for the hairpeices. Having custom orders is definetly a plus especially when it comes to wedding stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  43. These hair clips are amazing! I have been looking for the perfect one to wear at my wedding!

    The absolute best photographers in this area Ray and Erica Tisdale of 35 Atlanta. They are so amazing and talented. They're shooting my wedding in May. :)

    My favourite (Sydney, Australia) wedding photographer has to be, Lucy Leonardi:

  47. My favorite photographer is Jasmine Starr. I've been following her for at least a year before being engaged.
    My favorite smitten item is the ruffle gardenia b/c it looks so soft and delicate.

  48. I love all of these creations! I have been looking around for a fascinator for my Virgin Islands wedding in June.

    My favorite photographer is Greer Rivera.. so fresh and so clean clean. I am unable to contain my excitement about having her photograph our wedding! http://www.greerrivera.com/

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'd go for the Victorian - I'm really pale with dark brown hair, so it would be perfect for our small, casual summer wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I've got to say that the gardenia is by far the most perfect piece. I would love to show that off at my wedding this August.

    The most fantabulously amazing photographer is the one and only Tammy Swales: http://www.tammyswales.com. Complete fun and totally beautiful shots. Couldn't ask for more! LOVE her!!

    wcswan2010@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  51. Wow.. this stuff is gorgeous. SO hard to pick a favorite... but I think I'd either go with the gardenia or Lady Alabaster.

    I LOVE photography and one of my favorite things about planning my wedding has been the discovery of so many wonderful photographers. My favorites so far are www.jeffholtphoto.com/, http://www.sandrasalisbury.com and of course- our photographer!: www.kateharrisonphotography.com/ . All have a gorgeous style that is at once photojournalistic and intimate, modern but with an organic bend. The style that I'm drawn to was expressed perfectly by Kate: "You are searching for a photographer who brings joy, calm, eyes in the back of her head, passion, originality, laughter, spunk". Love it!

    Oh! and my email, should you need it: aslan2806 at sbcglobal dot net

    ReplyDelete
  52. You have exquisite taste. I adore all your pieces, but 'Dove' takes the cake!

    My favorite photographer is Matthew Wright of Fig Tree Photography (FigTreePhotography.com). He's absolutely amazing at capturing the important moments in a photojournalistic/documentary fashion that makes flipping through one of his albums the next best thing to actually being present.

  56. I'd be over the moon to win the gardenia flower - our first dance is to "Dos Gardenias" played by the Cuban band we're having. (We are telling them to leave out the last verse...if you look at the lyrics you'll see what I mean!)

    I love the photographer we're having for our wedding - she's just starting out but we had an engagement shoot with her and she was wonderful, and her photos made us look amazing:
    http://emmacasephotography.blogspot.com/ - UK girls, book her! She's fab!

    ReplyDelete
  57. AHH!! I love those flowers! My dress has this huge icky sparkly bit on the hip and I need to cover it up with a big awesome flower - but so many are so beautiful! I really like the Number 10...or Number 5...or the Two Ruffle Gardenias in ivory...or the Ivory Peony! Are you kidding me? You want me to choose one!?!?!?

    As far as photographers in our area, I'm in love with Kage Imagery for their clean look and ability to capture the moment with such clarity. Also, Gene & Katie seem to be genuine and fun people who I'd be happy to have at our wedding.

    *PHEW* so much beauty.

  63. Yay. I'm a wedding photographer-- www.paigelehmann.com, and my favorite local wedding photographer is Michelle, or Lucille Von Tron -- she's doing our wedding and she's amazing! What's really nice is that she uses a mix of digital and real film with toy cameras.

  71. I have been eyeing of those gardenia clips for a while now...

    My favourite photogrpher is named Vincent Lai from Australia (www.vlblog.net). His compositions are natural and engaging and he doesn't rely heavily on post production to get great results.

    What a great giveaway! Thank you!

  72. SO many choices! Argh.. but I am totally wanting a birdcage veil for my upcoming wedding, and her "Ravishing" headpiece is exactly what I want to wear!

    I'm actually liking Nine Photography at the moment (www.ninephotography.com). I love how they can capture the joy and happiness of the event, without making their subjects look like they were posing. I especially love the filters/lighting effects they use to give the photos a vintage feel, yet some shots still keep that modern touch.

  73. I'm loving ALL these hairpieces! All are so gorgeous and add an element of FUN. My personal favorite is Lady Alabaster. Simple, but elegant and beautiful.

    One of my favorite wedding photographers is Todd Pellow. (I think that's how you spell his name...) He's based out of Louisville, and his work takes my breath away!

  74. Here is my photographer for my upcoming wedding: http://5fourteenphotography.com/
    I'm super excited to see what she will do and am confident I will end up with great and unique pictures.

    As for Smitten's items, my favorite is the peacock twirl. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33292391

  75. I like the single ruffle gardenia piece. The double is really pretty as well. Also there are several talented photographers in the Raleigh, NC area and I can't choose just one. My favorites are Caroline Ghetes ( http://www.carolineghetes.com/blog), Millie Holloman (http://www.milliehollomanblog.com/), and Marthanna Yater ( http://www.marthannayater.com/).

  76. The gardenia needs to be in my hair, on my wedding, when I make out with my new husband! I have been growing my hair out for just such a flower. Gorg!

    The photography I can't get enough of and prbly can't afford is max wanger http://www.maxwanger.com/
    there is such an identifiable viewpoint in his photos that they really border art rather than anything else. any of the pics would make an amazing living room piece even if they weren't your own wedding photos, ya know?
    he clearly understands people and the subtlety that can be achieved with photography.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Love the gardenias! SO pretty! That's definitely my favorite. All of them are so fun!

    My favorite local photographer is lynell shooks at www.lizzieweddings.com. She's amazing and fresh and fun and gets incredible colors and creative scenes.

    Would love to wear your design at my wedding.

  82. These are so amazing! I dont know if I should thank you or be upset for all these amazing options! I always wanted a flower for my hair, but now to choose the style....I think I'm debating between the Poison in Peach or the Orchid...or thirties....or crystal blue - as you can see I can't decide!

    My fave photographer is Ben Di Caprio: I love his "top five" photos, and his ability to capture so much emotion in his pictures. http://www.benjamindicaprioblog.com/

  85. I fell in love with a certain Southern California photographer because I came across these photos---http://braedonsblog.com/2008/12/25/seth-and-dionna-el-capitan. The pictures are a natural mix of rustic romance and simple elegance.

    The hair clips from smittenxoxo are also a good example of simple elegance. I'm thinking the ruffle gardenia clip may be a good detail for my wedding day!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Mmm, Etsy AND a giveaway, how can I resist?

    First of all, I LOVELOVELOVE these hairpieces!! I already have smitten noted as a favorite shop, and have swooned over these clips (including the Gardenia) for months! Another that would be absolutely PERFECT would be the Red Russian hair clip. The colors for our wedding are black and white with a dash of red, and this would really pop against my dark brown hair. We're also getting married in a barn near Boston, so the berries are a perfect rustic-New-England touch.

  87. I love the gardenia clip!! I planned my whole wedding around the blossoming period of spring flowering trees, and this piece fits so perfectly into our wedding design.

    I have loved for over a year, and still love, the women we ultimately chose as our wedding photographer. Megan Dupuis of Perspectives Photography, based outside of Boston, MA. Her detail shots are beyond compare! She manages to capture everything, and really highlights the natural beauty and architecture of the settings, something that was really important to my fiance and I. Her link is: http://www.perspectives-photography.com

  93. All of her work is so fantastic. The flowers are amazingly realistic. My favorite photographer is Amy Parsons. www.amyparsons.com because she has such gorgeous saturated colors and just seems to have a good eye for it. I was looking at the album of pictures from one of her weddings and had to keep reminding myself I was looking at pictures and not watching a video.

  94. oh my gosh i can't even begin to tell you how perfect these flowers would be for me! I was planning on wearing gardenias in my hair for my wedding because my grandmother did the same thing when she played in the Evansville Symphony Orchestra. Also, I'm from Baltimore so I'm a local :) My favorite wedding photographer is my photographer (and longtime friend) Melissa Barrick www.melissabarrickphotography.com . She's new and she's awesome! I love her angles and how she perfectly captures mood and emotion.

  96. Ahhh! I have a flower on my dress but want to replace it with this - have been obsessed with gardenias since Katherine Hepburn's "Summertime"...beautiful stuff!

    Wedding is in the Berkshires, but I'm blessed that my Polish cousins will be photographing our day. They are amazing! http://www.flickr.com/photos/swiatek-oracz/

  97. I would love for my daughter to win the ruffle gardenia! It is our family's favorite flower. We all have them planted in our gardens, and it would be the perfect traditional tie in! It matches her dress perfectly!

    studio g photography is my favorite! www.studiogphoto.net

  98. Gorgeous gardenias - they are among my favorite. I also really love Gates of Ivory. I have a weak spot for flowers and feathers!

    My favorite photographer is hard (Labor of Love, Tec Petaja, Max Wanger, Gia Canali are all great). But I love photography with a whimsical, classic style that can capture the essence of the couple, their style, and a venue in one!

  99. I have to say the gardenia piece is my favorite! I don't have a wedding photographer yet, as I am in the early planning stages. My other favorites of Smittenxoxo's is Greens and Soft...love the feathers!

  100. Off the top of my head, Max Wanger (http://www.maxwanger.com/) does beautiful shots of weddings and everything else too (who doesn't love the big balloon photos?). Also, Erin Hearts Court (http://www.erinheartscourt.com/) manages to make their photos so much fun.

    I do hope I win - these gardenias are stunning and would make a great wedding present for my friend! Also, I love all these comments because I have so many more wedding photographers to look up now!

  103. Everything in Smitten's shop is absolutley beautiful...but I'd have to say that the Gardenia's still take my breath away. If I had to pick another piece, I'd go with the Ivory veil and flower.

    Favorite photographer would be Hassas Photography...fun, whimsical, passionate, and vibrant...you can find him here:
