I was astounded to see this video clip the other day and couldn't wait to share it with everyone I knew. Maybe you've seen it already, but it's short film showing the incredible transformation of an everyday woman into a billboard model. It's a fascinating watch and it captures the modern day distortion of our natural beauty, into an unreal portrayal of what we now perceive as a 'perfect' woman

A few months ago I became part of a panel of experts for a wedding magazine, offering advice to brides-to-be. Over the years I’ve learnt a lot in the wedding fashion world and it’s great to be able to pass on some of this knowledge in their Q&A section.I'm thrilled to be able to tell you that whatever you are looking for, whether it’s resetting your grandmothers pearls into a wedding necklace,

I can't quite believe it's the 1st December.  I have an inability to do anything remotely Christmassy before the month of December...no mince pies and no Christmas shopping, but this morning I embraced the rather sudden appearance of the month by downloading all my Christmas music onto my ipod and singing along in the car!  I do love this time of year!I guess it's rather appropriate that my '21

As we all know, fashion changes over time and I've found that tiaras also go through their own phases.Like so many businesses, I started out by making tiaras & jewellery for friends who were getting married.  One of the first designs I did was for a friend called Sharlene, who didn't really want a typical 'tiara'.  She didn't want to walk down the ailse with some flashing bling-thing on her head,

I've noticed in the past few years that I seem to add exclamation marks to an awful lot of my sentences! It's not that I'm always over excited or highly strung...it's just that, along with little dots(...), the odd dash - and the ever faithful exclamation mark...I tend to find that it presents my 'voice' more realistically...(or is that) dramatically!!!Anyway, after my teenage years of proper

'Wedding' Magazine were in touch a couple of months back when we decided to run a competition with them. They requested a few tiaras to be sent over to photograph for the article...and they've ended up choosing the ever-popular 'Moondust' tiara here.  It's a timeless design that suits the classic bride.  They've featured my 'Design a Tiara' online service in their latest issue. Here's what they

It's just over 10 weeks until my wedding day now and I'd like to say that I'm perfectly calm and everything is done.  I'd like to...but I'd be lying!!!  It seems a little odd to me that life hasn't stopped to allow me to spend hours meticulously planning our wedding...so there's still tons to do!  I also like to think that we have the power to change our lives and make them what we choose...but

It's the beginning of June and our Tiara Giveaway Competition has come to a close. The countdown has finished and we've picked our lucky winner...a bride-to-be called Tamlyn who's getting married in May 2009. Tamlyn gets to choose any tiara of her choice from our current collection worth up to £170...I'll let you know which tiara she ends up choosing soon.Whilst we're on the subject of

I began working on one of my favourite tiaras yesterday...the Elegance Tiara. Brides magazine have shown interest in writing a feature about 'Design a Tiara', and they've requested a number of tiaras to photograph for the 'possible' article, including Elegance.  But I have to confess that my stock is almost empty...so I'm making a few pieces to send onto them this week.  The 'Design a Tiara'

No, no no...I'm not talking about those kind of late night activities...I'm talking about the fact that sometimes I get a little carried away when I'm making jewellery and suddenly it's 12.30am and I'm surrounded by bright lights and crystals.  Well, last night was one such night.  I'm working on creating a new 'Entwine Tiara' for You and Your Wedding magazine.  I hand make every tiara to order,

I have to admit I designed my wedding jewellery and tiara before I knew what dress I was having. The colour theme was never really a big dilema...RED! It's in my hair...my bedroom...my car...why not my wedding!I've been delaying buying the jewels for my wedding tiara and accessories, but I'm now on the verge of a splurge!  I'm dreaming of rich red ruby gemstones cut as teardrops, but the rubies

Yesterday was my first experience of being in front of a video camera lens...and I'm afraid I'm not the natural I hoped I'd be! My fiance and I began filming for a short video clip which will soon be making its way onto my website front page www.MiaMasri.com.We started outside in the glorious sunshine, but it seemed that everyone else (and their dog) in the local vicinity levitated towards us.

I always wondered why my bridal customers would plan their wedding up to 18 months in advance, and want to talk over tiara and jewellery ideas long before the big day!!! Now that I'm a bride-to-be myself I have the inside knowledge... there's so much to do!I have to admit that I would class myself under the 'extremely organised perfectionist' category, whether it comes to my day-to-day life (from
