Beanstalk Links David Tutera with MZBerger & Company to Develop a Timepiece Collection for the Bride-to-Be for the 2011 Holiday Season

Available Now, The Heirloom Collection Complements Tutera’s Existing Line of Fine Jewelry Exclusively at Sears

December 12, 2011, New York, NY., – Beanstalk, a leading global brand licensing agency and consultancy, today announced that its client David Tutera, a wedding, lifestyle and entertainment authority, has partnered with MZBerger & Company to develop a collection of elegant timepieces available exclusively at Sears. Debuting in time for the 2011 holiday season, the collection complements Mr. Tutera’s existing line of fine women’s jewelry in the Sears Modern Day Bride Collection.

"Being able to provide brides with uniquely beautiful options to accessorize on such a special day is the driving force behind the new line and my entire collection,” says David Tutera. "A bride’s wedding experience from the moment of engagement to the honeymoon should not be sacrificed for affordability."

Inspired by David Tutera’s television series, “My Fair Wedding,” the line of elegant timepieces is intended for brides to wear on special occasions or as a gift to the bridal party and loved ones sharing in the experience. Initially available in gold tone, silver tone and rose gold tone, each watch will be embedded with crystals and feature David’s signature touch of blue to accent the crown. The watches embody elements from David’s personal family heirlooms and the line’s affordability makes it the perfect accessory on a bride’s wedding day and for years to come.

"There is currently a tremendous void in the marketplace for affordable wedding and bridal products that this line directly addresses," said Marci Gordon, CMMO at MZBerger & Company. "Our partnership with David Tutera and Sears provides brides with an accessible option for memorable gifts and accessories that enhance the entire wedding experience."
