Weekend Retreat

Tomorrow I leave for the wonderful ocean side town of Lincoln city, OR. For 4 days, i will be not only vacationing, but scouraging wonderful little shops for unique ocean and beach pieces to include in my new section of "Beach Brides" As i created my first piece....Gorgeous handstrung beads and sequins intwinned around a gorgeous 3 piece hairband. I love this piece. I'm working on creating additional pieces to go with this as i write. Maybe a beautiful bouquet...maybe a bridesmaid hairpiece...i guess you will just have to check back and see. Watch for updates as i finish new and stunning items. Remember, they are always unique and one of a kind.

Winter is coming

Winter is right around the corner and so are those wonderful winter white weddings. Just in time, i created this fabulous Birdcage blusher complete with fur, feathers and tiny red and gold berries. Stunning Swarovski crystals also adorn the berrie center. What a magical time of year and what a wonderful Birdcage blusher this will be for the upcoming bridal season. Any questions or comments please convo me.

New Trends

Well i've been following what seems to be hot this year for brides and its Birdcages, feathers, vintage, color and lots more color. I especially love the idea of the colored Tulled slip underneath the wedding dress. A fellow Etsy member actually has these for sale and their gorgeous. I just completed my first Veil involving two different colors. I combined 4 layers of alternating tulle pink and white. How sweet is that? I'm working on one right now for a client that is shimmer pink with shimmer gold over the top. What a stunning combo. Look for my newest creations as i update frequently.

Gold shimmer veiling with pink underneath. Cant wait to see finished product. I will of course post pic when completed.

Holiday creations

So, my newest idea was to create something for the holiday seasons coming up. First thinking about all of those lovely ladies that enjoy the "All hallows Eve" for their wedding spectacular...I created two new Bridal pieces. First is a gorgeous Red and black feathers Fascinator, to which i added tiny strands of peacock feathers to the center. Tulle I used is black with little bits of shinny orange red Crystals embedded. This piece is stunning. Check it out on my etsy site to view full pics and price.

Next I added a Vintage Couture Styled Birdcage Blusher. Midnight Ambiance was my inspiration behind this piece. With the gorgeous tulle just sexy like covering the face, I handcrafted a Rose out of the tulle and attached it to the top. Of course, its not complete without my signature Feathers that I love to add. To this one, I held back and only added one. In the center of the Rose are tiny crystals beads that I handsewed for a glorious stunning look. Any comments on my works, whether critiqueing or admiring would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking again.
