CRBoggs Designs Blogspot

Welcome to my blog.

As a designer, i have a passion for creating new and wonderful ideas. My true love is in the wedding market and creating wonderful and beautiful pieces whether it be a upcycled, repurposed wedding gown or a couture bridal veil. Specializing in Vintage and Haute Couture styles, i have created a venue for my passion of Vintage Glitz. Dont tell anyone, but i love scouring fleamarkets, estate sales and antique stores for that special Rhinestone piece or linen or lace that will make a beautiful piece absolutely stunning. In my blog, I will introduce you to amazing people I've met or sites i've visited that will help make your experience with your wedding a wonderful, fun and exciting trip.
Please check me out on my website for all my pieces for sale. I adore custom orders.

Fall/Winter 09-10 New Line Bridal Sashes and Belts

I decided to try something fun and new. I love Bridal sashes and all the fancy belts out there and see that Brides are looking for new and unique pieces...so...i decided to create a custom line of belts and sashes for the fall/winter of 09-10 season.

I have listed my first one which is White venetain lace with a custom handmade brooch made of vintage laces and beads. the brooch is detachable and wearable forever. I am currently working on my second one which will be a stain ribbon belt with lace and swarovski crystals and pearls.
I adore making them and look forward to seeing if Brides like them
