What Our Customers Are Saying

Beautiful stuff on this website. It can be sorta pricey, but definitely worth it. Their work is quality work and still a bit cheaper than ordering from a bridal shop. Plus they can totally customize the work they do. For example, they made my tiara into a back piece to be tucked into my hair. — Racheal from MD

Brides.com- Winter Weddings Story (We're Featured)!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

winterweddings

I just got the link to a story on Brides.com entitled “Winter Weddings” which features two of our pieces the Eden Song Hair Ornament and the Stardust Vine. What a wonderful story showing many snow inspired, sparkling, & glittery hair accessories! A winter wedding can be an opportunity to play on the lush imagery of wintry white snow, glittering and slowly falling snow flakes, and smooth reflective ice. Shades of white, icy blue tones, soft smokey grays, and silver are some of my favorite colors and perfect for a winter wedding theme.

Last winter I worked with a customer who got married 3 days after Christmas. Why? Well, her fiance is in the military and was scheduled to be home on leave then. It was actually my neighbor’s very good friend so I loved helping her!! I literally loaded about 30 items in a box, gave some suggestions, and gave them to my neighbor for her and her friend to go through. So much fun! In the end she wore the Sugar Plum Headpiece and pinned 2 Lola Brooches (pictured in the image above) clustered together on the hip of her gown.

I’m always happy to help if you have a specific theme you’re working with or even just have some ideas you want to run past me. Some of the best results come when there’s a back and forth exchange of ideas!

Enjoy!

A New Way to get More…

I love questions from our customers- anything from “can you make this piece with light pink crystal” to “here’s my gown & what do you think?”. I love making connections & feeling like I helped to make a situation easy and happy. I recently had the opportunity to help a customer & the end result is definitely worth sharing! Jill wanted to wear a jeweled piece in her hair for her wedding that she could re-use in a slightly different way for a special celebration that will take place after her wedding. This celebration is for friends & family who could not attend the couples destination wedding & so the while the gathering will be celebrating their marriage it will be more informal. So! How can we get two different uses out of one design? I had already designed the Orchard Blossom Back Piece to have a central detachable part & Jill was the perfect customer to test out my idea. The large center flower has a small comb of its own & slides in & out of the design very easily. Voila! Jill will be wearing a low gathered twist of hair with the Orchard Blossom Back Piece tucked in asymmetrically for the wedding & will pull out the center blossom to slide into her hair which she will wear down & pulled up on one side for the second celebration.

I love the idea that the some portion of a piece can be worn for years afterward as a reminder of something very special. I have a brooch that I made for my own wedding 5 years ago that I wear several times a year. When I am complimented on it I love saying “thank you, I wore this my wedding day”! This detachable concept translates well to several pieces in the line. What’s next? More pieces with detachable combs, brooches, & even earrings. Pieces that work in more ways than one adding a functional component I think we all appreciate right now & deepen memories as you are able to wear the jewelry for years to come.

The detachable feature is available by request. Enjoy!

Chandelier Earrings

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

I have shown several new chandelier earrings this fall/winter which are beautiful, bold in size, & feature delicate detail. The Miss Peacock Earrings have proved very popular. Given that I’ve edited the design a bit to create a medium sized chandelier drop, the Stella Earrings. I love these earrings because not only do they compliment a wedding gown with clean lines, perhaps no necklace & a piece of hair jewelry placed in the back, they can be worn over & over again!

Enjoy!
