REAL WEDDING PEEK

Client photos are one of my absolute favorite things to see in my inbox. They offer me a glimpse into the life of my designs after they leave the studio and a chance to share beautiful moments with my much appreciated clients. These were recently sent to me by Stacy.

Stacy had me create for her a custom black silk taffeta rose with a genuine freshwater pearl flower center. It was then paired with a black satin ribbon sash to complete the look. Love the contrast, it creates such a dramatic effect.

Such a fabulous dress!

Ah love! They look so happy, such a beautiful moment. Stacy also chose an off white silk chiffon flower with the same freshwater pearl flower center to wear in her hair. The pearl flower helped to tie together both the sash and the fascinator.

Welcome to accessory heaven! Those red shoes in the background make this whole photo pop. These fabulous photos were taken by Elizabeth Wertz Photography. Thank you so much Stacy for sending these pictures to me and giving me the chance to peek into such a magical day.

KENTUCKY BRIDE AND SOMETHING BLUE

So honored to have my silk dupioni cobalt Rapture Rose featured in the Kentucky Bride Fall 2010 issue! The feature focuses on "something blue" for the wedding. Best of all, the blue can really be from anything! Your imagination is the only boundary!




In honor of this I wanted to post my most recent somethings in lovely blue hues. First there is a silk charmeuse ring pillow in a whisper light blue. The secret to this ring pillow is that the flower is actually a detacheable fascinator that you can wear at the reception!


Beaded with rhinestone and genuine freshwater pearls and also accented with tulle, chiffon and feathers. Whimsical and glam at the same time.


Last but not least we have a lovely silk dupioni with delicate embroidered dots. I paired this with a silk satin ribbon, a silver rhinestone flourish and some more of the same freshwater pearls. Each of these pillows is hand tufted with a mother of pearl button on the back.

THE PARIS BOUQUET

Yes! I am so happy to be able to bring you Paris, the second bouquet in my city series of handmade silk bouquets that are inspired by iconic cities. I simply could not resist the lure of white, pink and black for this challenge. Way too tempting!


This bouquet features two brand new flowers, the peony and anemone. Peonies are my favorite flower so I just had to produce my very own version. The anemone flower was created specifically for this bouquet. The combo of the black and the white was perfect for this arrangement. Also, something really interesting about this bouquet is that the ostrich feather collar is removeable if desired!


This is a vintage beaded button from Paris on the stems. I found this while shopping for supplies and just had to include it. I am only human after all.


Each flower is cut and shaped by hand. The anemone centers are silk taffeta buttons that are hand beaded with black glass beads and black Swarovski crystals around the edge. The catala flowers and the peonies are centered with rhinestones.



Ah the lure of a peony...


There are also companion pieces to the bouquet. Above is a small white silk dupioni ring bearer pillow with a white silk and black net bow. On top of the ring pillow is a detacheable fascinator that can be worn at the reception. Two purposes in one pillow!


Second is this white silk dupioni ring pillow with the same black and white silk anemone flowers with beaded buttons. The bold black beaded leaf appliques really make this piece stand out. This is a one of a kind pillow.


I also created this fanciful ring pillow with white ostrich feather trim and a pink silk satin peony. Variations on this style are available such as black feather trim or an ivory pillow.
Let's not forget brooches and sashes! I love these peonies so you will see more of these coming into the Emici Bridal offerings.


Such a cute little number. White silk satin ring pillow with a hand dyed ombre silk dupioni ruffle that is topped with black velvet. A silver rhinestone flourish finishes it off.

I guess that there is only one more thing to talk about. The next city in the series of bouquets. I am THRILLED to announce that it is New York! I have some great plans for this one and I hope to see you back here for the reveal and please don't forget to let me know what you think of this city series in the comment section below. Thank you!
