ELEGANT GARDEN BOUQUET

bouquetelegantgardenweb
Brand new from Emici Bridal! Gazing upon this bouquet may cause spring to arrive sooner so if you wish for winter to linger on I suggest you close your browser and look no further. Handmade out of ivory, champagne and blush silk dupioni and silk satin fabrics this beauty beckons you to warm up. The tiny blush dupioni flowers are each centered with a genuine freshwater pearl to add a touch of sweetness. No detail is skipped on this arrangement. Each flower is its own silk wrapped stem.

To order this bouquet please go to my website. You can also order your own custom silk bouquet if you have a certain color palette in mind. Hope you enjoy this bit of floral goodness!

THANK YOU KATE!

katef2
Customer photos are one of my absolute favorite things. My creations are a piece of a wedding puzzle so to see the larger image with the other pieces is truly a pleasure. When I received these amazing photos from my client I could not wait to share them with you. Stunning is one word that comes to mind but I still feel that it falls short.

The color scheme was burgundy and olive. It is interesting to me that when you choose a color palette that is really only a small part of the design. Then you also have to decide what flowers and decorations are going to answer the color call. I love how Kate brought everything together!

Custom woven earrings from Edera Jewelry were commissioned by the bride. Edera Jewelry creates stunning hand woven luxury pieces using gemstones and pearls. This is art that you wear. You can find more pieces by Edera Jewelry by clicking here.

SEATTLE MAGAZINE

lulyblushbouquethighres-seattlemag

As many of you know I am a big fan of Luly Yang Couture, her designs are breathtaking. I turn into an excited little girl every time I visit her Seattle boutique. It's a true pleasure for me. The Luly Blush Bouquet was a piece that I created for her. I was honored when she used the bouquet in her fashion show at Urban Unveiled this past November. Just when I thought it could not get any better it did. The photo from the show was published in the January 2011 issue of Seattle Magazine.

You can read the first post about Luly and the Luly Blush Bouquet here.

CONTINUE THE PARADE

alenconblushpilweb
Let's continue the parade of new ring pillows that are now available from Emici Bridal. I recently acquired some beautiful vintage alencon lace that you will be seeing more of throughout the designs. The ring pillow above is created with blush silk dupioni that has the lace overlay. I also added a voluptuous blush Catala bloom in the center.

tullerufflemoppilweb
One of a kind, this ivory silk ring pillow will cast a spell on you. The wide sash over the top of this pillow is bordered with a tulle ruffle. I felt that this pillow needed to boast a vintage mother of pearl brooch. The mother of pearl pieces are some of my favorites.

One more lace piece for you today. This classic combo of lace, pearls and crystals is always a favorite.

FRESH FROM THE STUDIO

threebowpil2web
This is the newest crop from the studio. For this first silk dupioni ring pillow I wanted to design something completely different from anything I have done before. It boasts three silk ribbon and organza bows topped with rhinestone banding.

jospehinepilweb
This ivory silk satin ring bearer pillow is one of a kind. The center of the pillow was constructed in a fluid manner, a little bit of this here and a little bit of that there. The collection of fabrics on this pillow includes silk chiffon, silk satin ribbon, tulle, alencon lace and an ostrich feather for good measure (of course). Hand beaded with genuine freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals.

linenringpil
Linen is a fabric that I have not had lately in the studio. When I saw this beautiful fabric I really wanted to present something to you using it. It has been paired with vintage materials. Of course the antique mother of pearl button is a special touch that is close to my heart.
