I love the rectangular look.

Cathedral Length Veil

I'm still excited about this eleven foot cathedral length veil that I made for my bride Tracy. It's a gorgeous drop veil with French Chantilly lace trim all along the edge. 

Everything I make is hand-stitched. I don't use a machine. This particular veil took a lot of man-hours. I mean, a lot of man-hours! It was hand-stitched with invisible thread. 

Invisible thread is tricky to work with because it tends to tangle whilst you're sewing; but it gives the veil a clean finish. It requires patience and love. I guess, I have lots of that...lol. 

Please share in my joy and pride by taking a look at this beaut:

Hair Jewels

Everything I make is handcrafted. It's time consuming but I love it. There's a feeling I cannot describe when I'm in that zone were it's just me and the materials -shaping them into something fills my heart with joy and purpose.

These hair jewels I made for a bride getting married on Oct. 29th were a labor of love. Daniela will definitely rock them on her big day. She's wearing the jewels with her custom birdcage blusher that I also made for her.

Flowers

Flowers. Flowers. Flowers...sigh. I'm in love with them. Tremendously. Especially this bouquet style that I've been seeing more and more frequently. The flowers seem to be dripping, oozing out of the brides hands. I'm not sure what the florist call this style of arranging but I love it! 

Check out these bouquets I refer to as drimpinge 😊.

Tulle Love

So I fell in love with this dress. How beautiful is this tulle gown!? It's handmade by two lovely ladies in Ukraine. Their company is called Carousel Fashion. They make amazing dresses! 

There's just something about this one that caught my eye. Maybe it's the soft powdery blue 😍.

Don't you just love it!?

Real Bride - Feature

My bride Shirin's wedding was featured on the Wedluxe Blog. I almost fainted at how beautiful her wedding was. I remember when Shirin came to see me. She was looking for a: veil, belt / sash, and a flower headpiece. I made all three for her. Her belt will forever be my favorite. It was so detailed and stunning.

Fall Wedding Bouquets

I'm wearing thigh-high boots and feeling really happy as I post this blog post. It's gloomy and raining outside but, I'm all sunny on the inside.  I think boots are my favorite fashion item for fall and winter...YEP! 

So, in my bubbly joy, I'm sharing some fall bouquets that I think you'll just love. Don't get me wrong, I love me a summery bouquet just like the next gal, but these Fall bouquets are really kind of up there for me too. Check these babies out:
