Favorite wedding ideas I've seen this week...





                            



                                         These are some super fun boutineers for a "rat pack" wedding with a Vegas feel! Really fun and very creative. You could have a casino set up for your after party with a chic club feel. Name your tables after Hotels and Casinos on the Vegas Strip. Make sure that you include some Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra tunes.

The Fabulous Flowers!

         

















           This is my newest creation in Vintage jewels, a handmade one of a kind wedding bouquet. This bouquet is something that the bride can have forever, in addtion to a gown and a veil to hand down to family, think of this! It can be displayed or used by a another bride. The price is comparable to fresh flowers-fresh flowers can even be added to the jewels to tie into the brides other wedding flowers.
This bouquet features brilliant blue, purple, pink, gold, silver, and sea green jewels.

The Fabulous Flowers!








































































As a floral designer I have done hundreds of bouquets for brides. Most were fresh flowers; some had jewels, crystals and pearls added. My signature with my floral arrangements, (as with all things fashion) Is More is More! My latest Brooch Bouquet is a statement to my signature! More Is More! With 100 brooches, pearls, rhinestones, buttons, charms, crystals, and more…. I can’t help it, I LOVE IT!

This particular bouquet is available for sale on my ETSY site. I also make custom request bouquets.

I would pare it with as SUPER FULL crinoline to make it ultra feminine. For the Headpeice the super flirtatious Can-can hat!

 Then to go in the other extreme, I would add The Channel tattoos. They are setting hearts afire. It wasn’t just them - Rodarte and Jean Paul Gautier also sent their models down the aisle in ephemeral ink for SS2010. I gotta-have-it.

And then for my Cake selection some artsy creations! Hand Painted Cakes. These remarkable cakes are by JollyBe Bakery. It is a small-scale bakery making original and delicious special-occasion cakes. JollyBe is located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and serves the greater New York area.

My favorite wedding ideas this week…Enjoy!


Dresses From My Past.....

In keeping with the pink theme…I’ve included some fun pink gowns and one of their perfect compliments green for this update. I’m thinking spring this morning as they said we might have 40 degrees sometime next week! Here in Wisconsin that is all we need to get the juices running!!!!!! Yes it may be 20 today but jus the sheer thought of sunshine and the spring garden is invigorating.


The first frock is white tulle with a delicate green cord trim and a velvet ribbon at the waist. This gown went from my shop to prom.

The second dress was perfect for its next life to a cocktail party. Off the shoulder, in icy pink taffeta and tulle. 

This third dress in the Kelly green tulle had rich gold embroidery on the bodice. The color was wonderful. I think its occasion was a holiday party.

And our forth selection is a delightful frock from the twenties. It was made of tulle and if I remember correctly it went off to a wedding in Hawaii!

The Fabulous Flowers!

Pretty in Pink! Pink says vibrant, it says spring. It says life and joy! Maybe this is why so many brides love pink for part of their wedding flowers. It is a lovely neutral, going well with many other color combinations. It has a wonderful large selection of flowers that the bride and her florist can choose from. I love working with pink as the bride’s choice in flowers, it leaves me wide open to find delicious combinations for bouquets, and reception ideas. Here are a few you might enjoy!
