Sneak Preview

I promised, so here is a sneak preview of the bridal collection I'm working on.  There's just a few pieces, but I know a few of you asked to see what I've got so far, so here it is!

It's inspired by old photos of family weddings - faded, hand-painted, worn, yet still elegant.  The pieces have a natural, carefree, casual vintage feel.  My palette includes dusty pastels, white, ivory and champagne as well as a fabulous deep blue that I just couldn't turn away from.  For materials I chose vintage jewelry findings, soft feather pads and big full bloom flowers, coordinating birdcage veils for brides AND their bridesmaids, and petite bridal cocktail hats for something a little different.

I can't wait for the upcoming photo shoot with Rosemary Photography.  Rose is an amazingly talented wedding photographer from Seattle who also crafts amazing vintage portraits.  She is a dear friend and I'm over the moon, just absolutely thrilled, to be working with her on this!  I know she'll make these pieces come to life!
