Real Wedding-featuring Feathered Boutonnieres from {Love Sparkle Pretty}

I love when people give me their ideas to bring to life because I get to create something that I may not have made otherwise. A while back, Lin (a bride-to-be at the time) contacted me about creating something new for her wedding day. Together, we created completely customized boutonnieres for her groom and groomsmen using a pretty color combo of feathers and crystal brooches. The crystal brooches were actually sent to me via snail mail from Lin which she already had and wanted me to incorporate them into the boutonnieres. This new design plan of her boutonnieres came out oh so {pretty} and are still one of my favorite pieces yet! I shared the boutonnieres in this post a while back when I finished them and Lin just recently sent me a few photos of her wedding day. It looked like so much fun and she made such a beautiful bride!

Here is what she had to say about Love Sparkle Pretty.

"I am very particular in what I like and Kayla nailed the design swiftly after I showed her my wedding color palette. The boutonnieres turned out exactly how I have envisioned and the execution is exquisite. It is obvious she is passionate at what she does and her work will definitely make my big day a little more beautiful with no doubt." -Lin

These are some of the photos taken by Bill McDad on Roel & Lin's wedding day.

Something Blue Boutonniere

I woke up bright and early this morning thankful that fall is finally in the air! I was ready to greet this day with a smile! :)
With a cup of hot cocoa in hand, I finished my nursing school application (it will be submitted in the morning) & then I started on a new little project because I just felt creative for a moment.
I created a cute little boutonniere for a wedding & I call it the

{Something Blue for the Groom}

{Enjoy}

I used a white goose biot feather, marabou feathers, white rooster tail feathers, dusty blue satin ribbon, brown twine, and a pearl pin to secure to the groom's wardrobe.







I also posted this boutonniere on my Etsy Shop and is ready for order.

I was so happy to see that the wedding turned out beautifully and my creations could be a part of Samantha & Joey's big day! :)

Feathers!!!

This past weekend I was a lucky girl to have had the opportunity to create bouquets & boutonnieres for a beautiful wedding! They weren't the average floral arrangements though, they were made entirely out of white feathers--Goose Biots, Saddle Feathers, Marabou Feathers, Turkey Feathers, and Rooster Tail Feathers made up the galore of feathery creations!! The bride and her mother contacted me about a month ago in hopes that I can create their vision of an all feather bouquet and from there came we came up with the ideas for the rest of the wedding party! The color theme was black and white with hints of red and zebra print for the wedding and I used the zebra print in the brides bouquet as well as the grooms boutonniere to match.

The brides bouquet was the largest and most extravagant of all which is definitely suitable for her big day right? :) I also included crystals around the bouquet which are subtle but gorgeous in the sunlight!



I also made a mini version of the brides bouquet (without crystals) for the toss to all of the single ladies :)




For the maid of honor's bouquet, an all white color theme was chosen to go with her black and zebra print dress :)



The boutonnieres were chosen to be worn by the brides father, best man, & of course-the groom! :)


By the time I was done with all of these pieces, I looked like a "plucked turkey" according to my husband! :) The view of me sitting in a chair with white feathers on the floor all around me and the feathers sticking to my shirt, my hair, & who knows where else is pretty funny to think about but even though it was messy, it was so much fun to do! Thank you again Carrie & Samantha for giving me the opportunity to create cherished pieces for the beautiful wedding! I wish Samantha and Joey the best!
{With the permission of the bride, I will also post pictures of the wedding day with all of the bouquets and boutonnieres soon! :)}
