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.

Light vs Dark styled photoshoot featuring accessories from Love Sparkle Pretty.

I was recently asked to create some accessories for a photoshoot with the theme of feathers and "Light vs Dark." My friend Kayla of Kayla V Photography is the mastermind behind these beautiful photos! I love how this concept turned out and Amanda Child was the perfect model for this look and Melanie Honeyblossom did an amazing job with the makeup!

I had so much fun creating pieces with feathers and using other items such as vintage buttons for the rings. :) All accessories but the white headband were handmade in my craft room and I'm so happy to see them in these awesome photos!

Take a look & ENJOY!

{Leave some love if you will}

New Feather Fascinators :)

I {love love love} feathers! I'm sure that's easy to tell though ;)
With the craft show that actually took place this morning/afternoon, I wanted to create some new pieces to reveal. Among many new arrivals, I designed a few new feather fascinators this past week!

Here are some of the new beauties!

{Enjoy}

This Teal, Black, & Silver fascinator was created using a black turkey marabou feather, teal saddle feathers, a spotted guinea feather, silver sparkley leaves, and an antique silver and teal button! It was all secured to a bobby pin for easy attachment and assembling to all hairstyles.



This little lovely peacock fascinator was created using white saddle feathers, rooster tail feathers, a beautiful peacock eye feather, and a vintage-inspired brooch! It was all then secured to an antique brass hair comb and looks sooo elegant when pinned in the hair.


I love this next feather fascinator! I created it using a dark grey ostrich plume, light pink goose coquille feathers, a spotted guinea feather, and a vintage-inspired brooch. I also attached this fascinator to an antique brass hair comb which makes it easy to pin into the hair.


This peacock butterfly, a version of the piece--WINGS, is actually a part of a custom order I am creating for 9 bridesmaids in a wedding that will be taking place in Pennsylvania on Oct. 29, 2011! They are all going to be created with alligator clips on the back so they can wear them attached to their sashes during the wedding and later, worn in their hair! :)

Wedding pictures from the feather projects I created!!

The last big project I did was for a bride and her wedding full of feathers! I made her bouquet, maid of honor's bouquet, toss bouquet & 3 boutonniere's for her groom, the best man & her father. I posted about it all right --->here if you haven't seen to blog post :)

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! :)}
