Newest Pieces Made! Crafty, Crafty!

I have been working on a couple new projects and just wanted to share a little post on them :)I have received a few orders for some June weddings and finished a custom piece using magnolia petals, ivory chiffon, ivory french veiling, feathers, and a crystal broach.


This was originally part of a piece called HAILEY--Modeled by my beautiful friend Crystal :) I created the flower by itself though instead of attached to a "halo" and I love it! I'm so excited to see photos of the beautiful bride that I created this piece for!  I am also currently working on 6 boutonnieres for another June wedding using the colors Blue/Lavender, light gray, and blush for the color palette. I can't wait to finish these because these are going to be beautiful! I love the colors that were chosen! :)  I also have another custom wedding hairpiece for a wedding in August. The color palette will be ivory with a bit of light pink for an accent (love the light fabric I have for this piece!) A birdcage veil will also go with this piece and a post will be on it's way about this one. :)  Yesterday, I received--and completed an order for a prom hairpiece--which so happens to be this friday in North Carolina! Usually, I don't take on custom orders with such a short period of time to complete but I did (& so happy I did!). It turned out so beautifully and was made to match the dress that will be worn (which is STUNNING btw). I created this piece with ivory magnolia petals, 3 types of lace, aqua & ivory feathers, aqua blue chiffon fabric, gray/silver satin, and a bunch of different beads that I sewn to the center. These beads match the bits of beaded detail on the dress. :) I can't wait to see photos soon of the dress and hairpiece together! :) I ALSO made a new necklace (just about done). I call this one {VintageTresures} & I LOVE it!!!! This will be available SOON in the Love Sparkle Pretty Shop  Anywho, I still have a couple more orders to complete as well so I shall go and start those too :) Let me just say though, that I LOVE what I do! When I get to create something for somebody else who really loves it as well, it makes me so happy! THANK YOU!!!  {Have a BEAUTIFUL day!}

Lots of new items arriving to the shop very soon!

I have been working really hard on creating new items for the shop which is why my inventory available is so low on Etsy. I am just waiting for my last package to arrive to my door step so I can start posting all these goodies! Here's a preview of some new pieces!

...Oh! but first! I JUST created a Facebook page for Love Sparkle Pretty (finally) & will be sharing updates, new items, coupon codes and giveaways!

Here's a sneak peek :)

Petite Flowers

I recentently created small flower hairpieces for a friend. She asked for smaller ones so that when she gives them as gifts, her friends can wear them on a daily basis. Since I knew they were all nursing students too, our scrubs are {maroon} and I figured, why not add a bit of {maroon} to each one to match our scrubs? Makes sense since we are wearing them every week! So, that's what I did! :)

These little beauties were created with ranuncula petals, hydrangea petals, cherry blossom as well as little daisy petals.

Each flower had a touch of {sparkle} added with a rhinestone for the center and glitter leaves. So cute & with each one about 2-2.5" around, so petite! :)

These can also be created on elastic headbands for little girls or leave them as is--on an alligator clip!

How about you? Would you rather wear a large flower in your hair or a smaller one?

7 {Pretty} Things on Sunday

For this week's
7 {Pretty} Things on Sunday,
my inspiration comes from
{Pretty} Hair.
It's fun to be girl! Especially when we get to get all dolled up and lovely...even if it's just to make {ourselves} feel beautiful for a moment :)
Creating a gorgeous hairstyle-from simple to detailed-can make the world's of difference on our self esteem.
Here are some PRETTY hairstyles I have found and hopefully, they shed a little light on your day and give you a bit of inspiration for your next hairstyle.

Love the simplicity of high buns.

Pretty little bow & loose waves

The low braid updo is adorable!

I wish I could do this to my own hair! :)

Love her bangs! :)

LOOONG hair=LOVE

Messy bun...so pretty & yet seems so effortless :)
