Recent pretties {A bridal shoot, new necklaces + boutonnieres}

Taking a little break from the blogging world allows me to get a bit more shop orders done, shipped out and have more family time. I will be back in the "swing of things" sometime soon but for now, I'm enjoying the time I get to step back and not have to get so much done.

Today, I'm sharing a few recent pretties that have made new homes and a sneak peek of one of a few new photo shoots featuring pieces from Love Sparkle Pretty.

I am so happy to have collaborated with Marilyn Duvall Photography for this bridal shoot featuring a handmade lace cap from the shop. She's such a talented photographer based in Texas. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos from this shoot!

P.S. I will also be adding another NEW bridal cap very soon!!

The new hand painted feather necklaces are now available here in the shop. This burnt orange one is on its way to its home in Australia.

The fabric rosette necklaces (will be available again soon) made their way to a sweet returning customer in Germany. Thank you Melanie!!

The gold boho-inspired headpiece is going to South Carolina. This piece has been quite popular in the shop. I am loving the boho style right now and I can see that many others are too. I have a few more of these to create and send off this week.

With the cooler seasons approaching, I have been creating more fall/winter pieces for weddings such as this custom woodland-inspired order of boutonnieres. These adorable bouts are for a December wedding in New York and I'm so excited to see all of the details come together for this event!

Right now, these are only available by custom order. 

 Speaking of boutonnieres, I stumbled upon these wedding photos from a wonderful Canadian bride I worked with a few months ago. She contacted me to create her boutonnieres, corsage pins as well as a couple hair clips (including the bride's) for her big day (see the past post about it here).

She was so sweet and the greatest part was, I was her very first Etsy order! It always makes me happy to know that I am someone's "first order". Being a part of a great handmade site, there are so many other talented shops to choose from but to place your trust in my shop as your first experience, means a lot. I still remember my first Etsy order too!

As a gift, I sent her a bracelet I created just for her. I used pearls on a silver chain and a locket to match the key boutonnieres. I was so happy to find out that she even wore the bracelet on her big day! This makes my heart happy.

Thank you so much Jennifer for your kindness and support of my shop. I truly appreciate you!

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.

{enjoy}

See lots more of their gorgeous wedding here.

Getting Married? New Boutonnieres!!

I have been trying to add more wedding accessories to the shop because I LOVE weddings and being able to be a part of someones special day.
Makes me HAPPY.
So, I have created a few new boutonniere pieces (with new bridal pieces coming later this month). I handmade each one using different items such as soft feathers, little "berry" twigs, burlap fabric, vintage inspired keys, and pretty ribbon and twine. All of the details of each can be seen within the link below each piece. If you or someone you know is getting married, I would love to create these pieces (or custom pieces) for your wedding and I have shipped all over the world!
