SAFIEH AND CHARLES

Hello! 

How is Spring treating you?

This was one of my favorite pieces I’ve worked on.  

Safieh and Charles were married in Paris on Eastern weekend. They celebrated their first anniversary last month - Congratulations!.  

The bride wanted something inspired from their whimsical save-the-date designed by Gooseberry press.  Simple and elegant with a touch of old French.  The couple’s initials were hand embroidered on linen with vintage silk thread. Oh, and I loved that Safieh was up for a little shimmer.

Spring is in the air!

These new cuties are on their way to M29 Lifestyle shop in DC just in time for the National Cherry Blossom Festival!  

The Somei Yoshino blossom was the inspiration. 

The centers are embellished with beads and 1940’s stems with gold tips .

I LOVE these colors together!  xx

SARA AND JAMES

Oh, I just love sewing silhouettes of little loved ones. Sadie, a cute Maltese (and a diva, I hear) was the muse for this project.  Since she was not allowed in the church to walk the pillow down the aisle, the couple wanted to have her there in spirit and fabric.  Sara thought of the design concept down to the collar with flowers, and I was happy to create it! 

The color palette was gunmetal, pewter and blush with an all-white reception.  The mood for the wedding:  modern, sparkly with DIY touches.

Sarah and James celebrated their 1 year anniversary this past New Year’s Eve. Congratulations!!

Decorated over 80 cookies for my son’s class this morning. Anything involving color painting and some sugar makes me very happy.

BLACK AND ELEGANT

Happy 3 Kings day!

Hope your holiday season was wonderful and smooth.

Here’s a beautiful piece designed for the lovely couple, Kate and Fred.  It has ranunculus and poppies with vintage embellishment with a little bit of glitter.  The save-the-date card was the inspiration for the design.  I love how the pinks and reds look against the black ground.  

Stationary:  Kate designed the cards

SUMMER OF LOVE

Hello lovely people!

I know It’s been a while.  Sorry about that.  But don’t worry I’ll make it up to you this season.  ;-)  So, today I’m sharing photos of not one but TWO lovely ring pillows!

Colleen and Ron had a June wedding out in Eastern Long Island.  The couple met at a mutual friend’s birthday party and began dating that very night (call that love at first sight!). 

They enjoy traveling, love all things NY and it’s history, and museums, especially the Museum of Natural History.  Ron proposed while they were visiting the Hamptons (they love those windmills), which was also the site of their wedding.
