Many of the most interesting requests I have received over the years have been for ideas that were really important to my brides but because they were so "outside of the box" they couldn't find any designers willing or able to implement them.

Sometimes the challenge was fabricating their new idea (like the Limoge pill box ring cushion), other times it is making an odd color palette work (like the bride who wanted a sage green, burgundy, gold and peach colored money purse). Most often it was to simply create matching accessories by using fabric provided by the bride such as the purple basket and ring cushion set above made out of the same fabric as the bridesmaid gowns. The Swarovski crystal frog bouquet ornament and the crystal pineapple name card holders were both very unusual requests but so much fun to make!

I loved when brides contacted me with these unusual requests. The more interesting the challenge was the more it inspired me!

Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for visiting my web site.
