Wedding Wednesday: Frosted Dahlia's

When I think about winter, I immediately think about frost hitting the delicate petals of flowers that have yet to close up for the season.  The icy gloss...the shimmer and shine...

These delicate statement rings are sculpted out of a pearlized polymer clay, taking on the appearance of frost and oh so perfect for the bridesmaids at your wedding. They're simple and sweet, yet make a statement and are most definitely something that your girls will wear over and over again.

To coordinate with your maids, we can work with your wedding colours or a certain flower from your bouquet and sculpt it in the same pearl clay.

A beautiful statement for your wedding!

Wedding Wednesday: Blue Zinnia's

Take a beautiful model {Stephanie}, a beautiful horse {Nifty Nelson} and a stunning dress...what's missing? A gorgeous hair piece for the bride!

What I absolutely love about this piece is how whimsical it is.

Sculpted out of a turquoise blue clay, this layered Zinnia features pearl and white tendrils and a marbled centre. It is truly inspired, yet only 2.5" in diameter, so it doesn't take away from your stunning gown, or the gorgeous dresses of your bridesmaids.

Definitely worthy of your something blue, hairclips in white and pearl with a blue centre can be created for your bridesmaids to ensure your girls are coordinated with your fabulous look.

Have other colours on your radar? I can work with any colour scheme to give you something truly inspired for your big day!

Wedding Wednesday: Bridesmaid Gifts

If you're like me, you want to make sure that your wedding attendants {in most cases your absolutely bestest of best friends and your closest of close sisters} have the absolute best time at your wedding...right down to the personalized gift that you give them for the big day.

Incorporate their sense of style with your wedding colours, and give them a handsculpted ring on an antique adjustable ring base.

Wedding Wednesday: Sculpted Bridal Accessories

I've been in my studio alot lately...dreaming up some amazingly whimsical designs for brides. Oh...if only I could do it all over again! One of the things that I would most definitely change would be my hair.

Don't get me wrong, it was super pretty, but it was incredibly formal and it just didn't suit my artsy-fartsy personality.

To do it all again...

And for my girls...

I don't know why I didn't think about using my skills as an artist four years ago when we got married - I got crafty and made a few things here and there, but definitely could have gone all out when it came to whimsical designs to make our colours {black, white and lime} really pop. Can you imagine the white ruffle peony with a lime centre and some tendrils in my dark chocolate hair?! Amazing!
