Special Post: Emmaline Bride

Have you heard of Emmaline Bride before?

I was first introduced to this amazing handmade haven by the photographer that we used when I was pregnant, and then for our newborn and 1st birthday photo shoots - Rosina di Trolio...probably going back 2 years now?

Anyhow! You're looking at one of the newest preferred handmade artisans in The Marketplace on Emmaline Bride!

I'm absolutely thrilled and have been sitting on it over the weekend, just waiting to announce to you all!

What can you expect to find?

Beautiful handmade rings for your bridesmaids

Delicately hand sculpted corsages and brooches for the mothers of the bride-and-groom

Gorgeous handpainted guestbooks

Hilarious and handmade photo booth props

I'm so proud to be included as a preferred handmade artist, and look forward to working with all of you inspired brides to make your wedding extra special!

Y3W Friday: {Paper} Faces on Parade

Masquerade!
Every face a different shade.
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!

That's right! This week, I was asked by a lovely photographer to create a mask for an upcoming wedding shoot that she has in the fall.

An amazing opportunity for some really awesome, hand painted designs! I've created them out of a satin mask form, painted with high quality and non toxic artist acrylics, them embellished with a variety of powdered glitters, metallic paint, feathers, gems, ribbons and pearls.

Here's a sneak peek of what I've been creating!


~Snow Princess~


~Bubblegum Cutie~


~Black Widow~


~Autumn Goddess~ this is the mask that will be going to the wedding shoot


~Ice Queen~

So...what do you think?! I've got to say, I'm absolutely in love with them!

Masks will come in two styles; Couture and Basic. The Couture masks will be embellished with feathers, gems, glitter, handpainted designs and ribbons. The Basic masks will be handpainted with optional glitter and gems.

They're all so different and wonderful, and I definitely will be doing a GIVEAWAY for a custom Couture Magnificent Mask in a few weeks!

What was your week like? Can you sum it up in three(ish) words?? Link up with my girl Jenni!

Pretty Pictures and Whimsical Weddings

There are two things that I've been focusing on over the past week or so are two categories of new products.

Pretty Pictures - photography props

Whimsical Weddings - cake toppers, favour boxes and cones, fun wedding embellishments

I'd like to unveil a few to you now, namely my new monogrammed cake toppers for weddings (because I think that they are just beautiful, and simple, and elegant, and unique)



Monogrammed with bride and groom's initials



Simple and sweet...I Do...

I have been having a great time just running with my creativity, thinking back to my own wedding and about what I would have done differently.

The other focus, Pretty Pictures, has been alot of fun to create. I've been working with a few photographers on cute sayings, speech bubbles, thought bubbles, even small banners for engagement, maternity, newborn and wedding shoots.

Here are a few of my favourites



For an outdoor cowboy and cowgirl themed shoot



For an engagement shoot



For maternity and newborn shoots

I adore them! Working with photographers has really opened up a whole new world (Queue Aladdin and Jasmine...) of products and creativity that I hadn't thought about before.

Are you a photographer or have a photo shoot coming up with your fiance, baby, husband, kids, parents? Keep Sweet Stella's in mind for your paper props! Everything from hanging decor to be strung from trees to cupcake toppers for a fun and retro picnic! Banners galore in whatever you need them to say...in retro and funky or classic and beautiful bachgrounds.
