Yes, I have an addiction




I have finally come to terms with my addiction and how I can deal with it.


I love crafting, I love designing, I love fabric flowers. I love weddings and I love brides. They are the happiest people on earth, and I want to be a part of that happy feeling.

I cannot stop making fabric flowers, and now I've started adding feathers, and soon I'm making a trip to the flea market to find vintage findings, buttons - anything that makes me say "I could make something with that".

So how can I deal with my addiction? Here's what I've been thinking. Are you a bride? First off, many congratulations and take lots of deep breaths. Relaxation is the key. Are you a bride on a budget? You are not alone. Are you a bride who cannot stop looking at all the bridal blogs out there? You've just looked at your hundredth blog - you've got more than a hundred ideas of what you want. And then that vintage hair accessory, or that adorable simple centerpiece, or that ceremony fan to keep your guests cool at your destination wedding, catches your eye - and THAT's what you want.

BUT - and this is the important part - you don't have the time, the patience, the
resources to do it all yourself. You know what you want - but you want someone to do it for you, exactly the way you want, without blowing the budget on custom designs.

I can do that. I can be your DIY partner. You come up with the blog and the idea, let me know how you want to include your own special touches, and I'll re-create your vision. I'll listen to every single idea you have, steer you back to the right path if you get overwhelmed or lost in the bridal blog world, let you know if it's something I just cannot do, and perhaps even find a way to do it.

What I do:

Invitation suites - seen a great invitation design but can't afford the price? I can design something similar, or can create a simple original design. I also have a couple of great letterpress guys close by who won't ask for an arm, a leg and your firstborn child in payment (or at the very least you won't have to skip the honeymoon because the invites blew the budget).

Fabric flowers for just about anything - hair accessories for you and your bridesmaids; bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces.

Centerpieces - in boxes, vases, baskets, galvanized steel, brushed steel, candles in vases and votives.

And more - Guest cards, escort cards, ceremony programs.

But wait, there's even more........ no seriously. It all starts with YOU and that DIY project you found on a blog - send it to me. I'll see how I can re-create it especially for you. And I'll keep my prices within your budget (I do negotiate!)

Check in again soon as I introduce you to some of my most recent wedding projects and the latest additions to my fabric floral designs. Can't wait to hear from you!
