We're in Weddingbells Magazine!

So a few months back, my little etsy shop was discovered by one of the editors at Weddingbells Magazine who contacted me about having my stuff in their next issue! I was a loyal reader of Weddingbells while planning my own wedding, and especially their website weddingbells.ca.

Their forums are such a great place to find information and see what other brides are doing and gather some good inspiration.

So I was completely thrilled when they asked me, so up to Toronto went some of my accessories for a big photo shoot. And then in July, there it was on news stands! The Fall/Winter Weddingbells Magazine, with little LouLouBell from Upper Tantallon in their pages! And in three different places throughout, including the Table of Contents! Awesome! Thank you Weddingbells, this was LouLouBell's first magazine appearance, and I couldn't be more happy for it to be one of my own favorite wedding magazines!

Purple Please

I love color. So it was a strange thing that I went through a number of years in my life where my wardrobe was a gloomy cloud of black, gray and navy. Last year I was happy to see purple make a comeback in the shops and I added about 10 purple pieces to my closet. I think purple can be an any-season color (i'm no expert though, what do I know?) What I do know, is that I really like purple. I pick up remnants now and again of fabrics that I see that I really like and when I went into my stash last week I noticed that there were accidentally all these shades of purple and silver piled neatly together. So it inspired me to work on this set above and I'm hoping to carry some of these at the upcoming shows this winter.

Classic Wedding

One of my favorite parts of being a small business owner is getting to work directly with my customers. I have had the honor of putting together many orders for brides over the past years, and it is always so nice to help design a custom order and be a little part of their big day.

This is my latest custom order for an upcoming wedding. The bride is going with black, gold and cream as her colors. I had such a great time designing with this color scheme. Classy! I'm sure her big day will be just gorgeous!

Congratulations Jessica!

And these were what I came up with to match her vision.

These little flowers include vintage buttons from my Nan's button jar.


Glass beads give these flowers a little shimmer...
