A Winter Wedding


I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of the thai silk bridal clutches I did for a wedding that will be in January.

It was a pleasure to work with the Matron of Honor (who is also my wonderful hair stylist) on these bags, and I look forward to seeing the pictures of them "in action."

I made the rosettes that adorn the top of the clutches out of the same silk as the bags, and coordinating organza to add texture. It was definitely a learning process, but I'm glad I took the time because now I can't wait to make them for other things like headbands and scarves. The insides of the smaller rosettes are filled with champagne colored Swarvoski crystals that add a subtle sparkle, and in the center of the large rosette is a dark platinum colored bead surrounded by the same crystals.

The inside of the bride's bag is the same chocolate brown silk as the bridesmaids bags and visa versa which gives the edging a nice contrast.



I am so thankful for the opportunity to design these bags and can't wait for the next wedding!
