Bonne Bouquet In Jewel Tones

Lovely bride, Tricie wanted her bouquet to stand out in lovely jewel tones, which complemented her color motif.

I asked the bride to include trinkets, jewelry and brooches of her own as her something old and something borrowed.  

Gown by Mel Orlina.

Bonne Bouquet for Heidi

My third Bonne bouquet was made as a gift for one lovely bride.  Her friend Roxane, (who also gave Bonne bridal head pieces for her two other friends see here) commissioned a bouquet set in powder blue and gray tones with bejeweled brooches.

I was happy to receive her sweet email along with beautiful photos from her wedding.

 I think it's cool that she opted for a gray wedding gown by Mel Orlina -- quite unconventional, especially in our very conservative Filipino culture.

Bonne Bride Boogie!

I love themed weddings and this 50's wedding takes the cake for me:)  The lovely bride, Sam went all out with an LP as wedding invite, 3 costume changes and had headpieces made for her entourage in bubblegum pink and aqua blue.  Oddly, the pieces were inspired by Marie Antoinette, but fit the theme perfectly. You can take a closer look here.  I also love how the guests were into the whole 50's vibe by coming in full 50's attire.

Congratulations Sam and Mauie. Boogie woogie till your golden wedding anniversary!

Bonne Bride: Rose

I have to commend the lovely lady,  Roxane Almario,  who had two headpieces made as gifts for two of her girlfriends.  She also did the DIY wedding invites and doubled as a photographer at the wedding of one of her girlfriends, Rose.  The wedding was held last March 8, 2012 in San Francisco, California.  

Here are some of the photos by Roxane:

Bonne Bride: Joyce

I do love to sew, in sickness and in health.

I was taken ill a few months ago and had to stay at home under complete bed rest.  The only thing I could do to keep my mind off of getting sick was read, catch up on old movies and sew (with my doctor's permission, of course).

Here is one of the pieces I made for a lovely bride who was married last February 11, 2012.  Thank you Joyce for keeping me busy in bed and for sending me your lovely wedding photos.

Bride Goes Bananas

A touch of quirky adds personality to Punky & Mark's wedding. Although this  couple is mad for monkeys and bananas, they complemented the quirky details with a classic gown and suit. The bride asked me to make a simple birdcage veil as she didn't want it to overpower her beaded dress.  Here's the close up shot from my previous blog. Also, here's a detailed feature on RebelliousBrides.com :)
