Bridesmaid gifts...

At the request of the bride, I have designed three rings for her bridesmaids. Something pretty but not to large, something to connect the bridesmaids with the styling of the Bride, a small gift to show her appreciation of three of the women that will stand by her side during this special event.

In true Retro Betty style, each ring is similar to the others but is unique and different from the rest. In between delicate and couture, each ring is the perfect small size statement for each of the bridesmaids to accompany the brides flavor for vintage.

And so... the button and brooches have arrived, I have met with the bride and begun work on the head piece and bouquet. I am so excited to have found the perfect variety of pieces that give that vintage touch with a hint of blue. The head piece will feature a three piece set of brooches with silver, rhinestones and antiqued pearls.

 While the bouquet will be adorned with over ONE HUNDRED button and brooches with antiqued pearls, silver, rhinestones in clear and Austrian blue tones.

Keeping with a Vintage theme, the headpiece will be designed to fit just in front of  the crown of the head, with a short nose length Audrey Hepburn inspired veil.

Busy, Busy, Busy..  designing, creating... next on the list perfect a wedding cake design and topper... then move on to the tie for the best man... it will look a little something like this....

And so a journey begins...

I have recently been asked to create multiple pieces for a wedding, the event to take place in July requires some  hunting for new vintage brooches for a brooch bouquet, a custom design for a veil and head piece, delicate and eloquent design for rings for the brides maids, two fancy custom boutonniere pins for the best man and her son, and decked out bow tie, Retro Betty style for the second son.

Honored- I am excited to be a part of this brides journey to a new life. A continued journey for Retro Betty into the bridal market, and an ongoing journey of creativity and design.

Follow as it unfolds- a tale of buttons, beauty and bestowal...
