Leaves are finally starting to show themselves on the trees here in Vermont. Such a soothing sight. I've missed them. They remind me to pause for a moment in the midst of all the different projects I'm elbow deep in right now. I haven't posted in about a month mainly because I've been posting away on Sweet Violet Bride. It has taken more effort than I ever imagined to make my dream of a wedding blog a reality, but it is starting to take shape and I've had the pleasure of featuring some amazing photographers and gorgeous weddings, styled shoots, and engagement sessions already!
In my studio, I've had so many ideas for woodland bridal pieces and wish there were 48 hours in a day, but I've started laying them all out for production. I've been seeking out vintage millinery materials, such as leaves and stamens for a beautiful couture look. Here is a little glimpse of some of the bits and pieces I am working on. Check my etsy shop soon, to see some brand new creations for this lovely wedding season!

    About Me

    I started making hair crowns after I was married in August, 2011 when I made one for my own wedding. I fell in love with the materials and the process. I design, make, model, photograph and ship each item that leaves my home studio.

    I started my first Etsy shop, Nature Inspires (jewelry), in 2010 and then opened the Woodland Bridal shop in September, 2011. Until recently, these were both part-time endeavors, but I am now attempting to be a full-time flower crown & jewelry artist. I also run Sweet Violet Bride - a nature inspired wedding blog.

    Fun Facts:

    I grew up in a family of visual artists, and being creative is as necessary as breathing to me.
    I spent my college days hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and then
    spent a few years as a glacier guide, naturalist and trail guide in Juneau, Alaska, where my love of nature flourished. I also have an MFA in Creative Writing and currently live in Vermont with my husband and two cats, Luke and Leia.
