HOPPY EASTER!

Spring has Sprung! What a lovely weekend for Easter. We have seen so many bunnies frolicking through the backyard in the past few days. A lovely Easter/Birthday luncheon with family...lots of chocolate treats...a great time!

I put together this little clay flower collage of ranunculus, daffofils, daisies and hydrangeas to remind myself that the buds are about to bloom, spring IS coming and I hope you like this preview display.

Happy Spring - hope to see you at The Drake Hotel in Toronto next weekend for Indie Meets Couture!

Spring Wedding Show at The Drake Hotel, Toronto

I am thrilled to be showing the latest clay flower designs for weddings at The Spring Wedding Show at The Drake Hotel in Toronto. The tagline is so tasteful - "Where Indie Meets Couture"...Love It!

I have been feverishly working away at my Spring/Summer Wedding Collection of clay flowers and bridal accessories! Wait til you see what I have come up with this year. There will be items for sale as well as the opportunity to chat about custom work - there is such a wealth of talent at this show and I was so happy to be asked back. Catherine and her Wedding Co. team are real professionals.

If you are in Toronto on April 30th, you MUST go The Drake. (The day after the Royal Wedding...we'll have so much to talk about)....be sure to stop by and see me.

Indie Meets Couture Show - May 1st

Just back from the big city of Toronto - the ultra chic Drake Hotel where I exhibited in The Wedding Co. - Indie Meets Couture Spring Show. What a great experience - I truly enjoyed meeting the brides and showing them the clay flowers! I love to hear the reaction from those who have never seen clay blossoms before.

Interesting to see all of the 'wedding bloggers' come out to gather information, snap photos and inquire about clay flowers! If you are a blogger, or happen to see my work posted, PLEASE comment or send me a note at invitemecreative@rogers.com -- I really appreciate it! I look forward to hearing from you!

Catherine, Stephanie and the other Wedding Co. staff are the best! They are so professional and a pleasure to work and be associated with - great job ladies!

More people to thank and introduce you to in the next few posts - off to get some dinner and recount a wonderful spring day at the show!

Indie Meets Couture- The Spring Wedding Show

I am very excited to be a part of this Spring Wedding Show - showcasing clay floral creations (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, hair flowers) and wedding stationery (invitations, thank you notes, specialty stationery). If you are getting married and live in southern Ontario, this is a wedding show that you won't want to miss!

Join me on Saturday May 1st at The Drake Hotel from 10am - 4pm. Invite Me! Creative Announcements will have a booth in The Underground Lounge. Hosted by The Wedding Co., this "Indie Meets Couture" wedding show is for you if you are looking to infuse your wedding with some thing unconventional, chic or edgy...like clay flowers!

Local artisans and finest wedding businesses will be showcasing their talents in downtown Toronto. The Drake Hotel is a very chic venue for this event and will be giving away a bridal shower (valued at $500) to one lucky bride - why not let that be you?!

Hope to see you there!

The Wedding Co. Show in Toronto

I am so delighted to be a part of The Wedding Co. Show taking place in downtown Toronto this weekend! This is a fantastic show for any bride-to-be who wants to meet with upscale, unique vendors. I am very impressed with all of the booth presentations and the friendly vendors. So many unique and stunningly beautiful ideas for your all aspects of your wedding.

Great to also reconnect with a classmate from my days at Ryerson University. Catherine Langlois designs the most beautiful contemporary and romantic wedding gowns from her studio in Toronto http://www.catherinelanglois.com/

New this year was an area of the show called Handmade Stand. It spotlights Etsy Artisans, many from the Toronto area - some of the most talented! It is a great idea and attracted lots of attention from the brides. I featured a white hair gardenia that fit in well right along side other Etsy Artisans. I had lots of lovely compliments on the clay flowers and following the show, these items will be given away through draws - follow http://www.theweddingco.com/events/ for details. If you would like to see more hair gardenias and other examples of my clay flowers, please visit http://www.invitemecreative.etsy.com/

Back to designing - I have so many little sketches, swatches and colour combinations floating around in my head and in my sketch book - I hope you will like them!
