Hair Flowers

I love the look of flowers in my hair - whether heading out shopping, out for dinner or going out on the town. What I don't like is...bees! Guess what - not a bee in sight when you wear clay flowers in your hair!

I have honestly worn my gardenia more days than not in the last year - I think it is becoming my signature flower! So delicate and fragrant in nature, but so durable and everlasting in clay! Lilies are also so delicate from Mother Nature - they never last the day let alone a big night out of dancing! Roses are another good choice for hair flowers - so many different colours and combinations. Eco-Chic and Scent-free!

If you are getting married, would like to give a special gift to the bride...or want to treat yourself to a hair flower, please contact me!

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!

Wrist Corsages for Weddings

With so many "special guests" at a wedding, it is a very thoughtful gesture to honour them with their own flowers. Clay flower corsages are a perfect gift for the special people in your lives not only on the day of your wedding, but as a keepsake of this special day.

Here are an assortment of wedding corsages, complete with a pearl wristlet (just to make it a bit fancier!). Even the most delicate blossoms like gardenias, peonies, roses and poppies can be transformed into beautiful, everlasting wedding corsages!

A Clay Flower Bouquet

I am posting this shot because I wanted to show you how realistic the clay flowers can look! I think they look very real, cello wrapped and ready to go! These single rose stems are going to a wedding, to be handed out to some special guests as part of the ceremony, one by one. There won't be a dry eye in the church. The victorian garden roses have more of a ruffled center - perfect and elegant. Best wishes to Jessica and Martin on their wedding day and always!

Bridal Hair Flowers

How lovely to have a hair flower on your special day! Through the beauty of clay flowers, you can have the most delicate flowers hand-designed for you! Gardenia...peony...poppy...you name it!

Today I bumped into a young woman that I haven't seen for a couple of years and she is getting married in 16 days (and counting)! She has beautiful, wavy red hair and we agreed that a clay flower would be a stunning, finishing touch to her updo and veil! Thanks for the chat, Andrea. You will love this flower on your wedding day - don't forget to pack it in your honeymoon luggage too!

There are several backings for hair flowers - U-shaped pin, alligator clip or barrette bar. Hair stylists prefer the U-shaped pin, so they can skillfully attach it into the hair securely. Prices range from $15-$25 per blossom. The hair flowers are between 3-4" in diameter. Please contact me directly for more details or to order.

A Gerbera Daisy

I made this gerbera daisy a couple of days ago out of DecoClay and looking over the photos, it is one that makes me happy! No special reason for posting, just thought you might enjoy it. Looking for Spring (even though it is mid-Feb).

I also thought with the tiffany blue background that this is a lovely colour combination for a spring/summer wedding....maybe a hairclip? or part of a cake topper?

There are so many uses for DecoClay flowers...in arrangements, home decor, scrapbooking and hair flowers! Enjoy.
