My latest custom order on Etsy

I do love custom orders, as give me new colour & design ideas. And I love the challenge and the opportunity to bring my customers ideas a live.

First always starting with a few conversation messages via Etsy.
Sometimes I receive photos from the dress.
It's help me to create a more suitable flower for the occasion.
Here is the photo of the wedding dress I have received for my latest order.

After a thoughtful consideration, I send the links for the design, if I haven't been advised by my customers what design they like to have...

...and for the colours choice, I send some links from my existing listings...I was thinking of this colour for the silver petals...

...for the ivory, the middle petals on this flowers...
...for the gold I think this taffeta would be the best...


...and I will put a hint of soft pink like this one...


...but I wasn't sure about the gold taffeta, and I made some gold organza petals too...
...I have the fabrics ready for cutting the petals out by hand and singe it after one by one...


...usually I make one or two design to choose from, here they are...


...after my customer, Ashley chooses the second design with the gold organza, I made a customer listing for her...

If you would like to order a custom piece, please send me a message via my shops, Etsy, Zibbet, DaWanda and ArtFire.
