Roses say I do.





Why not stand out from the crowd with these
gorgeous, juicy handmade roses. These extra large roses are for a bride who wants to stand out and look fabulous. They are all handmade using ancient millinery techniques. Although the work is slow and laborious, the results are amazing. Not only is the craftsmanship outstanding but you can customize the size and color of the rose.

These large cabbage style roses have also been popular for the hair and can even be attached to a pin to add to a sash of a simple gown. They certainly make the dress unique. Here is a picture of roses I did in satin and organza silk for a bride who wanted something beautiful for the back of her hair. I think they're beautiful and so did she.




If these seem too large, 2" silk roses on a comb combined with feathers have also been very
popular to add that vintage appeal to your gown. And if that still seems a little big, you can always go smaller still with a single 2" rose on a bobby pin. Either way, you'll look fantastic!
