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!

Vintage style birdcage veil for Meagan's wedding

Wedding season has begun and already brides are contacting me for veils and feathers for next year. I have found over the years that the vintage style cage veil is still very popular as brides are looking for something fresh and different. Here's a style that suits everyone and can be worn in a variety of ways from cocked to the side or straight up. I added satin rolled roses and feathers to give this piece a soft vintage quality. Meagan was one beautiful bride who went for the birdcage and she looked fabulous.

Here's what she had to say,
"Dear Alice, I wanted to thank you for the beautiful veil and flower you made for me. It was exactly what I had envisioned and I got so many compliments..It made the outfit! Thanks you so much. "Meagan Cameron


Meagan also wanted something to wear in her hair for the after ceremony and chose a fun feather flower. These flowers are light and airy and really add something to the ensemble.

Angela's wedding

What a pleasure to create a veil for a bride who wanted a unique look with an unusual color palette. What a beautiful color combination of burgundy and chartreuse..I love it!

The veil piece I designed was made up of handmade silk roses, green peacock hairs, burgundy feathers and dot veiling. I think it worked beautifully placing it on the side of the head. Thanks Angela.

Here's what Angela had to say:
"Thank you very much for working so hard to bring my wedding day vision to life. You're extremely talented and I love that I was able to meet you. Thanks again. "
