I was feeling autumn inspired and have created a couple pieces for the Etsy shop that would be lovely for a fall or winter wedding... plus they are ready to ship! Enjoy and Happy Weekend!

Introducing :: Naturals :: Vegan and Eco-friendly Twigs & Honey

Posted on | Friday, April 24, 2009 | 6 Comments

I got a great comment on my blog the other day from The Veganista:
"I just discovered your designs. They're great! Perhaps you could do a couple of vegan designs with non-silk/feather accessories? I feel so inspired to put something in my hair!"

I have actually already been making vegan and eco-friendly pieces in my collections, but I guess I never formally went all out. My past and current pieces have included cotton only and non-feather pieces, but I thought now would be a great time to formally create a line specifically catering to both vegan and environmentally conscientious brides and clients.

I'm happy to introduce Twigs & Honey Naturals, with the first piece, Fields:

Fields is made with hand cut and pressed hemp/organic cotton fabric (55% hemp, 45% organic cotton). It is attached to a gold plated wire comb. Lovely and stylish... modern and chic... vegan friendly AND it is made with environmentally sustainable materials! Hooray! I'll be dropping the first of the Twigs & Honey Naturals collection off to the English Dept. in Portland, OR today along with these other pieces:

Hair combs, belts, and a "Naturals" piece! I hear they are going quickly and are down to just one piece at the English Dept., not including this batch above. I'll be up in Portland to hand them off about 3-5pm today... head over quick after that to get a lovely piece!
More "Naturals" pieces will be available in my Etsy shop and the Twigs & Honey Online Store very soon! Please spread the word if you're a blogger... word of mouth is great too. ;) Thank you!

New piece and weekend recap

Posted on | Monday, November 24, 2008 | 4 Comments

Matt and I had a wonderful time chatting with brides and attendees to the Fall Bravo! Wedding Affair in downtown Portland. We accompanied our fabulous wedding photographers, Paul and Holly of Paul Rich Studio. Paul and Holly have had quite the year and it was great to view some of their gorgeous wedding albums. One twigs & honey hair piece was the raffle prize for a lucky winner and another lucky lady will be working with me on a custom hair piece, which was another raffle prize.

Matt and I also had a minute of fun visiting Paparazzi Tonight, who specialize in photo booths for wedding and special occasions. The photos are quick and fun and would be a blast for your wedding guests! The bonus is that they can be printed in mere seconds and later downloaded from home. Check out our pictures:

Very cool!

Like the hair piece I'm wearing? Well, I'm listing it in my Etsy shop for some special lady to enjoy! The day before the event, I knew I wanted to wear a hair piece and went back to an old favorite for inspiration, Marie Antoinette the movie. I was inspired by the film when planning our wedding and loosely based my wedding day hairstyle on those featured in the film. Over the weekend, I was particularly smitten with this look:

Here's what I came up with:

I was going to wear it on top of my head like Kirsten in the movie, but Matt poo poo'd that idea and said to wear it off to the side. :)

Check it out in my Etsy shop!

Thank you so much Paul & Holly! Also, thank you to all the brides at the Bravo! event. I had a wonderful time chatting with everyone!

Bravo! Wedding Affair :: Sunday, November 23rd

Posted on | Saturday, November 22, 2008 | No Comments

I'll be at the Bravo! Wedding Affair tomorrow, November 23rd from 11am-4pm. The event will be held at the Enbassy Suites Hotel in downtown Portland, OR. The Wedding Affair will include some of the best Portland has to offer if you are planning a wedding, from wedding planners, florists, wedding cakes, venues, and more! Our wedding photographers, Paul Rich Studio, will be one of the vendors in attendance. Matt and I will be at their table in the Conference Suites at Embassy Suites, which is on the ground floor. Please visit their table to view some of their beautiful albums and for your chance to win either a one of a kind twigs & honey hair adornment or a chance to win a free custom order. Another lucky winner will be getting a free engagement session with Paul Rich Studio! The Bravo! Wedding Affair is great because it's a more intimate setting with some of the best vendors for Oregon weddings. See you there!
