Fall Roses

Aren't these roses gorgeous? I snagged these at work after they were used for a wedding. They are called 'circus' roses. They are bright yellow and orange in the middle kissed with red at the edges. Makes me even more ready for fall!!

In the Mood for Autumn

Here are a few of my new fall hair pieces along with some inspiration pictures that I found on Anthropologie's website.

To purchase the hair pieces seen here, please go to my etsy shop at ekaminsk.etsy.com

Congrats, Mom!!

Recently, my Mom was selected out of 700 people to be featured on Martha Stewart's website for having One of the Best Sewing Projects in 2010. Sixteen projects made it including her yummy cupcake pin cushions! Click HERE to visit her beautiful Etsy store.

West Virginia Artisans

WOW...I have not written on this thing in a really long time and just now realized it! Time is flying by! I recently finished three boutonnieres, three hair pieces, and three floral arrangements for an adorable shop that just opened at Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia called WV Marketplace. The store showcases beautiful items designed and made by local artists and craftsmen such as pottery, jewelry, food items, wedding accessories, soaps, baskets, and much more. It is a flagship store of WV Living Magazine and WV Weddings Magazine (the mag I'm currently featured in). The store is showcasing local talent as well as trying to encourage more people to buy locally rather than purchasing products made out of the country. I really want to thank Nikki, owner and editor of WV Living and WV Weddings, for letting me be apart of this fabulous store!!

Isn't it cute?

Bouquet Designs

Here is a little portfolio of past wedding bouquets that I have designed and are made of artificial/preserved materials.

Vintage Inspired Hair Piece

I recently designed a hair piece for an Australian bride made with dark hues of black, gray, and amber. I think it turned out beautifully so I wanted to share it with you. Materials include: 1950's vintage amber aurora brooch pin, vintage black millinery silk cupped rose, black velvet hydrangea blossoms, velvet charcoal, black, and brown millinery leaves, light brown feathers, trimmed peacock eyes, and black vintage lace appliques. Enjoy!!
