Rosy for Rosettes

I am rosy for rosettes! I hope I will not be forever dubbed the "flower lady!"

Rosettes are so beautiful and so easy to make! And they are everywhere these days! Check out my do-it-yourself instructions from a few posts back and try them out yourselves!  Put them on shirts, cardigans,  necklaces, headbands, clutches, bags, and more!

Here are some of my new items I made with these quick & easy-- yet oh so classy rosettes!


And here is my most recent order:  6 rosette necklaces for an upcoming wedding!  The bride sent me a swatch of the bridesmaids dresses so I could match the color of the necklaces to the dresses.


So now . . .
go out,
be inspired, 
and create!

And the winner is. . . .

Drum roll please....

The winner of Ellice Inspired's first ever giveaway is. . . . 



SWEET HARVEY of Sweet Harvey Letterpress LCC!

Hope you love your new necklace!


Sorry if you were not a winner this time! I will be hosting another giveaway soon!

Wedding Boutineer Photos!!

Hi ya'll!! A few posts back, I posted my wedding boutineers I created & shipped out for a Chicago wedding.  For the past few months I have been anxiously awaiting pictures of the big day.

And TODAY, the groom sent me some of the pictures from his vintage inspired wedding!  The couple, Gena & Andy look like such a fun hipster couple--- and their wedding seemed just the same!
What an experience! I feel so honored to have been able to create something for such a special day :) 

Photos are by James Julius, a Chicago vintage wedding photographer.
Check out more pictures from the big day & my boutineers at his blog.

Here are just a few pictures that show off the boutineers I made for the groom & groomsmen.











































Cheers to the beautiful couple!!

Sold! Wedding Boutineers!

Yay!!!! I sold 3 of my boutineers for a Chicago wedding coming up in May (individuals whom I do not know but purchased through my etsy page).

I had so much fun making them!  It is so exciting and humbling to think that the groom and groomsmen will actually be wearing something I made on such a special day-- or you can say the most important day of the bride & groom's life. 

I hope they love love love them. Hopefully I will be able to get pictures of how the boutineers looked on the guys on their big day.
