A little Fairy Princess Garden Birthday Party

This summer I had the fun, excitement and challenge of putting together and pulling off a Fairy Princess Garden Birthday Party for my daughter who was turning 4.  She was very specific that she wanted her and her guests to wear fairy wings, so.... thats what they did!  It took hours to prepare but once I got into it, I couldn't stop!  There are just so many cute ideas! 
Heres what I made for the party... tutus (straight from my Pixie Dust Boutique shop), handmade boas (so cute and ohh so easy to make), butterfly banner (made from scrapbooking paper), paper pennant banner to accent the cake platter,  pinwheels (also made from scrapbooking paper), fairy wings (I made about six of them and swore I would never make another one but for one dilusional second I thought I could make and sell them in Pixie Dust Boutique), phew... I think that is it besides the food! So, here is her party in a nutshell!

We had tasty punch (made with ginger ale, juice and sherbet!)

A bit out of order but this is the birthday girl anxiously awaiting her guests!

This party was so much fun to plan!  I'm gonna have a lot to live up to next year for her birthday!  Pony rides?  Ugh, I don't know!  We'll see what she wants!  I better start planning now!

Bridal and wedding accessories/fascinators

I've been involved with the bridal industry for over five years.  My first experience with bridal customers began when I taught brides about good skin care tips and how to get their skin wedding day ready.  After their initial skincare consult, I had the privilege of doing their wedding day makeup!  I always enjoyed this because I got to be with them in the quiet (or sometimes not so quiet) moments of the morning when they were getting ready to marry their best friend.  It was in those moments that they opened up to me, sharing jitters or excitements.  I loved being able to share those moments with my brides. 
Fast forward a few years and a few ideas later, I finally have turned my passion for creating with my hands into a full time business!  Pixie Dust Boutique was born out of me creating Christmas presents for my girls and nieces.  From there I realized I could share my art with others.  I started off designing hair accessories for little girls (which I still do), making tutus(only occasionally now), and more sophisticated clips for sophisticated little girls or their moms!  Whats so fun to me is that all of this has evolved into so much more.  I began making bridal hair accessories and bridal  fascinators which drew me in a slightly different direction.  From there my business has exploded and allowed me to work with brides again but in a different genre.  This caused me to create a name within my Pixie Dust label called, Je T'aime Bridal.  At this point Je T'aime is still masquerading under Pixie Dust, sometime in the near future Je T'aime Bridal will be stepping out all on its own with Pixie Dust Boutique remaining.  I have a passion for creating within both genres and don't plan on giving up on either.  Pixie Dust allows me to use my creative juices in a fun, whimsy, colorful sort of a way while Je T'aime gives me the opportunity to bring out the sophisticated, elegant, rich side. 
 All of that to say, here's a sampling of what Je T'aime offers to our brides... hope you like it!

A little wedding photo shoot

 I'm pretty excited about this new line, "Je T'aime Bridal".  Here is a sneak peak of the veil/blusher paired with the double satin peony set.  This set is for very fashion forward women who want to make a statement and really stand out at their wedding! 

A birdcage veil/blusher (pictured in white but also available in ivory).  This item comes with a beautiful hair fascinator that is detatchable making it easy to take the veil off for the reception but keep the beautiful flower in!  Look for many more new veil styles as well as more wedding hair fascinators coming soon!  Also, we will be launching our new Etsy and website for "Je T'aime Bridal" within the month!  I look forward to sharing with you the new pieces perfect for your wedding day!

Ivory Satin peonies and feather hair fascinator

By far my best seller in Pixie Dust Boutique! This item is a part of our
Je T'aime Bebe bridal line.  Comes in Ivory but can easily be made in any desired color. Tulle is the default on this item but white bird cage netting can also be used upon request.   Absolutely a breathtaking piece, perfect for the elegant bride!
