Kimberly Canale, Brooklyn, NY Vendor: Event Designer Website: Inspired Goodness About Me: From the moment the engagement ring was slipped onto my finger, I've been in love with all-things-wedding. I still get teary eyed reading proposal stories in magazines and love sneaking a peek at a bride and groom glancing at one another for the first time, as the ceremony is about to begin. With each of my clients, I get to know their personality, family background and hear the story of how they met and fell in love. Each piece becomes another element from which I use to build the overall vision for their wedding day. As the Creative Director at Inspired Goodness, my job is to create the various details that makes each of our weddings come to life. My work incorporates classic elements; engraving, hand calligraphy and vintage typography. Using a mix of found objects and flea market pieces lends a rich history to my work and challenges me to find creative ways to use mass-produced elements, each with a chic and timeless result. With every new client, I get to explore avenues I've yet to pass and love knowing that the next adventure is just around the corner!

Stephanie Browne Australia

October 13th, 2009 @ 2:15 pm by Kim @ Inspired Goodness

I have a thing for hair accessories - especially if it incorporates vintage lines and sparkly accents. While reading this month’s Martha Stewart Weddings, I was smitten with a new-found love: Stephanie Browne Australia.

The line ranges from costume jewelry, bejeweled belts and headbands, all inspired by the 1920s Art Deco showgirls. Read more…

Studio Suzan - Shop is Open!

September 8th, 2009 @ 4:43 pm by Wiley Valentine

You may remember the utterly fabulous bridal jewelry I featured a while back by Studio Suzan. There was an overwhelming response and many of you asked how you could purchase her pieces. Well good news! The online shop is now open. The website includes not just her bridal line, but a large selection of Suzan’s fabulous jewelry. Don’t forget to read Suzan’s incredible story.

I am loving these pieces with words etched in them like the bracelet above that has the word “grace” etched in it over and over. I love the idea of having the word “love” done that same way for a bride to wear! Suzan’s jewelry is all handmade and truly unique. I love that each piece is so beautiful and heirloom quality. Happy shopping!

Princess Lasertron, Omaha Vendor: Flowers made of felt, vintage buttons and other ephemera Website: Princess Lasertron About Me: I started Princess Lasertron in 2005 creating custom bouquets out of felt, vintage buttons, and other ephemera. I give each bride an heirloom-quality piece that will bring a personal dimension to their wedding and everyday lives. What I love most is meeting and collaborating with unique women whose weddings are a true representation of them and their partners. As for me...I live nocturnally, I'm an INTP, I play Dungeons and Dragons every other Saturday, and I'm a perpetual student.

French General

May 4th, 2009 @ 11:04 am by Megan @ Princess Lasertron

I first read about Kaari Meng, founder of the popular vintage ephemera store French General, in the book A Shop of One’s Own by Rachel Epstein. Kaari’s story was most memorable to me because she is so driven and full of ideas. She owns her own store, has written several amazing books, has her own product lines and has created jewelry for stores like Anthropologie, and has been featured in so many major publications. I see her as an important role model for women like me who are small business owners in the creative industries.
