Calling All Blushing Brides! How to Incorporate Blush into Your Wedding Day!

by | Sep 17, 2015 | Uncategorized

If you missed us on Instagram & Facebook this week, you can still get a look at all of the wedding day treasures that we found on Etsy to coordinate your blush wedding theme (as well as, of course, some of our favorite custom wedding shoes that we think keep pace with these other gorgeous items)! From head to toe, here you go! To start, we’ve been swooning over these blush pink crystal earrings by Iloniti on Etsy for awhile now.  As described on Iloniti’s site, these beauties are made with Swarovski crystals and measure 16mm in diameter.  And, best of all Iloniti rocks a 5-star review on Etsy — a really impressive feat and something that we look for when we promote our weekly #etsyfinds on Facebook and Instagram. Priced at: $43.00 on Etsy.  And, as luck would have it, Ellie Wren also has a blush custom wedding shoe that boasts the use of genuine Swarovski crystals.  When bride’s ask about the difference between using Swarovski and regular crystals, I always say that when you move, Swarovski are going to look like they are lighting up.  They sparkle like nobody’s business.  This shoe is a 4″ platform peeptoe wedding shoe, done in blush satin and featuring a crystal covered heel and a pink champagne glittered sole.  Yes, that’s what we said, a sole that glitters with pink champagne.  How’s that for a wedding toast!? Priced at: $422.00 on Etsy. Of course, when you’re going for romance on your wedding day, nothing says it quite like blush chiffon.  We found this wedding day clutch on Etsy by Davie and...

Custom Wedding Shoes: Creating the Perfect Pair for an Indian Wedding

by | Aug 27, 2015 | Uncategorized

In recent months, Ellie Wren has been called upon by several Indian brides to create a dream pair of custom wedding shoes, fit for a series of wedding ceremonies known for their vibrant colors and enthusiastic celebration.  The introduction to Indian wedding celebrations has been an exciting time for us — as a custom design team, we are always open to trying new ideas and love working with bright and vivid colors.  Often, our Indian brides will send us pictures of their gown (and sometimes several, as Indian weddings are often a celebration of multiple days) and ask us to incorporate the theme of their dress into their shoes.  Here’s a look at the process we take in creating these truly beautiful custom wedding shoes, as well as a collection of some of the work we’ve done to date! Gallery of Indian Wedding Shoes by Ellie Wren Custom Wedding Shoes Designing Custom Wedding Shoes for an Indian Wedding:  How the Process Works Often, the bride will send us a photograph of the wedding dress that she will wear for the wedding ceremony (as shown above).  We’ll then take this image and create a sketch of a design (like the one below).  The design is sent to the bride for approval. In some cases, as with this bride, we won’t copy the design in the same colors, but rather have the shoes incorporate the inverse of the colors — to have them better complement the dress, like the example below.   Custom Wedding Shoes: Capturing the Essence of the Indian Wedding Dress Example 1: Selecting a more neutral color palette...
