pillows

These are some examples of personalized heirloom ring pillows that I make. I ask the bride about her wedding colors, flowers, and details. Where did they meet and what activities are most bonding and precious to them. What shape is desired, what types of materials, patterns, etc. I ask if she has some special materials, like handmade lace from a grandparent, that she might like incorporated. The idea is to make it as personal as possible, particularly to this special day. It is meant to be an heirloom, to be handed down to children and grandchildren. I remind the bride that in 20 years, perhaps less, it will look dated, even silly, as her taste and life will change, but in 30 or more years it will become a precious representation of the time someone's parents or grandparents chose to unite and create a future and family together. The current negotiable price is $100. This may sound like a lot unless you have done some serious ring pillow shopping, ie: on Etsy. Please consider how much time and materials goes into each pillow, esp compared to others you will see for the same price. Consider also the long-term value. This would also make a lovely wedding gift, though not meant as a surprise, as I truly need to interview the bride-to-be. I prefer to have at least a month to work, though a rush order could be negotiated.
