Custom design is a process than involves matching a certain style with a particular blend of fabrics, textures and adornments. I am working with a bride whose color palette includes an eggplant for the bridesmaids' dresses with gold as the accent. I have worked with her to select the perfect shade of gold shantung for the base of the custom clutch pattern. I found a fun, retro stripe and floral pattern for the lining of the clutches. Each of the six bags will have a different fabric flower created from an assortment of gold and eggplant tones of fabrics, rhinestones, natural pearl and vintage-style buttons. I have worked closely with the bride to develop the style and aesthetic of each bag. I will also be creating a special clutch bag for the bride and for each of the mothers. The colors and fabrics will be cohesive with the colors and fabrics already selected for the bridesmaids.
I can match closely the preselected colors and I have the design background to create an entire palette of coordinating fabrics and textures. Sometimes, the scale of the purse makes all the difference in the theme of the wedding. I can make changes in a basic purse design to make it as personal and unique as possible.
