The Bouquet Lady is Teresa.
When I got engaged in 2011, I knew I wanted a bouquet unlike any other that I could keep and cherish for years to come. And I knew I wanted to make it. So I did. Eleven times. (I am a bit of a perfectionist.) A few months later, I was contacted by Charisse, a bride who needed a wedding bouquet for her wedding – two weeks away. I made “The Charisse” – a beautiful pink bouquet honoring her mother, a breast cancer victim. Charisse’s wedding bouquet is with breast cancer brooches, three pink pearls for her three daughters, and three pink crystals for the pure, sweet love of a mother and grandmother for those girls. Elegance On The Avenue Custom Satin Bridal Bouquets was born.
“The Charisse” Photography by comfortphotography.comElegance On The Avenue was born of a need to create, to take a piece of fabric, a ribbon, a jewel, and design something wonderful. Birthed from the knee treadle sewing machine my mother purchased for her 12 year old daughter for $35 (including the cabinet!) in 1972, my need to create is hungry, now fed on a daily diet of double faced satin ribbon and brooches. A few crystals are thrown in to maintain a good, healthy, well-stoked creative diet.
Dear Hubby turned a storage shed attached to the house into my studio last summer and I am already bursting at the seams. I am thankful for that generous gift of space every day as the business grows.
