etsy scout: peppermint cloud

bachio

is it possible that anyone one else is a bit wistful that etsy's indie emporium filled with pretty yet affordable details arrived after her wedding day? with so many handmade delights to be found online, i find myself swooning repeatedly and, on occasion, share them with my mister who, to his credit, nods sympathetically and sweetly consoles me that our wedding cakes were fabulous even without the world's cutest topper.

so it should come as no surprise that the romantic loveliness offered by honolulu's peppermint cloud found a fan after my first peek of the charming creamsicle boutonniere. upon discovering that all this dreaminess was made in hawaii only added to my happiness . . . what luck for modern day island brides who now have a sweet dose of sartorial wonder in their backyard. hooray!

creator litton ludwig began crafting the designs that would eventually populate peppermint cloud's collection during her days as a diy bride-to-be. her bridal hair fascinators are simply stunning and harken back to 1940's movie stars gliding across the silver screen with a gardenia blossom pinned in her hair. each one is carefully constructed of layers of soft feathers or silk petals and occasionally accented with restrained sparkle, delicate lace or topped off with a cap of tulle.

and, if you really want to embrace your glamorous side, take a peek at the two piece pesca made with silk organdy coaxed into gorgeous ruffles. even if your wedding 'do is not meant for one of peppermint cloud's fascinators, just know that it can also be attached to straps and sashes to add extra ooh la la to your gown.

grooms typically have few options to inject a little whimsy into their outfit but happily peppermint cloud is to the rescue. wouldn't you love to be invited to a wedding where the groomsmen have nixed the standard issue floral boutonniere and replaced them with cheery handcut fabric petals mixed with ribbon, buttons, twigs and other flair to brighten up their lapels?

everybody loves creamsicle boutonniere

the gorgeous photos only add to the romance and are quite possibly the loveliest etsy product shots ever shared on h|h. credit goes to mr. peppermint cloud who just happens to spend his days snapping photographs side by side with his missus.

litton is also happy to create a fascinator just for you while boutonnieres (which are offered in grownup and keiki sizes) can also be made to complement your wedding palette. since each piece is made to order, turnaround time ranges from one to three weeks and up to six weeks for large custom orders.
