Custom Pillows of all Shapes and Sizes!

Welcome to the exciting world of custom ring bearer pillows!!  I can make any size or shape we can come up with, match your theme and colors, or just help you to express your true self though fabric, ribbon, beading and creativity.  Do you have a specific idea in mind, such as a holiday themed pillow, or perhaps a ring bearer pillow for your Dog- of-honor?  I can work with you to come up with the perfect pillow.
Creating your own custom ring bearer pillow can be fun and challenging as you sort out your themes and colors.  As your plan comes into focus, I will provide swatch samples via email and sketches of what your pillow will look like, as well as photos of the progress, as we keep in close contact about all elements of your special pillow.

Some elements we can work with:

How much embellishment?
Some folks go for the simple style, while others love the hand quilted rosettes or flowers spilling over the edges. Beading and ribbons can also dress up your pillow.  The choice is yours.
The edges of the pillow also play a huge part on the finished look of the pillow.  Lace edges can give a traditional look, a seamed single stitch edge, a particular elegance, and a triple seams edge, contemporary flair.  The options are as boundless as our imaginations--and I am always willing to make suggestions!
Once we have created your ideal pillow, you may want to continue your theme through other elements.  I can make favors such as bookmarks or mini-pillows and more.  I also can create a guest book covered with matching fabric.  Check it out on the site.
I charge a small fee for working with you to create your pillow--this helps defray the cost of buying the swatches to provide as samples and the time it takes to provide the sketches and photos for your perusal.  When the pillow is complete, I post it, and you purchase it directly from the site.  I keep the image up, to provide visitors with an example of  what custom work can be, but it is not available to the public--remember, that pillow was made especially for you!

Who wouldn't want a Chocolate Pillow!??

Here is the latest addition to the Asian Inspiration Collection.   Rich chocolate brown is quickly becoming a popular color used in weddings, particularly when matched with turquoise and a chic raspberry pink.  The design itself is lovely; interlaced, silver rimmed flowers and peacocks. Click on the image  for a large pop up view of this tasty treat!
P1041469 This is one trendy pillow that would complement any wedding. The Asian inspired Brocade fabric is smooth with a great sheen. A seamed edge adds elegance.  I used a wine colored ribbon to tie your rings and a fantastic glass bead lined with interesting turquoise, silver and blue details, complemented by three smaller iridescent  beads.  Click on the bead detail for a close up look on these gorgeous beads.  I take great pride in the details of my pillows and I handcover  and hand fasten all buttons, beads and other details that make each pillow a special work of art.P1041472
The back is supplied with the standard holding band for your ring bearer to get a good grip. That is particularly important for the younger ring bearer.  My fiance's four year old nephew recently informed me he may be compelled to toss the pillow in the air several times en route to the final destination.  I may have to use a extra super band for that little guy!
Keep in mind that I can make any additions or subtractions to any pillow on the blog, as well as work with you to create the pillow of your dreams!
This Chocolate Brown Asian Inspired Ring Bearer pillow is $25.00.
