Custom Flower Girl Dolls-Black & Rhinestone Color Scheme

Another fun group of Flower Girl Dolls by Bratenella.  This bride sent me a picture of the dress, requested hair and eye color.  I added personalization.  I created custom headbands for the flower girls, too.  Can't wait to share pictures from this wedding!

Bratenella made the paper!

Bratenella's new space at Ivy House made the paper this week!  In case you didn't know, we will be in a great antique and gift shop in Columbia, SC.  I spent a lot of time with my partner, The Bloomin' Idiot, creating our space complete with pink walls and great stuff!  You can find all of your favorite Bratenella cards, dolls, signed artwork and other goodies like repurposed itmes with an artistic flair.

The store is open!

The store is now OPEN!  Bratenella and her partner in crime, The Bloomin Idiot, have opened their shop at Ivy House Antiques and Gifts in Columbia, SC.  We've been working really hard.  You'll find everything southern girl could need or want....a vintage Lilly Pulitzer shirt, anything pink, handmade cards & gifts, Bratenella art dolls, Bloomin Idiot jewelry and coozies.

Custom Flower Girl Dolls

Just finished some really cute special Bratenella order dolls that a bride ordered for her flower girls.....love the idea!

Her wedding colors are black and white.  She sent pictures of the girls and their dresses.  So, I worked off of that.  What a special and unique gift.  I'm going to have to market these for weddings and brides!

This was my final order and now I'm shutting down the Bratenella operation for a month or so while we prepare for the big move and then get settled in the new place and the new...amazing....studio!

Bratenella Tea Party Photo Shoot
