Sex and the city style NY bride & girlfriends day

Recently, I created several design items for a modern, SATC inspired bride & girlfriend photo shoot in NYC. Today, it was featured on the most popular wedding blog of all times, Style Me Pretty! Here are a few sneak peeks… get ready – there are some illustrated design items and unique wedding celebration ideas that I have never made before!

The bride and her girlfriends having a ball at Gabriella New York bridal salon. I particularly love the white gown in the middle, with the gem patterns – it’s so unique, isn’t it! And it looks absolutely ravishing on the bride. Bridesmaids gowns by Two Birds Bridesmaid. Custom-made perspex rings with tailor-made illustration: yes, I made these for the bridesmaids! If you’re interested in more design items like this, visit AstridMuellerExclusive.com or email me.

As you see above, I also made matching illustrated perspex drink stirs for the occasion. For the concept of the gem illustrations as glamorous NYC style element, I drew inspiration from the recently auctioned Elizabeth Taylor jewelry collection. What inspiration that was!  I also created several hand-debossed velvet design accents, which featured the designs. You see above a napkin ring and a glimpse of another debossed fabric piece. I had also made a velvet scarf, chokers and hair accessories, as well as a tailor-made matching perspex clutch (not shown).

All of my design items you see above are tailor-made to order. If you’re interested in accentuating your celebration with your own unique design pieces, and in new wedding design accents and gifts that may have never been made and seen before , visit AstridMuellerExclusive.com for initial inspiration, or email me directly.

Hope you enjoyed the glimpses above! See more in the Style Me Pretty blog feature here and browse the full gallery with all photos here!

Unique wedding design idea: tailor-made swizzle sticks

Last fall, I shared a sneak peek with you of an exclusive new design item that I’ve recently developed: tailor-made illustrated drink stirs. Couture wedding photographer Andrea from AndreaAndMarcus.com offered her talent and created a lovely styled shoot with the swizzle sticks I had made for her. I’m super excited that the beautiful vintage-inspired wedding blog Love My Dress from the UK just featured lots of eye candy from the photo shoot!

Enjoy a few sneak peeks from the Love My Dress blog feature:

unique event design element and conversation starter: tailor-made illustrated drink stirs

special design accent for the cocktail bar: a matching display and keepsake item

I think these drink stirs are a lovely and very personalized design element for engagement parties, bridal showers, the bridal cocktail bar, or even the reception. A great conversation starter and guest favor too!

Since I’ve first written about them, I’ve received a lot of inquiries. A bride I recently designed for had also spotted them, fell in love, and commissioned me to design swizzle sticks for her own wedding. She got married in beautiful Venice, Italy (how romantic!!!), and celebrated in the magnificent Ca’Sagredo Hotel right on the Canale Grande. I just saw the photos from AndreaAndMarcus.com yesterday (still top secret), they are G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. and will be featured on Style Me Pretty shortly. I can’t wait! Stay tuned, I’ll share glimpses here when they’re online!

To see more photos and inspiration from this lovely shoot, visit The Lovely Dress Blog. For further unique wedding ideas or if you’re interested in couture swizzle-sticks for yourself, visit AstridMuellerExclusive.com or email me – Looking forward to hearing from you!

How would you incorporate the drink stirs into your own festivities?

PS: If you’re a wedding designer or blogger and would like to blog about them too, email me, I’ve got more photos that haven’t been published yet.
