Thank-you Tammi, Vendors and all the lovely people that came out to the bridal event last Saturday at the Old Orchard Inn - it was a delight to be there. Send me an email (right side of this page) and let's start a conversation.

I will be posting more photos of my jewellery over the coming week for brides to have a another look at the pieces I make. I look forward to hearing from you about any custom questions you may have.

It was a fun day to meet brides-to-be, their partners, friends and family, as well as other small businesses in Nova Scotia. Below is a list of just some of the other amazing vendors I met:

Cakes by Ginette - the Art of Dessert
May your big day (or any size event) be as impressive as Ginette’s desserts and cakes. WOW! But, there really are no words that describe the level of amazingness that this baker brings to the table, AND they taste absolutely divine too.

I cannot express how pretty their flower display was - the colours and colour combinations along with the delicate drama of their display was just stunning.
