Sew Pretty

My cousin gave me a purse from Sew Pretty. A one-woman operation, she is located in Nutley, NJ and also did bridal lines. I contacted her a few months prior to the wedding, bounced some ideas off her and hired her to create one-of-a-kind purses for my MOH and BM.

She came to my mom’s apartment about a month before the wedding and brought selections of buttons, colors and ribbons to choose from. I provided the material to her, using the left over material from my jr BM’s gown that was being shortened to tea length.

About 2 weeks before the wedding, I picked up the purses at a fair she was selling her stuff at. I thought the purses came out great but they weren’t what I was expecting in terms of size. They were very long and I thought the proportion of the size of the purse to the adornments didn’t look right. However, I did really like them—just needed some time to get used to them. What’s important is that my girls loved the purses and they looked great with their dresses.

I also had a card bag made for me which I loved. The seam ripped about mid-evening but we sewed it up and it was fine.
