I made these very cute couple of Halloween owls for an alternative autumn wedding!

Personalized banner for names and date is in black with a green and an orange rhinestone.

This year I created also some Halloween fridge magnets, if like me you have a fridge full of magnets and you love to collect them, I was thinking of you when I was creating them!

Sun & Moon cake topper, an original custom request for a fall wedding

I

 was very happy to realize this original and unique idea, a Sun & Moon wedding cake topper!



The bride gave me a picture of sun and moon figurines she took during a trip and she asked me to realize something like that for her autumn wedding, with warm, earth colors, sunflowers and mums.


I made an ivory strapless dress for the moon bride as the customer's one and a blue dress for the sun groom.

The topper on Allison's cake!



The sun groom work in progress...


I realized the two figurines with clay and I painted them with acrylics.
Bride asked me to paint eyes in light blue like theirs.
She was so pleased with the result! Thanks!!

Buddha wedding cake topper!

I

  wish to share with you some pictures of this amazing wedding cake topper I made for a customer, I loved so much her unique idea!!
She wanted to create a laughing Buddha cake topper for a "lucky in love" themed wedding.
She had small laughing buddhas as table card holders and other "lucky symbols" throughout the wedding.



Figurines are quite big, 5,2" large and 5" tall.

I tried to make the bride the most feminine possible and I think she is absolutely lovely and adorable!
Bride was wearing an headband with clear crystals so I make the same also for the "Buddha bride".

Customer decided also to add a grass base and a white arc with  purple flowers, leaves and gold vines.

If you also have an original and unique idea for your wedding you can contact me:
or have a look to my Etsy shop for inspiration, I'm a complete artist, I also paint portraits and murals so I can realize every your idea!

It was an hard work but the most important thing is that the bride was really happy with the result, this is the customer review she wrote for me:
"Perlilla does amazing work. Excellent to work with. My cake toppers came out perfect, they are extremely detailed. Perlilla is amazing!!"
Adrienne, thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart!!!

Cake topper and Guestbook for the movie themed wedding!

F

or this beautiful wedding with a cinematic look I created a cake topper with figurines inspired by bride and groom themselves but in a more "cute way" as desired by the bride.
Here is the cake topper!




I made the couple on a white base with an arch decorated with white daisies, in the centre of each flower there is a silver rhinestone. 



For bride's skirt I used white silk and tulle, I created the decorations on the bottom of the skirt with white and pearl glitters to match with the pattern of the skirt of the true dress.
Brid'e's bouquet is inspired by the real one, with purple roses, white hydrangeas, big leaves and pearls.



Bride figurine hairstyle is the same of the bride, with long ringlets










And one of the most important moment in a wedding...
THE WEDDING CAKE!
Presented outdoors in the courtyard of the villa








The cake was really huge, so I created also two white roses to decor it:


Cake topper with arc is 10,3" high and base is 5,5" large. 

Some work in progress...


The table with wedding favors with the Guestbook with bride and groom favourite animals, very cute lion & dog!

Real wedding: seating chart and table decorations for the movie themed wedding

I
t's time to share some pictures from the movie themed wedding I organized last month!







 Weddin location was a beautiful villa in the country in the province of Reggio Emilia, Italy



  Here was the how I realized the seating chart and this is the final result in the wedding hall:


Bride and groom decided to chose a movie to decor each table.
For each table I made a centerpiece, a little frame with the plot of the movie and a plaque with the title, all in purple!!

Bride and groom table
"Gone with the wind", bride's favourite movie:

 So romantic!


"Sex and the City" table:


"Pulp Fiction" table:

"Modern Time" table:


"Pretty Woman" table:



"Stand By Me" table, groom's favourite movie:




"The Gladiator" table:




"Titanic" table with the heart of the ocean:




"Kill Bill" table:



"Back to the Future" table with the DeLorean with purple flowers and tulle! (I made it with paper mache and I painted it with metallic silver acrylic)


 "The Untouchables" table:




"2001 Space Odissey" table:




"The Departed" table:




"Million Dollar Baby" table:




"Far and Away" table.
Ok, here I have to explain... in Italy this movie title has been translated "Rebel hearts", I wanted to represent it in a funny way so I made two rebel hearts...two hearts full of tattoos... :) Ok, in short I do not know why I came to do so... :) but the bride loved it!!




"The Pursuit of Happyness" table:




"Blade Runner" table with the unicorn origami:


 "The Shawshank Redemption" table, in Italy title has been translated "Wings of freedom" so I made two cute purple wings...I know they are not very suitable for a film set in prison...but for a wedding!

 
"Into the Wild" table:


What do you think of this couple movie themed tables?
Bride and groom and all their guests loved the decorations, it was really a success, I'm so happy to have fulfilled all their wishes in their special day. It was a big satisfaction and great joy for me, after all that work.


Of corse could not miss the cake topper and the guestbook!!
They asked me for a different cake topper compared to those which are in my Etsy shop, they wanted me to make two figurines inspired by their own, but in a more cute way, with the same dresses and accessories.
I will show you everything on my next post!
