Announcing New Service




Several months ago, my creative juices started running when one of my client’s was going to have a bridesmaid who is wheelchair bound and the bride wanted to use her service dog as her “ring bearer.” (Click here to see their story) I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a dog bone for the ring pillow?” I presented the idea to my clients and they loved the idea. (See picture above) That’s when I thought I could make and offer custom-made ring pillows to all my clients, if they so choose.

Therefore, I am announcing the launch of “Bearer of Rings©” custom-made ring pillows as a subsidiary of Smooth Weddings, LLC. Since I’m just beginning this, I can only offer this service offline (phone, e-mail, face-to-face), but hopefully one day I want to make it available online, too.

If you are in the Maryland, Northern Virginia, DC area and want something different and non-traditional for your wedding, then contact me. You don’t have to be a client to order one.

Have your own personality shine through on your wedding day when your ring bearer walks down the aisle with one of my custom, handmade ring pillows.

I can use practically any material or you can send me your own material, such as leftover fabric from your wedding gown, bridesmaids’ dresses, or a special handkerchief, etc. Let your imagination run wild!

Since I’m just starting to promote this side of my business and because of the creativeness, personal preferences, themes, etc. that you may have, I don’t keep a stock of standard “cookie-cutter” type of pillows. Each one will be made according to your specifications. Therefore, I don’t have a lot of pictures to show you yet with the exception of the dog bone pillow and one I just made as a sample.

If you want the standard shape style of pillow, I can do that, too. The standard pillow shapes are limited to square (8”x8”), round (8” diameter) or rectangle (8”x6”).

If you would like to discuss your ideas and/or place an order, just contact me. Please allow two to four weeks delivery time once your order has been placed and payment has been received.

Prices begin at $25 for standard pillow shapes and begin at $45 for custom-made shapes.

Okay. Enough of my shameless, self-promotion ad.
