Meet the Maker

It began with one small flower.

I fell in love with Thai clay miniature flowers and wished I knew how to make them. So I bought clay and tools, taught myself, and shaped my first tiny flower by hand.

I listed it in my Etsy shop, Clay Orchids, and it sold. Order after order followed, all while I worked full-time as a senior graphic designer and raised four children. Fourteen years of handmade flowers later, those same hands make everlasting flowers for brides, and the little shop has grown into Ivory & Bloom Atelier.

The Craft

Shaped by hand, made to stay.

  1. Every petal and leaf is formed one at a time, never stamped out.

  2. Each piece is matched to your wedding palette, from ivory to blush to bold.

  3. Flowers become a bouquet, a crown, or a small piece for the littlest in your party.

  4. Clay flowers never wilt and never need water. The bouquet you carry is the bouquet you keep.
