Featured Vendor: Vatne Designs

We have fallen in love ... and must share why!  The talents and beauty of Vatne Designs' custom made accessories and jewelry are incredible.  From hand-crafted earrings, bracelets and necklaces to one of a kind floral hair pieces, you're sure to cherish your fabulous personalized creation.  We had the special opportunity to chat with Neallie, owner of the Bellingham based business on how her wonderful journey with Vatne Designs began... below we share our interview.

Tell us how Vatne Designs was started?

 "Vatne Designs started out and remains my creative outlet; I have been creating jewelry since I was young. I have a background working within the bridal industry where I used my creativity daily, and worked with brides and wedding professionals throughout the country. After staying home with my two boys for a few years I decided to start my own business and my immediate instinct was to create jewelry and accessories for brides.  I have since expanded my line to include colors and styles, which can be worn day to night, for any and all occasions."

What inspires you?

"My inspirations come from simple timeless elements and soft shades of color. I design with the inspiration that brides want the memory of the Big Day to be accessible everyday.  My creations can be worn out and about or to the most special of events.  I am drawn to sandy hues and shady grays, these colors can be worn with absolutely anything!"

Tell us about Spun Sugar Suite, the fun new blog you started and 

what we can expect to find/read on it?

"Spun Sugar Suite is a fun and fabulous wedding blog that my close friend and I started together. Sheila is a talented photographer who amazes me constantly, and it was our mutual love for all things wedding that brought this blog together.  We showcase amazing vendors, gorgeous weddings and engagements, fashion finds and wedding inspirations."

How does one order a lovely custom piece?

"My website vatnedesigns.com is a wonderful resource for jewelry lovers and brides.  I offer many color options and custom lengths directly from my site.  I welcome custom requests and I enjoy creating designs according to my customer’s vision."
