About
Erica Elizabeth Designs Wedding Accessories
I live and work in my highly personalized home studio in Los Angeles California and I am living my lifelong dream as a working artisan who makes a living from her craft. In a world of mass production, my current home studio continues to grow and flourish by staying true to a handmade design sensibility, paired with a commitment to uncompromising craftsmanship.
While attending Otis Parson, working on a degree in jewelry fabrication & fashion, I got a job in small bridal shop to help pay my way through college. While working at this shop I developed my skills making wedding accessories. I eventually left the shop & started my own small business in my tiny apartment selling my collections of headpieces wholesale to local bridal shops. I then moved into a much larger space and the once small business grew to a very healthy sizeable one that sold to 100s of bridal salons & department stores all over the US.
After 25 years I grew tired of the restrictions of wholesale manufacturing & longed to focus more on distinctive design created with hand detailed craftsmanship. I left my large business, which made me feel like my creative side had been completely lost, to reinvent myself all over again in a world of mass production.
My design inspiration is drawn from many sources, and the process continues to evolve from season to season. Embracing the design aesthetic personified by craftsmen in centuries past, my collection harks back to the lush creations of a bygone era. My head ornaments are crafted with multiple layers of delicate metal florals, hand-fabricated flowers and leaves paired with softer organic materials. Every season my collections have different ideas based on new materials that I have acquired along with the natural evolution of past collections.
I started my business without computers or cell phones but now I am designing for a generation of savvy young women that can go online & purchase anything they want including their wedding accessories. They are smart & have a world of choices available to them. The world of bridal fashion today is wonderful & diverse and the internet has paved the way for talented designers that could have never entered bridal fashion due to the restrictions of the industry show off their talents to the world. I have embraced this change & have now fallen in love all over again with my beloved career.
Much of my day-to-day life is spent in my studio, which is an extension of my home & myself. When I am not happily hidden away in my lovely space, I enjoy working in my garden, making a mess in the kitchen & walking in the local hills of Los Angeles.
I am a vanilla lover & I like things nice!
With love,
Erica

Descriptions of colors:
Ivory: My ivory is a light ivory with a cream warm tone.
Off White: A slightly off white tone originally designed to go with natural silks that are not bright white.
White: Bight white, which is similar to bleached white paper.
Please sure you know what color your gown is before ordering you accessory or veil.
Each piece is individually handmade to order with patience & care.
If you are unsure of your gown color, you may order swatches with the listing below before you decide or even better if you send a swatch of your gown. I will choose the closest match in color.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/170957615/traditonal-nylon-tulle-bridal-veil-color?
14 karat gold fill
Gold fill is composed of a solid layer gold bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass. I use a high quality gold-filled that has the same appearance as 14 karat (58%) gold.
Sterling silver
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper.
I use both silk & traditional nylon tulle for the veils. A of my tulles are the best quality available. The nylon tulle is available in Pure White, Off White or Ivory. The silk tulle is imported from England & is available in a Natural Off White or Ivory.
Swatches are happily available upon request.
***There are no returns or exchanges on the Silk tulle veils due to the delicate nature of the material so please order swatches first to be sure you will be happy with the color & texture of the silk tulle.
In many ceremonies, it is traditional for the bride to walk down the isle on the left, so most pieces are designed with the embellishments on the left side. If you need your piece designed for the right, please make a note at checkout.
I work very hard to give the best quality with a pricing structure that is as fair as possible . Please know that the prices for my designs are non-negotiable. I am not willing to re-design my pieces with lesser quality materials for a better price. This creates more work & cost more than making it as sampled. Please be respectful & do not ask for discounts.
Everything is handmade to order, so please be sure you have chosen you veil or headpiece color correctly. Unfortunately, I cannot be responsible for the cost to remake your veil or headpiece if you order the wrong color. This is especially important when order custom changes to your veil.
I will never rush you to place your order so please be sure to request a swatch or to send me a swatch so I can choose the best shade of tulle, lace or any other materials.
There may be slight differences from piece to piece as everything is handmade & dye lots can change. This is what makes each piece uniquely yours.
