We were thrilled about five months ago when BRIDES was interested in receiving a few of the Maihar Design ring pillows. The excitement escalated when they informed us there would be a piece featuring ring bearer pillows, and that the Tori Ring Bearer Pillow was going to be included.
Originally we expected a spring publication date, so I was bouncing with joy yesterday when I received word the piece was in the February 2010 issue of BRIDES Magazine – which was on stands already! I rushed to the Walgreen’s to get my hands on a few copies, then surprised Melanie with the news in hand.
Below is the piece from the February 2010 issue of BRIDES Magazine. Melanie goes to great lengths to achieve precision in her designs, and she was been extremely meticulous deciding which fabrics will comprise our various products. I love that this article goes into detail the craftsmanship of our pillows, and accurately outlines how our pieces are different from others.
While our pillows may not be for every bride, I am hopeful their uniqueness does not go unnoticed and that the detail is appreciated. I have zero sewing or designing ability, so I proudly pat my sister on the back for her beautiful work – I surely take no credit.
One thing Melanie and I love about working together is the excitement we both share. Every milestone we achieve is tremendous, and we continue to be ever so grateful to the wedding industry professionals who give us such an honor with their kind words.
Thanks again to everyone for your support. We truly love our little business, Maihar Design, and are hopeful to grow it into something larger, always aware that every day is an undeserved blessing from God.

I am absolutely amazed at how many ridiculously talented photographers there are out there. It seems as though every day I stumble across someone new whose images stop me dead in my tracks.
My latest find is Australian-based photographer, Jonas Peterson. I love love love his work and have pulled just a few images from his oh-so-fabulous website to share with you. His perspective is unique and inventive – and quite simply makes me giggle. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
Please, please visit his website to see more from this talented artist.

Although some may consider it to be one of the more minor details when planning your big day, designing your “do” can be fabulously fun.
Today’s brides are planning varied styles from vintage to whimsical, and their hair style is no exception to the overall theme or the day. Whether you want to appear romantic, flirty, dramatic or vintage chic, the perfect hairstyle can compliment the perfect you. Bob, bun, braid or billowing curls – the options really are endless.
The point is to have fun with it – and perhaps embrace a bit of drama. After all, it is your day!

Hello, friends! We apologize for being M.I.A. over the course of the holidays – I’m sure you can relate to the excitement and festivities that took place during the month of December.
We are thrilled about the opportunities 2010 is presenting for Maihar Design. The wedding industry is filled with so many talented professionals, and we couldn’t be more honored to have caught the “eye” of some of the top wedding publications. Two such publications just hit stands these past few weeks – D Weddings and grace ormonde’s Wedding Style New England.
Maihar Design’s Amy Ring Pillow with Canary Splash was selected as a “so engaging” item for the Spring/Summer 2010 issue of D Weddings, Dallas/Fort Worth’s gorgeous wedding publication.
Additionally, Wedding Style New England selected the Juliet Ring Pillow with Ivory Splash as a “Hot Picks” item for their 2010 issue – so thrilled to be alongside numerous spreads of such glamorous items!
Thank you so much to these wonderful publications. They are among the leaders for selecting hot wedding trends, and we are thrilled to have received such incredible recognition.
Lastly – more exciting news. Florida brides, we have just been picked up by the Bella Bridesmaid stores in both Tampa AND Orlando! We’re slowly spreading across store locations in the United States (and Canada!), and are tickled pink to be among the approved vendors for the Bella Bridesmaid franchise. These stores are gorgeous with such beautiful fashions and accessories – a must stop for any bride looking for timeless styles for her leading ladies.
Thanks again to everyone for your support of Maihar Design. Last year was our first year in business, and it was a wild ride. We look forward to a blessed 2010!

We enjoyed the Sonoma theme so much that we decided to offer an alternative approach to the Sonoma wedding theme. Our second inspiration board is Cobalt Blue, Orange and Yellow – a color palette that can be inspirational any time of the year.
