When Cynthia Martyn contacted us about carrying our products in her new bridal boutique, we were thrilled. We’d had an eye on her exquisite design and were already fans of her event and wedding planning with Cynthia Martyn Events. The opportunity to be in her new bridal boutique, Sash & Bustle, was extremely exciting – needless to say, we jumped at the opportunity.
One glimpse at the store (photos courtesy Rebecca Wood) is indicative of Cynthia’s impeccable eye for design and fashion, and browsing the Sash & Bustle Blog gives a sneak peek at many of the gorgeous designers carried by the boutique, including a fab selection of bridal alternatives.

We cannot say thank you enough to Cynthia for inviting Maihar Design to join the Sash & Bustle team of such talented and fashion-forward designers.

It’s no secret Maihar designer Melanie Ford’s favorite color is pink. Although these colors always remind me of a certain “blush and bashful” scene from my favorite 80s movie, the combination below breaks the mold of “pink and pink,” mastering the definition of delicate and sweet.
With these shades in mind, pink is perfect in my book.

A little inspiration can go a very long way, and we all know pictures are worth 1,000 words. With this in mind, we thought the best way to showcase our various ring bearer pillows and flower wands was alongside wedding inspiration boards.
With a little bit of a shameless plug for our products, and a LOT more love for our fellow wedding professionals, here is a collection of ideas for your fall and winter dream wedding.
