Meet Our Artists

A lifelong creator, Aedriel grew up being encouraged as an artist and poet, learning to question everything and find beauty in nature. She founded Aedriel Originals to focus on her passion for ceramics, but she also finds immense joy in other simple pleasures: her children's eyes, a great book, green chili, date nights with her hubby, gardening, hiking, the right song for the right moment, and evenings on her back patio in New Mexico. Up and coming in a big way, Aedriel's work has been featured by Sunset magazine, among others. We are thrilled to have found her for these exclusive designs.

The multi-talented Aurora Palesca has graced our shop with both exclusive jewelry designs & her custom calligraphy on gorgeous handcrafted, fair trade wedding photo albums & guest books. Her eco-lovely approach to design is simple: she lets the materials she works with guide the creative process. We also love that she Aurora began selling hand-beaded jewelry to her classmates when she was 10 years old, and received her first paid calligraphy job at the age of 12.

Becky O’Neil was trained as a sculptor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, jetted around the globe, then settled in Manchester, N.H. where she creates stylish handbags out of beautiful fabrics. One of her earliest memories is of making little handbags out of her mother’s scrap fabrics. “I let the materials guide me: silks, wools, cottons. My bags appeal to the hand as well as the eye.” She collects interesting fabrics wherever she travels, and each bag is one-of-a-kind. O’Neil supports independent designers who “create products that are useful and fashionable, with a quality that often surpasses mass-produced items."

Super mom to a kindergartener, Cynthia Saito took her sales & marketing background to new heights when little Zoe's long locks became a tangled mess after each shampoo. But as soon as the plush & luxurious Wrapadoo for little girls was born, women started clamoring for one of their own. With the retro-glam style of the original Hollywood starlets, these day-at-the-spa hair wraps sit neatly and cozily on your head so you can multitask away in style while your tresses dry to a high shine. They're equally smart for just lounging about and enjoying life's quieter moments whenever you can grab them.

Senior designer Marie Conrad's unmistakable work has been featured in Modern Bride magazine, Style Me Pretty and Wedding Belles, among others. Now she makes several exclusive and one-of-a-kind heirloom pillows just for us! To feel these little works of art is to hold quality in your hands. While other pillows may not be fully stuffed or lack perfectionist details, Marie's are designed to be passed down through generations.

Kelly Drill, whose tagline is "Mommy likes to make things," uses vintage and vintage-inspired artwork and photographs to create uniquely nostalgic stationery. She crafts all of her cards from luxe recycled cardstock and prints in small batches before lovingly cutting and scoring them each by hand in her small Texas studio.

Specializing in a detailed technique called "wire wrapping," this twenty-something artist has been making a name for herself among brides who appreciate her textural, one-of-a-kind designs that are layered with sparkling gemstones. Her unique oxidation process that she uses on her sterling silver jewelry, followed by a thorough polishing, produces an antique finish on each intricate piece, adding to their vintage-inspired feel. Melanie also designs custom special occasion jewelry for brides, bridesmaids, and mothers of the bride available through Orange & Blossom with a 30-day lead time. Just contact us to get started!

Traci of Midori Jewelry designed our entire collection of bridal and bridesmaids jewelry exclusively for Orange & Blossom. She combined her most popular custom requests with never-before-seen designs for a line that makes ordering easy, with mix-and-match metals, glistening pearls, and hand-selected gemstones. Her stunning work is fresh, feminine, and exquisitely detailed. Traci handcrafts each piece, adding some heartfelt Mahalo from her home in Hawaii.
