to surround her on her wedding day.
To get a better understanding of this
magical business, we got to ask Donni
a few personal questions…
Urbanette Magazine:
Fairyfolk
Weddings handmade decor is unique
and detailed; you even describe it as
‘magical’ - your inspiration seems
to come from love of nature and the
‘magic’ of nature; how did that come
to inspire a business geared toward
weddings?
Donni Webber:
I am inspired by little
glimpses of magic, the soft glittering
of the morning light, the emerald
green of a mossy place. A wedding
is such a magical day and there are
many special details that can add to
the enchanting feeling of love and
romance. Many small details can
make such a huge difference.
Urbanette:
You pride yourself on
details; what has been the most
thrilling and challenging request
submitted to you to date?
Donni:
I created the table
decorations for a wedding that
had 300 guests. The venue was
in a wooded area and the bride
and groom wanted an Enchanted
Woodland theme. Oh… it was
magical. Hundreds of tiny vine nest escort cards with little speckled robins
eggs nestled inside them, showing
each guest where to sit at the huge
rustic tables. Red toadstools hanging
from the mossy branches of the trees.
Mossy centerpieces with splashes of
yellow felted Craspedia flowers. There
were fairy lights everywhere. The
natural hues of the moss and woods
with the splashes of reds and yellows
and blues from my felted goodies was
truly enchanting.
Urbanette:
You have a vast array
of products for someone’s special
wedding day – can you give us an
overview?
Donni:
I work with natural materials
like wood and vine and felted wool.
Everything has a soft and romantic
feeling to it. I specialize in table
settings and decorations, felted
wool bridal bouquets, colorful
and unique boutonnieres for the
groom, enchanting and magical ring
pillows and beautiful felted garlands
and wedding cake toppers. To me,
everything in nature is inspiring and
magical.
Urbanette:
What are your favorite
items to craft and why?
Donni:
I love making the crocheted
lace and vine nest ring-pillows. Felting
wool in to the little hearts that the
rings will sit upon for the wedding
ceremony is a deep honor for me. As I
work and shape the wool, I think of the
lovers whose symbols of commitment
will sit upon the heart I am creating
and I wish them love and happiness
and true beauty in their lives together.
I feel the magic that their union has
created in the world and humbled by
it. I truly love what I do.
