  • West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1888PressRelease) April 29, 2015 - While RegistryFinder.com helps gift givers purchase practical and much-needed items for future brides and grooms, founder and etiquette expert Cheryl Seidel is also a proponent of creative, outside-the-box gift ideas-such as custom mosaic dress sculptures, an upcoming trend in bridal gifting. Now, Seidel is giving one lucky bride-to-be the chance to win her own customized mosaic dress sculpture, valued at $4,500-$6,500, by partnering with mosaic artist Shelly Hamill for an upcoming RegistryFinder.com contest.

    As recently showcased on her "Ask Cheryl" blog on Huffington Post, mosaic dress sculptures are one-of-a-kind pieces of art comprised of various materials, such as ceramic, glass and stone, created to forever immortalize the bride's wedding dress. Parents have commissioned these intricate mosaic sculptures to present as a surprise gift to the bride on her wedding day.

    "These art pieces are such a unique and thoughtful way to ensure that memories from the big day last far beyond the ceremony and reception," says Seidel. "What bride wouldn't be thrilled with this surprise gift on her wedding day?"

    Artist Shelly Hamill specializes in custom mosaic dress sculptures. The Colorado artist and former wedding planner says that this is a popular gift choice for parents because the wedding day goes by in a flash with very little left to show for the event afterward.

    "The cake gets eaten, the music gets played, the flowers die, and presumably the wedding dress is worn only once," Hamill says. "The tile mosaic wedding dress sculpture is a way to enjoy that dress over and over again every day. It is a unique, lasting piece for many generations to enjoy."

    The intricacy of Hamill's delicate work is unmatched: she is able to reproduce even the smallest details-down to decorative flowers and textures-as well as incorporate personal inspirations, such as the bride's wedding china. Shelly's delicate attention to detail and quality results in a 3-6 month turnaround time for commissioned sculptures. To date, her unique mosaic dress sculptures have been shown in museums and galleries across the United States, Bermuda and Mexico.
