About Us

Senseless Beauty is our specialty!

We are Shawna and Chiavan Ashley, a mother-daughter team whose passion for beauty leads us to create one-of-a-kind works of art to adorn you, your home, your photography studio, your wedding, gala, or other special events.

Shawna: As a child, playing with dolls was my favorite activity, and I especially loved dressing them up in whatever materials I could find.  Today it’s like déjà vu as I’m privileged to dress up my own daughter in our latest design! As an INFJ I prefer to remain in the beautiful background and instead shine the spotlight on others, so our symbiotic partnership is ideal for both of us.

Until recently I have only been on Etsy.com and since 2009 have designed for over 6,000 weddings worldwide. My award-winning designs have been discovered and featured by many well-known outlets, including:

  • Victoria Magazine (Victoriamag.com)
  • Fairy Hunter Magazine (http://fairy-willow.com)
  • Vintage Bride Magazine
  • TLC’s Four Weddings (four times)
  • Universal Studios
  • Javitz Center galas, NYC
  • Upscale hotels

I would be honored to create a fabulous custom design for you…and you can be assured my focus will be on you and bringing your vision to life!  As my numerous reviews show, my customer’s joy is always my highest reward.

Chiavan Ashley:  While my primary passion is creativity in fashion and set design, I am a singer, dancer, model, and improv actress with both film and theatrical training.  My academic degrees are in Communications and Psychology, and I seem to inspire others to be free to express themselves with their own unique personality and style.

Although I never seek the spotlight, as an ENFP, the spotlight seems to find me…especially as I love creating new characters, each with its own outfit and wig-du jour. The coffee shop barista or sales clerk never recognizes me the next time I show up!

My favorite outfits of all are the ones I am privileged to model for Ivyndell…and I can’t wait for the next one to arise from that well-spring called Imagination!

“This White peacock pair is even more beautiful in person than I could imagine! Shawna went above and beyond to make our vision come to life! I sent her a photo of what we were going for and she nailed it! They are so realistic looking and we can’t wait to have them on display. Shawna was so easy to work with and I highly recommend her work.”
