Alan Hannah Dream Bouquet

Once upon a time...there was a beautiful bride who wanted a bouquet to match her wedding dress, and ohh what a stunning dress it was!

She sent her ideas to a Vintage Magpie who's imagination was awash with ideas.....

Parcels arrived from the wondrous dress maker Alan Hannah.....with beautiful tissue wrapped surprises......

Silver and white...with a serious heap of twinkling sparkle.....handmade Alan Hannah daisy flowers, crystal drops, vintage millinery flowers, and sparkling jewels.....

Add a dress made of heaven...and you will be soaring with the stars on your wedding day.....

....This bouquet was a little Vintage Magpie Dream come true....I love it....Enjoy Jo xxx

A Bubbling Bouquet

This bouquet was not created for a Bride, but for a wife.....



So what are you doing to do with your dress after your day? One of my gorgeous girlie's decided she wanted it made into a Vintage Magpie bouquet..... so I asked her 10 times if she was sure she wanted me to take the scissors to her stunning dress.....then I cut.....this was the result.....




A splash of personal pieces...a measure of silk wedding dress.....and a celebratory champagne cork!!

The cork was from the champagne bottle that announced their engagement...too cute!

It now has pride of place in their bedroom.....how perfect xxx

Oh to have a 26" waist!

The perfect colour for our wedding

When I was around 11 I remember going down to our local Antique shop. It was called Miss Havershams... It was a shop of wonders...



...I bought the most delicate and enchanting beaded purse from her. I loved it...I had no use for it, I could hardly go out with it in my jeans or take it to school, but it fascinated me. All the work that had gone into it, something so small. I believe that is where it all began, the love of Vintage, the love of quality...the love of detail...the love of Sparkle!



Can you imagine my delight when having a browse on Esty I found these! All from Timeless Vixen Vintage...oh my! Yummy!!

Look at the work that goes into one of these gorgeous dresses

So after measuring my waist (!) I discovered, dear reader; it really wasn't a shock, that my post Christmas tummy would have to deflate a considerable amount... and that this might not be a possible option in time for our wedding...but a magpie can dream!



So I therefore order you, if you waist is lovely and slim, to hop right over there and BUY BUY BUY!!! I'm jealous and quietly seething... but I wouldn't blame you!
