Four Hundred

Can this really be my 400th post? Wowsers...how amazing!

10 buttonholes & One Bride

Awash with Sparkle

Frayed silk, and aged trinkets...faded pearls and glimmering crystals.

This mixture never gets old to me.

Muted colours...Ivory, white & Champagne

Add in a Bride who's wide smile, and sheer delight, made this Magpies month!

Happiness to me is still a bouquet of Sparkle.

Here's to another 400 posts!

Festive Special!!

Hello Lovelies! 

Well the tree is up, most of the pressies are brought, the Christmas music is ringing in my ears & the shop is awash with festive beauty. Therefore I am feeling in the Chrismassy Spirit.

To honor this happy holiday season I am offering an amazing...

 10% off my Gorgeous Amelia Bouquet.

She is a true Christmas Cracker....Simple, Stylish & a Classic Beauty!

She would twinkle away at a candlelit wedding whilst getting admiring glances from all your guests...

Or... She would happily be whisked away in your hand luggage for that stunning destination wedding that we all crave this time of year!!

Will she sit waiting under the tree for you this Christmas?

Miss Amelia would love to walk down the aisle with you & make your day truly Magical.

Merry Christmas

Vintage Wedding Fair

I cannot wait to be showcasing my work at Chettle House in October

The Vintage Wedding fair sounds like such fun. Filled with gorgeous vintage-ness!

If you would like to see my work in the flesh, I would really love to see you there!

Plus you have a really good excuse to look around this stunning house!

Ready to Walk

I have 3 new 'Ready to Walk' bouquets now in my Etsy shop

Aubrey

Aubrey is a petite and super beautiful bouquet....she has stunning Ivory life like handmade raw silk roses. A ruff of vintage crystal, faux pearls, vintage buttons. Her simple lines and cute size would work so well with many dresses....and so many colours.....Pop over and see her measurements HERE

Mabel

 Mabel is a Mocha delight...a colour combination which works so well for many of my brides. She has fabulous curves and a wonderful vintage crystal drop, which will move with you. Her feathers add a finishing touch and a softness which I know you all adore!!

Pop over and check her out HERE

Amelia

Oh Amelia...I heart you, your soft creamy pearls, your gorgeous sparkling jewels, & your mother of pearl buttons. Amelia is a divine bouquet. She longs to be whisked away from dreary England and taken somewhere to let her crystals sparkle...or maybe a candlelight reception would be perfect too!!

Go and see her in all her glory HERE

I hope you find one perfect for your day!!

A Sneaky Look

3 bouquets ready to go onto my ETSY shop soon.

But I thought you might all like a sneaky look at them first!

Wednesday.....What a girl!

Wednesday is Vintage Magpie's newest Bouquet......

She is so dreamy....soft muslin roses, sparkling crystal, vintage buttons....the gentle white glowing in the sunshine....

Finished with vintage Mother of Pearl buttons....carved Mother of pearl buttons; I'm like a bee to a tasty flower whenever I see these beauties

You can find her in my shop page or HERE

I have always loved the name Wednesday...I have longed for such an unusual name....a name that no-one would forget...a name to live up too.

Boardwalk 1920's photo shoot

The rather lovely Tiffany Grant Riley and the super fab photographer Kirsten Mavric took my wonderful 'Gentlemen prefer Jane' heirloom bouquet out for the day.....

To be a sparkling star on a 1920's inspired photo shoot in London's Alexandra Palace.

Simple style and classic lines suited her so well......

The shoot has been featured by Annabel over at 'Love my Dress'....why not pop over and have a proper look at all the gorgeous-ness....cute shoes, fab invites, divine dresses, wonderful hair and make up & much more....

....and if you have fallen for 'Jane' she is for sale HERE....she is a star and would sparkle perfectly for you on your special day.....

My Gentlemen Prefer Jane Bouquet..... Farewell x

I was so sad to hear that the bombshell, the knockout, and downright gorgeous lady that was Jane Russell has died.... she was just  F A B O L O U S....so I have dedicated my newest bouquet to her..... here

Gentlemen prefer blondes is one of my all time favourite films. The styling, fashion, story and acting is just wonderful. Both her and Marilyn are captivating on screen. They are both fantasy dinner party guests of mine

This lady was sensational..... gorgeous, fun, and fierce!

An idol in the truest sense of the word.

The pool scene...a delight!!

Rock those outfits girls!

Farewell Jane, heaven will sure look and sound beautiful with you gracing them with your presence.

These dresses are from BHLDN (pronounced beholden) This is the new range for brides from Anthropologie...I think they are divine!

I also think my new bouquet is pretty divine too, I adore the colours, and the vintage French beaded flowers,  but the colour is a hard one to put into a bracket, so I have included this colour chart to help inspire my gorgeous brides....

I think this Jenny Packham cruise dress is the perfect match......I am always blown away by JP's cruise ready to wear dresses, I would love to own one one day!

My new collection of bouquets will be in my shop by the weekend, I hope you all pop over and have a look!!
