One Happy New Year Bride

Getting a Thank you email is one of the highlights of my job. I love to know my Brides, or as in this case the Groom, has had an amazing day.

Getting married on New Years Eve must be so exciting, and when Chad bought Aubrey for his Bride to be, he was pretty excited by the whole thing! But hey with this stunning bride, who can blame him!

 Their smiles say everything to me.

What a beautifully happy couple.

Chad ordered his Brides bouquet through my Etsy shop. He lives in America, and received his bouquet in 7 days! 

I have another bouquet which is being whisked off in a Brides hand luggage to New York, to get married in Central Park!! Wow, can you imagine how gorgeous that is going to be...I am waiting with baited breath for those photos!

America seems to be the hot spot for Weddings right now!

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!

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.

Miss Katie & Mr Noel

A month ago The Wonderful Dutchman and I were at Miss Katie's & Mr Noel's wedding. It was a glorious day of love, laughter, happiness and tipi's! It seems like 4 months ago & I cant believe I havent blogged her bouquet! 

Miss Katie originally wanted an ivory bouquet, but once she had found her dress and told me about it we decided on a mixture of purples....3 different tones worked a treat!!

I tried different colours to bind the bouquet....it took a while to finally go bold with her handle...the plum worked so well, and a little change is always good.

Miss Katie married my best friend. I have known him since I was 12, shockingly that was 18 years ago. Noel is a wonderful friend, always positive, happy and possibly the most talkative person I know. He is so hardworking. He traded his talents in metal work for their wedding bands, making protective window frames for the jeweler who created their rings....stories like that are never far away with this adorable couple :)

I cannot express what pride I had seeing them get married. Being a little part of it was beautiful.

I wish this gorgeous little family all the luck, love, health, wealth and happiness this Magpie can give.

Here is to may more cute babies, a lifetime of holding hands, a showering of kisses every day, a million hugs and for the stars to shine so brightly over their marriage.

I love you guys!!

Sparkling Winter Wonderland

I love the soft sparkle of these Sparkling Crystal Bouquets... Each one I make, each time I finish one, I am always amazed just how different it is from the last one.





This Hand Tied style is still my most asked for design... It is small enough for hand luggage for the ever popular destination wedding, stylish enough for all dress styles especially short, slim-line, or fish tail dress, and has a Sparkle to die for. The vintage crystal give a deeper depth of sparkle than the new crystal.

This is a bouquet I made for one of my winter brides...I wonder if it will snow for her? Can you imagine the photos! Glorious

Even the men got their chance to shine. I adore these simple buttonholes. They bring the whole theme to together.
