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!

A Smile Worth a Thousand Words

This is one of my stunning Magpie brides from America, and boy isn't she just beautiful?

She has the sparkiest of sparkly shower bouquets, click HERE for a reminder.

When I opened up the email Michelle sent me and looked at her images I gasped....such gorgeous images...classic, timeless and that Smile!! The love is just blossoming from her smile.

She said this in her email;

"My guests were in awe over the bouquet!  The photographer was able to capture some great pictures of it.  And it went perfectly with my gown!!  The wedding truly exceeded all of our expectations and the bouquet was the icing on the cake."

Michelle sent me a locket, with her Dads photo inside...this is the reason I create these bouquets; the links we have to the past....creating something beautiful for the future...An Heirloom to pass down, a nod to the past...the shimmer of the even greater future...together.

I never fail to find the bliss in these bouquets

Michelle's Sneaky Look

One American bride.......One bouquet in England.....only one thing for it......Vintage Magpie's new toy!!!

I hope this gives you an idea of the movement in the drop, & enjoy a fun way to see your bouquet in the process!!!

Last but not least...

This is my last bouquet I have created before my own wedding in THREE WEEKS!!!!!

I simply cannot believe it is that near....the butterflies are starting to awaken....but more than anything, I am so excited...it seems unreal and slightly strange.... but I am enjoying all the preparations. (Including the very creative Hen do I had....photos to follow shortly!)

So I am now relaxing without any Vintage Magpie work....but I had to share this lovely pewter shower bouquet with you....I love the softness of the roses and the sweet scalloped lace ribbon.... and I adore the mother of pearl buckle...simple...but radiating style.

Imagine this against a lace overlay fishtailed dress............ohhh I cannot wait to see the photos!

Happy long weekend everyone xxx

Chocolate Heaven on a butterflies wing....

Well isn't she a beauty? A lovely American Bride wanted a Sparkling Crystal Bouquet in chocolate browns and golds......

...It took a while to find all the gorgeous pieces that went into it, but it was worth the freezing cold winter antique fairs...when snow thwarted my regular fairs and the bitter wind nearly got too much for even this hardy Magpie....

....But on this gorgeous August day, with the sunlight spilling through the Studio's windows...she does nothing but warm my heart....

...Do you see the golden butterfly resting in the sunlight?

She is flying to America now....waiting for her chance to shine on Haley's wedding day....

I wish her safe passage, luck and a lifetime of beauty xxx

Start speading the news.....

...I got a surprise today. Reading my blog comments I got a from Jen who photographed Kindal and Bo's wedding over in the USA.

She has had one of her photos, of one of my bouquet published in 'Well Wed' magazine New York issue!!!

So exciting.... go to her blog to take a peak....

I would love some more gorgeous couples like Kindal and Bo...they were super cool, lovely, kind, and sweet.

Time for the tears...

Kindal and Bo got Married on Saturday...My wonderful Amercian bride.

I have just seen some amazing photos of it on Jennifer Creed's blog, you just must look, NOW!!

I feel like I know Kindal so well after all the information she gave me to help create her perfect bouquet. They are a fun and unique couple and I have to say the photos brought a tear to my eye...Kindal you looked stunning, unique, and just perfect. Bo, what can I say...cool, cool, cool!!

I really cannot believe, that even though we are so far away from each other, we managed to create a perfect bouquet for you. All your fab information did the job... girl I think we are on the same wave length!!

Love, Laugh, and Enjoy your life together xxx

America here comes Vintage Magpie

This is my latest Bouquet. It is for the most friendliest American girl, I have ever had the pleasure of making a Vintage Magpie bouquet for.

She is having 4 bridesmaids and wanted them to have single roses but in different colours. I have kept the theme of her colours in the rose. They all have a different stem colour which makes it such fun. Each one has different charms on them to make them more personal.





With an invite to the lake house in Kentucky I think I need to get more American brides and one day me and The Wonderful Dutch Man can take a trip and meet them all.....Hmmmm......sounds like a good idea....

Kindal, I hope your day is as unique and wonderful as you are....Have drink for me! xxx
