A Teddy Bears Bow Tie?

Dont you just love her?

What would you do with her?

I have waited for a while to see if the right bouquet came along which suited this 'Great Gatsby' style brooch...however no bride was lucky enough...so she is now in my little shop 

What would you create with her? Add her to your best hat? Create your own heirloom bouquet? A ribbon belt? A cute hair pin? A glamorous teddy bears bow tie?

13 of your english pounds people... an utter bargain!

Happy sunny weekend to you all!

Blonde Beauty

She shimmers and sparkles like a professional...she has subtle hues of champagne and gold...

pearls, and crystals adorn her...if she was a woman she would be a 1950's film star...

Maybe she would have been Marilyn's cup of tea? I like to think so

My wonderful bride had this to say...

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for my beautiful creations.

I could not love her more! Absolutely gorgeous!

Every time I look at her I find something else I love about it!

They are even more beautiful in the flesh!"

 I think Marilyn would have been the same...even more gorgeous and delicate in the flesh.

Ohhh I love my stunning brides, their inspiration and creating these beauties for them!

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

Stunning Silk Ruffles

This is one of the last bouquets of this crazy wedding season!

My gorgeous bride loved my Rosa Bouquet, but wanted it a bit 'rougher', less like real roses...Her wish was my command, and this is now she turned out.

Her Groom needed a matching buttonhole...the mix of white, ivory & Champagne silk...pearls and crystal.

A ruffle of the ivory silk, with a sparkling gem finished off this soft, beautiful bouquet.

I love the colour combination of this bouquet...it is subtle, but so effective. The tiny seed crystals, add a sparkling flourish, which I adore.

Now I can have a little rest, put my feet up and enjoy being pregnant...

Well until next Sunday when I am at the Vintage Wedding Fair at Chettle House Dorset... I'm really looking forward to it!

Wishing you all a Happy Weekend

Black & White Thank You

Do you remember this bouquet?

Well this is it in all its glory.....

Don't they look gorgeous?

This is what she had to say...

"Thank you again for making my bouquet, it is amazing and I love it as much now as I did when I first opened the delivery box when you posted it to me. I am going to take very special care of it so that I can hopefully pass it down the generations."

Look at all that divine sparkle!

Fabulous

A Sneaky Peek

A matching cake topper for the gorgeous Sparkling Ivory Rose bouquet

I have just made 4 Sparkling Hand~Tied bouquets, for 4 beautiful Brides

I have 3 more patient Brides waiting for their little piece of Vintage Magpie heaven.

My studio looks like a tornado has wreaked havoc in it....my creative process can be a messy thing....one day I might be brave enough to post a photo of it!!

Happy Weekend!!

A Spring Shower.....

I have been making a lot of new bouquets for The London Vintage Wedding Fair on the 11th April...my little fingers are not in a good way...but it is well worth all the effort...

Just like Spring, this ivory shower bouquet is fresh and beautiful.

She is lovingly made with raw silk roses...sparkling vintage crystals and the cutest vintage millinery flowers. These are sooooo difficult to find I decided to uses every last one is this bouquet...they are also in that super cute vintage map cake topper.

The mother of pearl buttons are so milky and give that signature Vintage Magpie look...

Oh and that lovely drop is made with a freshwater pearl and T.H.E most twinkly diamante button...yes... a button!! Now that gets me thinking...what kind of amazing outfit they came off of.... but I bet the lucky lady looked a millions pounds in it!

A Spring Sparkler

This is what I have been working on for a little while now. It has the most divine creamy freshwater pearls in it... they work so well.

I love the odd shapes you get with pearls...totally

random, and unique. They make the bouquet look so classic.

I wonder....one day I might make one out of diamonds, and someones amazingly expensive jewels... that would be a special treat, but maybe a tad daunting...

...but if your reading William or Harry I would do it for free for your beautiful brides!!

Enjoy your Bouquet Jane!! xxx

Joy

2009 was a busy year for me... So many brides, so much Joy...

Jude's bouquet stands out as my special bouquet...

Not because I think it is better than the rest, but because the story of her objects meant so much to her... having people who couldn't be near her on her day... walking down the aisle with her... being apart of it... sending her Joy..

After having been in Holland this weekend, I saw Joy in another form... a bundle of Joy...a stork has sent a baby Boy...

Oh sweet Joy.

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.

Here are a few more of Vintage Magpie's Corsages and Buttonholes for you to look at!
