Last but my no means least, Megan asked us to come up with the decorations for her 4 bridesmaids hair, too! As they had mismatched pastel dresses Megan wanted to keep their hair accessories relatively similar but adjustable depending on their desired hairstyle for the day. We created pastel rose clips sets, in 4 sizes and 4 colour ways, that the girls could mix and match to clip into Heidi braids, a messy top knot, a side swept fringe and tumbling curls. As the roses are made of realistic looking foam, it's something the girls can wear everyday and be reminded of the most beautiful Cornish Fairytale.

In ten days time, we'll be packing our bags and heading up to the big smoke to exhibit at the UK's coolest gay wedding show. For those that don't know, One Love is the brainchild of A Most Curious Wedding Fair's Rebecca and ruby+diva's Sara, who joined forces forces to create an environment where same sex couples could be free from any awkwardness they may experience at a traditional wedding show. Each vendor has been hand picked because they are moved and enthused by the need for a same sex marriage to be legally recognised and in turn, a cool and stylish same-sex wedding event. We'll be there with Kat from Rock n Roll Bride, showcasing our Rock/Glory collection and accessorising the catwalk; think bears in glitter bow ties and femme's in floral crowns, oh yay! We've even designed an exclusive product to be launched at the show, all to be revealed soon.
Other exhibitiors include tailors that make suits for both men and women, honeymoon companies that have the insider knowledge of the best getaways for discerning gay couples, an Icelandic wedding destinations company (one of the hippest places in the word right now), bow ties and handkerchiefs in vintage fabrics, florists that use mid century ceramics rather than oasis blocks on mirrored bases (shudder), crafters who allow you to make your own wedding rings, and cake makers who create edible works of art inspired by contemporary design rather than silver bells to name but a few.
One Love will be held at The Hospital Club, London on 19th and 20th October. Tickets can be purchased here. Please do let us know if you intend to pop by!

Every time a bride gets in contact to request a custom order for their wedding day, it makes me glow with pride. But Sama took it to the next level. Not only did she want a custom floral crown to compliment her spicy, Mediterranean colour scheme, but she also wanted to incorporate the vintage ivory wax flower garland her mother wore on her own big day. The pressure was 100% on!
We were asked to come up with a bridal-inspired DIY idea for this issue, and the culmination was us contributing a super fun but uber achievable DIY tutorial for creating your own custom embroidered tattoo inspired fascinator. This was such a fun project to work on and seeing my face in print on the 'Contributors' page definitely ticks something off my vanity bucket list!
