I know such remarks get thrown around the Internet willy-nilly, but HOLY CRAP you guys this past week has been AWESOME! Above are just some of the wonderful snaps we've been sent of you rocking your new head candy from the Rock n Roll Bride collection! Be sure to search through the #rockglory on twitter or Instagram to see more of your beautiful faces, or upload a snap of yourself wearing one so we can see! Now without further ado, this last week in numbers....
74 hours clocked in the office - 2 exhausted but happy campers - 12,000 acrylic gems and counting - 1 bottle of very pink fizz to celebrate - 12 emails starting with an excited EEK - 3 continents that #rockglory pieces have winged their way to - 7 bloody awesome brides-to-be who will be rocking ears on their big day - 6 bridesmaids who'll be rocking out in matching Liberace ears (can't WAIT to see that wedding!) - 100 bags of pink sparkly heart confetti made to pop in the orders - 1 day spent scrolling through the internet in sheer excitement
What do you when one of your products gets featured in the biggest UK Sunday supplement magazine? Well, blog about it of course! Our Whole Lotta Rosie headband in Mint was featured in Fabulous magazine this month - in their front-page, fashion chart no less, ooh! You can get your mitts on one at MyFlashTrash.com
Before we popped off on holidays last week, I was delighted to take the trip to Bath to host our first ever Crown and Glory Workshop! Of course, we couldn't think of a finer occasion for our first ever crafting event than the gorgeous Megan's hen do - in a short space of time, Megan has turned from customer to a very dear friend and continually supports everything we do at Crown and Glory, so when she was looking for something fun and appropriate for all the female members of her wedding party to participate in and break the ice during the afternoon of her hen-do, I tentatively suggested that I'd be more than willing to host a Crown and Glory Workshop for her.
We decided it might be fun to theme the workshop around her wedding colours - pastels blues, greens, yellows and pinks - which gave me inspiration for the piles and piles of crafting materials and allowed the hens to create something they could consider to wear on the big day itself. We sat the party, 10 in total, in groups of 3 at a time so it gave everyone a chance to have one to one tutoring with their design! Even the least crafty-fingered of the group got stuck right in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves, coming back for more - some even made 3 pieces to take home! We even included little Crown and Glory goodie bags for the girls to take their pieces home in.
I was absolutely overwhelmed with the response from the hens that we've decided to roll this out as a package available to all! It's still very early days but there will be package options available - such as vintage tea party theme, glitter theme, festival theme to name a few - or we can tailor the package and materials to suit your wedding theme. Group numbers are a minimum of 10, and at £20 a head this will include all materials for up to 3 headpieces per person, equipment usage, one to one tutoring from myself, and a bespoke Crown and Glory goodiebag to stash your new creations in.
Think you might like us to host a Crown and Glory Workshop for your hen, birthday or bah mitzvah? Get in touch by emailing us at sales@crownandgloryaccessories.co.uk and we'll chat crafting, my favourite kind of chat there is!

The eagle eyed among you may have spied Crown and Glory on TV last week! The super gorgeous Rosie Fortescue donned our Whole Lotta Rosie headband in Cream to play a spot of tennis in the hit series, Made in Chelsea. The twittersphere was awash with comments on Rosie's sporty sartorial efforts, with Look magazine tweeting "The only thing saving this scene is Rosie and Mark Francis' headwear", ha!
What a mighty month May was for us at Crown and Glory! We've contended with not one but two bank holidays (they wreck havoc with my routines but I do enjoy a couple of days off!) and I'm sure you're all super bored of hearing how quickly time is flying. Here's what we got up to last month:
I point blank refuse to believe that we're way into the start of May already. While I'm welcoming the warmer weather (not so much today's sunburn, ouch!) I'm not welcoming how quickly this year seems to be flying by. At the moment, we're working on a couple of projects for later in the year which is super exciting, but for now here's what we got up to in April;
What did you get up to last month?
I spy with my little eye... the Made in Chelsea babes wearing our Whole Lotta Rosie crowns! Millie Mackintosh and Rosie Fortescue rocked their new roses in Blush Pink and Cream respectively, at the launch of DrLewinns new makeup range. You can shop their look right now!
It was a real treat to hear that this gorgeous wedding involved some of our favourite suppliers - shot by the stunningly talented Emma Case with hair and makeup by the amazing Elbie van Eeden. Lauren wore not one but two Crown and Glory hairpieces for her big day - a low key London pub wedding. Featured in print in this month's Perfect Wedding magazine, Lauren and Lee just look like the happiest, most loved up couple ever.
