{Beautiful Wedding Veils}

As ever our wedding veils are extremely popular so we have expanded this collection by adding three pure silk veils. Nothing quite compares to the feel of a pure silk veil and they look fabulous with slim fitting dresses. We have also added an all over lace veil and a few veils with a scattering of crystals. Our ‘barely there’ veils are so popular we have added a silk style version, pure silk version and a lace edged option. These veils are great if you just want a hint of a veil or would like to pin a delicate accessory over the veil comb (see our new multipieces below). There are many different edging options with motifs, silk flowers, soutache braid and horsehair to name but a few. My personal favourite is our new Layla veil, this is a two tier silk style veil with extra long blusher, it looks fabulous in photos!
If you are interested in buying a veil from us we recommend you buy our tulle, lace or edging samples to compare to your dress before purchasing. To make your wedding veil extra special and personal to you we can hand embroider two initials and your wedding date to any of our veils. Embroidered Wedding Veil For more information we have a complete guide to veils and are always happy to help! We have many different veil storage options available to help keep your veil safe before and after the wedding.

{Bridal Jewellery & Headpieces}

Our headpieces in particular with a new selection of pieces called ‘multipieces’. These are 2-3 pieces bought in one product that join together in different ways. Adjust your look for ceremony and reception easily and save money compared to buying separately. There are 5 designs in different combinations. For example you could buy a piece made up of a centrepiece and extra long vine and either wear them separately at different points during the day or hook the vine over the teeth of the comb of the centrepiece to create a statement piece. We have so many brides who struggle to find a hair accessory and veil that work together, so these pieces have been specifically designed to work with our single tier veils and we love the effect! Some of the pieces are also multifunctional - all the extra long vines can also be worn as belts and the medium vines can also be turned into bracelets. We’re super excited about their versatility and can’t wait to see our real brides wearing them. We will be expanding this collection so by all means get in touch with your ideas- we love hearing from brides.

{Capes & Cover Ups}

A totally new collection for us is cover ups and capes. We have spent months working on the patterns and sourcing the finest materials to create the most beautiful designs. Like all our pieces they are hand cut, hand sewn and hand finished in our boutique in Bradford on Avon. Our faux fur shrug Marta is made from the softest fur we have ever felt and lined with sure silk! Just what you need in this freezing weather! We love pearl buttons and have created a selection of lace cover ups using this pretty fastening up the back as well as a long sleeved beauty with a pure silk sash tie. Some of our favourite cover ups have to be the Jolie and Edwina, both were a real labour of love and will add a very glamorous finishing touch to a simple gown. The Imogen cape is a fabulous alternative to a veil for a real statement look and the wraps are super versatile- wear them over your dress or over a garter for your ‘getting ready’ shots. The garters shown are from our sister company The Wedding Garter Co.

{Shoe Clips}

One of our favourite new collections is our shoe clips. Turn a boring shoe into something special and you can wear them again and again! We love the Ethel, a super sparkly deco clip and the Dora, a grosgrain bow for a fun twist! Bridal Shoe Clips For Customising Wedding Shoes
