Glossary of wedding accessory terms
Many of you look at me a bit panicked as soon as I start using wedding accessory 'language!' during your consultations. How are you supposed to know what a hair vine is when you've never done this marriage thing before?! I get it, it's a bit like trying to get my head round what a Yorker is when I've never got into Cricket. So I thought I'd help you out by putting together this glossary of the most common terms you're likely to see, read or hear when picking out an accessory

Brave - Disney movie inspired Yorkshire Woodland Wedding
Who hasn't dreamt of marrying under a canopy of leaves? The scent of woodland in your noses, guests bathed in dappled sunlight, with a backdrop of birdsong to sing everyone on their way. I know that woods have a special place in my heart; reminding me of childhood walks with my family - our pet dog Wally (I'm not kidding!) crashing through the undergrowth, and as a grown up, a place where I never fail to feel an immense sense of peacefulness and calm. What a complete joy it w

How do I accessorise my veil?
Like this! I've long admired the work of Essex based designer, Heather, at Sash & Veil. Using the softest English and Italian tulle in her work, Heather embellishes her veils with Guipure lace, crystal beads, and by commission, a veil hand stitched with real flowers! So when Heather got in contact to ask if she could borrow my Mia diamante headband to use in a photoshoot showcasing her veils, my heart literally skipped a beat - and that was before I'd had sight of these oh-so

Me oh my Amy!
When beautiful bride Amy came to see me for a wedding accessory consultation, she was struggling to know what kind of hair accessory would work with her soft, mid-length veil. Over a cuppa, with her mum for company, Amy tried on some of my core designs, showed me her veil, and shared pictures of the detail on her gorgeous Ellis Bridals gown. Amy left my studio with lots of fresh ideas of the kinds of designs that would add the final flourish to her wedding day look, and over

A stellar statement hair accessory
I'm very excited to unveil my latest, and if I say so myself, most breath-taking design... Meet Estella. I couldn't let the season of ambers, bronzes and golds pass by, without harnessing everything I love about Autumn and using it in one of my designs. Estella emulates the light of a golden Autumn afternoon, when the sparkling summer sun is replaced by something much softer and appropriate for lighting the glory of the fading foliage around us. The golden diamante chains gen
