Back in January I met up with Emily to discuss some special
headpieces for her and her bridesmaids. Emily told me all about her
ideas and even gave me some bits of lace that she would like me to
include in the pieces.
And thus began a wonderful creative journey!
Having in mind the 60's-inspired look that Emily was planning for her
big day, I started off by reconstructing the scraps of lace, cropping
each piece individually and sewing them back together. This up-cycled
composition served as working base, to which I added the remaining
elements: the rose, also supplied by Emily, ostrich feathers, the
veiling, and other romantic and quirky details.
The bridesmaids pieces featured vintage flowers, ostrich feathers,
pearls and even the same lace fabric used on Emily's dress. This
particular detail completely transformed the pieces, giving them a
lovely emotional side: I think they make perfect keepsakes!
I was very happy with the finished work and I was even happier after
hearing back from Emily:
'It was a fantastic sunny day and I had so many lovely comments on my
headpiece, thank-you so much again.'
This
will be one project to remember!
Such a beautiful headpiece for such a beautiful bride x
