Today
I'm going to tell you about two of the brides I'm working with at the
moment: Sarah and Zoe.
Sarah
arrived at our 'design meeting' with a fabulous back-up team of
enthusiastic bridesmaids. We spent time getting to know each other
and talking about the wedding that will be taking place on Devon's
emblematic coastline, which is sprinkled with beautiful coves and
traversed by a magical network of hand-carved Victorian tunnels!
After trying on my latest collection and popping open a bottle of
Prosecco (just to get the ideas flowing), the designs for all the
headpieces were settled.
The
'bridal code' prevents me from revealing any design details before
the big day, so I'll whet your curiosity with this hint: bohemian
chic meets 1940's goddess! Sounds exciting, right?
Zoe
and I met at the Something Kinda Vintage Wedding fair, and it was the
designer/bride version of boy-meets-girl! She with textiles training
and me a textile design aficionado... needless to say, we hit it off
straight away. After an enthusiastic exchange of ideas and materials,
I managed to find the perfect antique lace to match Zoe's dress. I
bet it will look fantastic with the unique embroidered cap I've
designed especially for her!
Meeting
people during one of the most important times in their lives is a
truly amazing experience. I can't wait to see these creations coming
to life, so stay tuned for updates!
