I love this time of year – the air starts smelling crisp and clean, the occasional golden leaf falls from the trees, the autumn wardrobe comes out of storage, and the late afternoon light is incredibly beautiful.
What makes this time of year even better for me is that now is when I start to receive photos from all my brides who were married over the summer. I just love seeing these photos – especially when it’s for a bespoke order where I have spent a fair amount of time getting to know the bride and hearing all about her wedding plans. Seeing a bespoke vintage headdress in all its glory on the day is fantastic – as I’m often a bit sad once they’re posted off to their new homes.
Today’s bespoke journey is Abi’s, who contacted me early in the summer to enquire about a bespoke gold vintage side tiara and matching gold vintage pearl necklace.

I’m incredibly excited that Mr M and I are about to buy our first house. Not our first property, as we bought a flat together about 5 years ago, but our first house. Our first front door, which we can paint whatever colour we like (oh dear… for someone who can spend ten minutes in…

I love bridal shrugs. Jacket, bolero, shrug – a gorgeous accent piece that serves so many purposes. In winter, a soft (faux) fur jacket can keep you toasty and warm all day; in summer a delicate beaded shrug can cover bare arms in a church ceremony; and all year long, a sparkling, sequinned bolero can…
