An evening at the Silver Sixpence “Made By You” bridal workshop
I am priveledged to live near a vibrant community of small, independent wedding businesses with more and more opportunities to meet with them and experience the products and services they offer. A few weeks ago I got to spend the evening with Nicola from Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe at her new “Made By You” bridal workshop. We were joined by a group of brides-to-be, two of whom I’d previously met at my 5th birthday party the month before, and another couple I’ve exchanged emails with. Each bride-to-be was there to create a unique bridal accessory that they could wear on …

A spring open day and photoshoot to celebrate the new cathedral size wedding yurt from Hooe’s Yurts
The Easter weekend saw a fabulous open day hosted by Hooe’s Yurts in deepest, most beautiful Devon. They were celebrating the completion of their huge new 44ft yurt – a cathedral sized structure that can seat 120 wedding guests, or even linked to smaller yurts to create an even bigger space. It’s time’s like these when I wish I didn’t live so far north as I would have loved to attend the open day with Amy and Max from Hooe’s Yurts (especially as it was just up the road from my granny’s home!). Like you, I shall have to be …

Sneak peek of my lace and feather birdcage veil from An Era of Experience
I wasn’t planning on a lunchtime blog post, but I really wanted to share a quick picture of the birdcage veil I made last night at An Era of Experience. With much help from the lovely Nicola of Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe, I created this navy blue and cream birdcage veil, with feathers and lace, and blue netting. If you fancy making something similar, Nicola is running an exclusive “Made By You” bridal workshop in May where you can create your own, handmade headpiece, garter or ring pillow. There are still places available on the workshop if you haven’t …
