Handmade Wedding

I caught an episode of Kirstie's Vintage Home the other day, it was about a vintage wedding and got me thinking about my own wedding earlier this year

The advantage of being a self employed  maker is that you meet so many creative and wonderful people along the way. We could not have had the truly amazing day with out the help from family and friends but I just want to share some images and links from the talented and wonderful people and companies who helped make our day beautiful.

The dress.

My dream dress in an olive coloured silk, lace top, made from my grandmothers wedding dress, and you can't see it here but a beautiful pink lace underskirt- it rustled when I moved!

Marie's blog is here if you get the opportunity to go local, and support an independent designer/ maker- my only advice is do it!

My day was truly special, and although I know everyone loves their own day, what made it so amazing for me was knowing that so many talented people had contributed.  I had things that were hand finished and bespoke, but more importantly I helped independent makers earn their living.

There are so many talented people out there, take some time to hunt out the people who can make your day as unique and special as you x
