What happens happens when your client is an amazing creative and florist?

When Morgan and I spoke about her wedding, I knew straight away her veil needed to be something very special. She spoke about all of the beautiful colours she had chosen for her day. When she mentioned her bouquet of orchids I almost fell off my chair!

I made it my mission to find and make something truly magically for her. Something that spoke of her love for colour and flowers.

And here she is 🥀

That’s how many beautiful little flower motifs are on Morgan’s veil.

All hand cut, pinned and sewn around 10.5 metres of hem.

The perfect veil for a flower lover 🥀

Sometimes all you need is a little repair. A new comb, some loose beads fixed, a hole repaired or a press and a trim.

It’s all part of the job 🪡

This is how I spend most of my time in my studio. On the floor, cutting, placing and sewing by hand all of the trims,motifs and beads onto my veils.

Its in this space, that I shut out the rest of the world and for a shirt time focus solely on what’s in front of me.

This is my favourite place away from the chaos.

The final beautiful piece for Lauren. A single tier, ivory silk georgette veil. Crafted to match her amazing embroidered gown (also check out those gold shoes 🔥).

The lovely grainy texture and matte look of Georgette makes it my favourite veil fabric. It also twinkles softly in the afternoon breeze.

The second piece I made for Lauren was this hand beaded headband.

I removed the original crown section from the headpiece and carefully took apart the trim. In keeping with the original headpiece theme, I bound the headband in tulle (just like the wired piece was) and hand beaded all the pearls and beads into place.

The finished band could be worn as a stand alone piece, or with the original beaded headpiece gifted to Lauren by her grandmother.

Both pieces came out for her reception which included a quick outfit change into a gorgeous satin jumpsuit!

Today is the perfect day to share this beautiful wedding piece I had the pleasure of working with. Family pieces are my absolute favourite. Call me sentimental, but from what I have seen out there, there are some amazing pieces hidden away in boxes just screaming to get out. I LOVE a good hand me down ☺️

This beautiful piece has now been worn by three generations of Lauren’s family. Each in a slightly different way. Originally it was just the beaded headpiece that was worn by Lauren’s grandmother. Then at Lauren’s mums wedding a beaded circlet was added. And finally for Lauren’s wedding we wanted to restore part of the piece and add something new and modern. The piece shown here is the original, but there is also a lovely little headband that I created from the beaded trim that Lauren’s mum added to the piece.

I’ll post some of the BTS photos for this one, not only to show you the time and effort that goes into each piece. But also so you can see just how amazing it is! All together I created a silk chiffon veil, beaded headband and restored the original beaded headpiece. So this one might need a few posts to show it all!
