I loved collecting tiny flowers as a child. I arranged them in egg cups and gazed at their little faces. I made flower crowns from daisies and ivy. Now I make pretty veils and capes for brides. The process continues. My beloved daughter makes daisy chains for my beloved granddaughters. They collect wild flowers from my garden to make flower shops and give that love back to us. 🌸🌻🪻❤️❤️❤️

As a small UK maker, it means a great deal to me to buy from UK suppliers. I proudly use UK made lace from . It is the best quality and made from cotton. Their beautiful, intricate designs are perfect for my pieces and wonderful to work with. They are the last Nottingham lace factory, run by generations of the samecfamily, using Victorian machines to make this exquisite lace.

This slim wedding garter lies flat to the leg, so it's ideal if you'd like to wear a garter with no bulkiness under a simple wedding dress. The front of the garter is hand beaded lace and the velvet band runs around the back of the leg. I hand dye it to the perfect shade of soft blue. The crystals are swarovski in a soft blue, making it a perfect secret something blue for your wedding day. This garter can be tweaked with options of pale ivory velvet, clear crystals, or tiny pearls. Click to shop online with free postage. If you buy direct from my studio I have 10% off through April.

Wedding stories begins today with a sweet wedding reception in St Ives. Jasmine happens to be my daughter, so I made her dress as well as her wedding veil. If you grow up in Cornwall you pop to the beach in your dress. I love the little girls watching Jasmine walk by.

This tulle is so beautifully soft and flowing and perfect for simple, elegant veils. It is similar in look and feel to soft silk tulle at a more affordable price. It can be gathered into a full veil, or softly gathered for more simple veils and will always fall in an elegant drape with no puffiness. It's a perfect choice for a simple understated veil. A plain edged carefully cut soft tulle veil will go with just about any wedding gown. Brides looking for added details can have a variety of soft appliques and trims added. I have a number of soft tulle veils in my shop (link in bio) which can also be tweaked into bespoke designs.

One of my favourite happy places is cutting, carefully arranging, then hand sewing beautiful pieces of lace to create unique, nature inspired ethereal veils and capes, for romantic souls. It's called applique and I love to use it to create natural, organic embellishments and edgings. Follow for more stories and bridal inspiration

What is a drop veil? A perfectly cut veil simply dropped over the head. It can be lifted back during the ceremony. It can be minimal, but also looks amazingly ethereal over decorative pins tucked into your hair, or even a flower crown.

Just putting a face to the name instead of hiding as usual. All of my pieces are made personally by me, with lots of hand sewing, in my studio.

How to style a juliet cap veil. Make it your own. It depends on your hair really. This image shows it with amazing plaited hair. With smoother styling the front of the veil can also come forward as much as you wish, to your forehead, or pushed back and tilted with the edging in a more vertical style
