the lovely bride Alexis on her wedding day in Melbourne and the hair clip I hand made for her special day, made to match her necklace by Valentino worn later in the day at her reception.
Just one of the many little jobs I need to get through in a day...here I am adding the Swarovski crystal detail to the center of some pretty little flowers. This is for a wholesale job and will eventually end up as the trim on a little straw hat...only 120 to go !
A beautiful veil for a beautiful girl, the lovely April and the lead up to her wedding. I handmade her veil and comb and here are some behind the scene photo's of the process. I always add a nice clean machine edge to any veil I make as I love the effect and think it adds to the delicate look. I was there on the day to help set the veil and to help calm the brides nerves !
A Velvet Headband with bling that I recently made for a lovely lady getting married at 60. I love the mixture of the two colours and think that to offset all the black it's nice to add the buff colour to add some contrast especially on black hair. This is a good way to add interest to your wedding day without the hassel of a full hat on head situation. My design gives you the look of a small 1940's hat without the hat! The bling is swarovski crystals added for the wow factor - in this case an opalised buff colour to match the buff velvet.
