Bird of Paradise Candelabra

Had to share this pic with you of the latest candelabra I've prettied up for hire at weddings/events!

 

I used beautiful hackle feathers (which I bought by the meter from

The Embellishment Emporium - an online shop just full of gorgeous feather, bead and applique trims).

 

 

Dreamy Shabby Chic...

 

It's amazing what you can put together with a little creative thinking!

I've been looking for inspiration for vintage table centrepieces

I wanted something a little different to the norm'

I decided to use odd bits and bobs from around the house

to try out some ideas...

 

Top Hat n Tails!

 

A top hat makes a unique vase, filled with blooms and feathers (tails)

 

Or try old books, these look great piled on top of each other,

maybe even add a love letter poking out from the pages??

What will you use DIY Bride?

Vintage Tea Cup Wedding

This is a cake topper that I made for one of my purple brides today...

but when i put it in a teacup to photograph it,

I thought it would also make a lovely centrepiece for a vintage wedding...

Burlesque Bride or Prom??

I'd just finished watching Moulon Rouge when I started to make this corsage - I love that film and all the gorgeous burlesque and bohemian clothing!

This corsage would be great for either an alternative groom or bridesmaid at a wedding and would look equally as gorgeous setting off a prom dress.
Made from a very realistic looking lily in deep pink against black feathers.
A spray of black beads, netting and glass beads finish it off.
This is a button hole corsage at the moment but i can add a brooch back or make it into a wrist corsage or hair clip if desired - please just message me.
Measures 27cms at longest point and 15cms at widest point.

£12.00
