Hair we go

I bought my veil after much musing, deliberating and finger biting! I'm in love with my double layer teardrop veil by Twigs and Honey. The champagne tulle veil is very dreamy! I love the drama and volume that the double layer offers.  I really wanted to wear a veil for that once-in-a-lifetime look. I think the style, colour and length will really enhance the look of my tea-stained dress and more importantly...make me feel like a princess!

There has been a revival of the Juliet cap veil. Assosciated with the 1920s and 30s and inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, this style if flawlessly chic. Vintage Veils are able to make a Juliet cap veil similar to the veil that Kate Moss wore.

Romantic Lace

Delicate hand-cut fondant designed to resemble the lace is very romantic. I love the simplicity of this concept. They look so perfect, I'm not sure that I would want to eat it! 

The Royal Wedding cake has certainly inspired a wave of lace. This cake is an eight tier work of art!

Tea Cup Candles

I've been giving some thought to the display of for the wedding breakfast long oval table. I'd like to include some of my vintage china collection so that it can be enjoyed, appreciated and adored! I stumbled across the idea of making teacup candles and found some great kits on Ebay for making my own. I'd like to use a rose scent, nothing to overpowering.  I think this such a quirky and quaint idea.
