Finally, remember to enjoy your day! So much planning and thought goes into creating your wedding day, so remember to take some moments to reflect and take it all in.

Blush-Coloured Hair Accessories: You can compliment your hair accessories with your blush dress by selecting items that feature the same shade or similar tones. Blush-coloured hairpins, combs, or ribbons can seamlessly tie your look together for a cohesive look. You may  also choose to keep the elements ivory and silver but opt for rose gold or gold wire to bring out the warm tones.

Statement Hairpiece: If you're looking to make a statement, consider a bold and intricate hairpiece that adds drama to your look. A statement hairpiece featuring crystals, pearls, flowers or intricate details can serve as 'the' focal point while complementing your blush dress elegance. Many brides I work with opt for a statement headpiece over a veil.

Complimentary Shades: For a modern and minimalist approach, opt for sleek and chic bridal accessories. Choosing designs that incorporate delicate pearls is a lovely way to bring in the ivory or rich cream champagne tones. A chunky pearl comb or a delicate lace comb can be very effective at tying the look together and bringing some contrast.

Blush Jewellery: For a unique choice why not opt for delicate blush freshwater pearls? They combine beautifully with sparkly elements and diamanté's as well as more neutral shades of champagne and clear crystals and very well with ivory pearls.

I am always happy to offer advice so please feel free to get in touch.

Occasionally I meet brides who feel guilty or a little reckless allocating some of their wedding budget on bridal accessories, they feel they should spend it all on their guests. Yet all too often, I see photos of amazing looking brides, the dress is beautiful, the bridal hair and make up wonderful, and the bouquet is gorgeous but then I see a mass produced or poorly made, clunky hair accessory placed in the most beautiful styled hair and my heart sinks.  It just fails to complete the look in a pleasing way and lets down the rest. For me, this is like having the most stunningly decorated Christmas tree and topping it with a naff £1 star from the pound shop! (no offence to the pound shop)

What I'm not saying it has to be expensive to look good, it really doesn't, and you should never stretch beyond where your comfortable. What I'm also not saying is that those other styling or food elements don't add to the day, they really, really do.  What I am saying is don't feel bad about it. It's your wedding and spending money on your bridal look is perfectly okay.

So don’t feel guilty or overthink it.  Honestly, a beautiful wedding headband, bridal comb, hairvine or wedding hair pin will elevate your bridal look and take it to the next level. Not only will you look amazing but it has the ability to make you feel incredibly special and beautiful too. A good bridal hair accessory or wedding jewellery will tie your whole look together and compliment your dress and hairstyle perfectly.  

​Always remember that YOU are the star of every guests wedding photo, so shine brightly and beautifully and enjoy every moment!

I was delighted to meet Kirsty when she popped to see me after her bridal trial with Hannah (Brighteye Beauty) and explained that she wanted a design that would compliment and suit her hair colour and the beautiful textured design that Hannah had created.

We agreed on nothing too heavy looking and thought that the elements and the wire colour in this Miriam hair vine created a beautiful ‘floating’ effect, where all the crystals, pearls and leafy elements looked beautifully positioned.  Kirsty's wedding was by the sea so we decided to pop some Indian Sapphire and denim blue coloured crystals in the centre of the flowers and along the vine to reflect the colours of the sea.

I firmly believe the headpiece should fit the chosen style and be positioned in such a way that makes the bride’s hair and her head piece shine and compliment one another. It’s a beautiful moment when it happens and all fits seamlessly together!

Queen Elizabeth wore her crowns and headpieces with such grace and beauty. It has been hard knowing what to post over the last week since the news of her passing, but I have been captivated by her beauty and her own love of headpieces and jewellery! What better way to finally share this styled shoot as our very own tribute to Her Majesty's style and charisma.

A few months ago the North Devon Wedding Network members gathered at Moreton House in North Devon, a stunning grade-II listed Georgian house. We wanted to create a full glamour, romantic affair in the dream-like surroundings of the ballroom, the dining room, the piano entrance hall and the sweeping staircase.

I had the greatest pleasure of working with a fantastic couple last year, Chantal & Nick.They have just celebrated
​their 1st year wedding anniversary so it feels like the perfect time to look back on their special day and see how vibrant and fun they made it.

I first met Lucy at a wedding show and she promptly booked an appointment to come and visit me at the studio where she tried on a lovely range of blush/rose gold headpieces. She really wanted something along the back and sides to compliment her warm toned dress and her updo hairstyle and veil.

Autumn Weddings are becoming increasingly popular and this year I have worked with many brides all wanting to embrace the season and plan a wedding during the Autumn.
The obvious choice is to opt for burnt orange tones and bring in the warmth that way, but I also love rich plum colours, gold and navy and think they are particularly good at this time of year.

When Emily came to see me she was looking for something to compliment her gorgeous Stephanie Allin wedding gown which has the most beautiful sheer back detail and striking silhouette.

Emily had a relaxed, rustic, fun wedding planned, however being the bride, she also desired something 'extra special' to adorn her hair. At her studio appointment, we tried various styles and decided to opt for a lace comb to tie in to echo the  beautiful delicate details in her dress.  

Maria wanted a festive touch to her December wedding, so opted for touches of sparkle combined with the smooth, warm toned pearls in this bespoke lace piece. The comb was to be positioned at the back and to pick up the beautifully beaded shoulder details on her dress.
