Bridgerton: 5 Ways to Channel Your Inner Daphne at Your Wedding

Hand crafted accessories with a Bridgerton aesthetic

Hand Painted Maximalist Footwear

Throughout the Bridgerton series, Daphne’s character develops to become a strong young woman and her wardrobe reflects that. She starts in shades of white and extremely light blue and then the shades get darker as the series and her character progresses. You can emulate her strength and beauty with a gorgeous chunky soft leather boot with inlaid mother of Pearl heel, crafted by artisans and delicate custom painted baroque emblems and roses. Style pictured is a collaboration between myself and the extraordinary footwear designer-Freya Rose-I interned with her during my placement year at university and the experience was invaluable to me. Freya is a truly nurturing, kind soul and I learnt so much from her! Style pictured is available at Freya Rose-click here to shop.

Maximalist Stationery

I absolutely loved working on this stationery set with decadent baroque patterns, a modern colour pop and hand finished with Finetec gold paint and glitter. Hand illustrated in Daphne’s signature blue.

Swoon Worthy Hair Accessories

‘Diamond of the first water’. I crafted this feather light hand shaped and cut paper tiara to radiate the beauty of a debutante in her heirloom diamonds and white feather plumes. It’s so delicate and as it catches the light is sends cascading sparkles across the room. I’m going to be launching a hair accessory collection very soon and I am soooo excited to share it with you!

Custom Hand Painted Wedding Favours

Wedding favours are recently more and more frequently under discussion regarding their relevance to modern weddings. But they needn’t be gimmicky or something for your guests to throw away after. Nothing makes people feel special and thought of like luxury wedding favours. These little coasters are hand painted with a bespoke design to match back to the stationery set. Find out how I can create custom products like this for you by getting in touch here.

All of the flowers in Daphne and the Duke’s stunning wedding scene are handmade and painted silk. These paper petals are handmade and hand dyed to get the most gorgeous soft blue tones.

Paper Flowers: 5 Reasons to Pick a Bunch

Creative Freedom

 

Having trouble deciding on your wedding flowers? Nothing quite fulfilling the ideas you’ve dreamt of for your wedding?

Because we’re starting on a literal blank canvas, we can add any texture/paint/glitter/finish you can imagine. All of my flower petals are hand dyed and shaped which allows for total creative freedom and control-no one saying that it just isn’t possible!

Cue leopard print palms and metallic gold roses! I absolutely LOVED working on these Valentines inspired heart print palms. I can work to any colour palette or scheme that your heart desires, the sky is literally the limit and I adore working on your ideas!

Repurpose Those Petals

 

After your wedding day you can find a multitude of ways to repurpose those paper petals! They can be kept as floral displays in your home, reworked into wreaths, made into flower crowns for when we’re finally allowed to go to festivals again, gifted as posies to loved ones, or immortalised in a glass cloche. Provided they’re given the correct care, they can last for years to come and serve as a unique reminder of your wedding day.

Out of season flowers all year round

 

So you’re having a winter wedding and you have been dreaming of having cascading white peonies, but they’re out of season-none available anywhere! Cue paper florals! 180 gsm crepe paper allows for a paper light and divinely  crinkled finish which is remarkably close to the real thing. And unlike the real thing which only survive for 7-10 days, these paper blooms will last a lifetime. They make an incredible and luxurious alternative to wedding favours, why not invite your guests to take home some blooms after the event?

Hair Accessories to last a lifetime

 

Flower crowns make a stunning alternative to veils or more traditional glitzy accessories. They can be made to match your bouquet and worn for years after. Whether it’s big blousy blooms for a statement or more delicate pieces for an elegant wedding, each piece is constructed with the utmost care and completely bespoke. With the right love and attention they can even make beautiful heirlooms.

Cute AF Bridal Party Gifts

 

Struggling with finding the right gifts for your bridal party? Why not gift them their bouquets after the ceremony? 

I am obsessed with decoding the meaning of flowers, the Victorians used to use this system as a way of passing secret love notes. Why not craft bouquets which represent each of your squads personality and what they mean to you?
