I could not recommend this small business enough. I had a bespoke design horseshoe made for my great nieces wedding using a horseshoe that was her great grandads. Time was spent understanding what I wanted and some great questions - who knew ivory is not cream 🤨 unless you know! I felt very confident in my order. I was kept updated. The item was safely posted back in the timescale promised. It is beautiful and exactly as requested - keeping the original vintage patina - and I think value for money. I would 100% use again.

I met Nicola at a wedding event and was instantly impressed, she had explained all of the products she makes and that she sources vintage lace for her products. I had ordered a garter for my wedding and Nicola explained o can completely customise the garter with any coloured ribbon I would like and any kind of buttons, I had ordered the tie style, pearl button garter with a blue ribbon and mother of pearl buttons which is absolutely stunning! Nicola communicated with me throughout the whole process and even made sure the lace she had picked out for me was perfect for my style. I am so happy with my garter and I will be recommending the store to everyone I know, I had such an incredible, personalised experience. Thanks Nicola!

I had a really positive experience in purchasing my veil. I had started to panic as it was one of those jobs I’d been ignoring as it was hard to match my particular wedding dress due its vintage style and colouring. I told Nicola my worries and she reassured me, she even went to go and see my dress in the shop in person to get a real feel for the look I wanted to achieve. When I received my veil I was so happy, lots of lovely touches too with a little keepsake. Nicola is so friendly and talented. Very happy that I contacted you! Thanks again :)
