The faces behind the company are the lovely Matt and Charmian who decided to set up their business after their obsession with collecting vintage crockery for their own home got a little too out of hand.

12 Ways To Wear ‘Something Blue’ On Your Wedding Day

Written by Bespoke Bride, Posted in Accessories, Advice & Planning

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. The tradition is still as popular as ever but if you’re struggling for something blue then here’s a few ideas to inspire you! (rhyme not intended…we swear..)

A garter is, in our opinion, one of the best ways to wear something blue. If blue isn’t in the colour scheme for your big day then this way it doesn’t have to be on show! We particularly love this one from Etsy which you can purchase here ♥

Or perhaps blue is part of your color scheme! In which case, wear it proud! Adding blue detail to a dress can be absolutely gorgeous ♥

Wednesday Wedding Inspiration: Part 1 of our shoot at Yosemite with dresses by “Green Queen” Deborah Lindquist!

Written by Bespoke Bride, Posted in Bridal Fashion, Destination Weddings, Photography, Styled Shoots

Finally it’s here, the shoot we have been rambling on about since we came back from California a couple of weeks ago!

When we decided to visit California a shoot with the wonderful Mariel Hannah was always going to be on the cards, but when we were offered the chance to shoot dresses designed by eco couture designer Deborah Lindquist we knew it was going to be something special.

Deborah Lindquist is famous in the fashion world as the “Green Queen” designing environmentally conscious couture dresses as well as a host of other ready to wear apparel. She uses recycled and eco-friendly materials for all of her designs, not only ensuring she is doing her bit to take care of the planet, but also means that each of her designs has a very unique look. Many of Deborah’s designs have an iconic vintage cashmere style about them that has created her a following of fans around the world as well as with stars such as Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera and Rihanna.

All About the Groom: Introducing A Suit That Fits guide to finding your perfect wedding suit

Written by Bespoke Bride, Posted in All About the Groom

Today we wanted to do a little something for the lads. We know that most of the time we are getting all excited about wedding dresses, but your attire is all especially important. So today we thought we would let Claire from ‘A Suit That Fits’ fill you in on groom style. Ladies take note…

It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to looking for suits for your Groom and Groomsmen – the fit, style, colour and accessories all need consideration.

With more affordable, bespoke options on the high street, it’s now possible to have your Groom’s suit cut and stitched to perfection to make him feel really special. He can really personalise his suit with options such as having his initials (or the date of your wedding!) stitched onto his shirt cuff, or having his waistcoat lining matching the colour scheme of the wedding – the stitching on the buttonhole could even match your flowers!

Monday 16th April: Readings for the not so traditonal wedding…

Written by Bespoke Bride, Posted in Advice & Planning

Happy Monday everyone! Over the last few weeks, both my beau and I have been trying to find something we would like to have read at our wedding. It’s been quite a difficult task as we have specific things that we want or don’t want it to say. For example it can’t be too traditional as we are planning a humanist ceremony, but it’s important to us that the reading reflects our feelings for each other, however it can’t be too soppy because that just isn’t who we are? So to start the week off we thought we would share a shortlist with you of a few of our favourites, in the hope someone would find it useful if they are struggling to find the right words.
