Lily and Louie

Bristol Vintage is excited to welcome… Lily and Louie.

Lily and Louie create bespoke wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and headdresses. 

Inspired by many eras their styles tend to be vintage and often quirky, from tea-length silk dresses with fluffy, coloured petticoats, to elegant art deco inspired draped dresses.

They also make headdresses and veils to complement your look, with birdcage veils for the shorter 1950’s dresses, rose garlands for a country themed wedding and long silk tulle veils for those romantic, flowing lace dresses.

These bespoke dresses and accessories are made by designer Jayne Miller. 

She's currently based in London, so you can arrange an appointment by emailing studio@lilyandlouie.com. But good news for brides in the South West! Lily and Louie will be moving to Devon before the end of 2013 and the move will give them more space to display more dresses and accessories.

Come the New Year Lily and Louie will start designing a new vintage-inspired range.

This gorgeous range will see the addition of some flowing 1930’s inspired lace dresses and a couple of shorter dresses - perfect for the more informal wedding. Samples of the new designs will be ready for display around spring 2014.

But if you can't wait, then you're in luck, because Lily and Louie will be exhibiting their stunning dresses and beautiful accessories at our next Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair in March 2014. Come and meet them and get the dress of your vintage-inspired dreams!

Ruby & the Wolf

Bristol Vintage is thrilled that Ruby & the Wolf will be at our next fair.

Ruby & The Wolf is a recently launched Bristol-based florist and venue styling service specialising in weddings and events.

Where possible, and particularly during the summer months, owner Kirstie Deane buys flowers that have been grown locally and uses the foliage found growing in her garden, although this, she says, 'is more by luck than judgement’.

Kirstie is passionate about design and is inspired by fashion, interiors, art and, of course, by nature itself. Each Ruby & The Wolf creation, from buttonholes to bouquets and elaborate centrepieces are made with love and real attention to detail. 

Ruby & the Wolf's centrepieces have a timeless elegance which means they are often compared to paintings.

A social creature at heart, Kirstie loves a good party. She believes that the best ingredients for any celebration are good people, delicious food, great lighting and, of course, exquisite flowers.

Ruby & The Wolf can provide anything from personal flowers for the bridal party, right through to creating exquisite table-scapes or a full venue styling service.

Come and meet Ruby & the Wolf (and Kirstie!) at our next fair and see these wonderful blooms up close. If you can't wait till then, check out the website where she also runs a blog as well as Facebook and Twitter to find out more.
