BRISTOL VINTAGE CROCKERY & PROP HIRE

Without blowing our own trumpet we thought we ought to tell you a little bit about ourselves!  

Bristol Vintage was started by Ali & Katie nearly six years ago and in that time we've supplied crockery and afternoon tea services for scores of weddings, hen parties, baby showers and anniversary parties.

We adore all things vintage, particularly beautiful china, cutlery & props and we lovingly collect every piece ourselves.

Katie now runs her own company The Dandy Cabin while Ali has Bristol Vintage, but they still meet regularly over tea & cake to sort out the worlds' woes and plan their next adventure!

These days Bristol Vintage can supply afternoon tea crockery for up to 320 people, dinner crockery for up to 180 and lots of gorgeous props, like Mabel, Rose & Albert, our vintage bikes; vintage gramophones & records, cameras, books, our vintage sledge, picnic baskets, vintage throws - and can source other vintage items you might need.

Ali also sells one-off pieces of vintage ephemera and kitchenalia at one of our favourite places, Cox & Baloney's Vintage Boutique, where you can have a great cup of tea & cake on vintage china whilst shopping for all things vintage!

We really hope you'll love the fair - we do and we love meeting you and helping you with your wedding!

Flo-Jo Boutique

On a popular independent shopping street in Bristol you'll find a beautifully styled shop that Bristol Vintage loves... 

Designing, sewing  and making all things vintage-inspired since 2004, owners Delia and Erika of Flo-Jo Boutique on Gloucester Road host brilliantly fun knicker-making and sewing parties.

The knicker-making workshops are a very popular hen party choice. Over 3 hours you'll make a pair of knickers and contribute to the making of a garter for the bride-to-be using a selection of new and vintage lace and trims, retro-style prints, buttons and bows.

Flo-Jo Boutique serve tea and cakes on vintage china and you'll finish off your party with a glass of bubbly in vintage Babycham glasses. 

Groups have a really good time bonding over their making experience and it's something that mums will enjoy too. They cater for all ages and sewing experience, from total novice to fashion designers. 

Flo-Jo is more than just knicker making.  They have a gorgeous selection of designer fabrics, quality haberdashery and craft gifts to inspire.  Looking for a retro fabric print?  These are your ladies!  They also offer a year round program of dressmaking and craft courses, children's sewing parties and baby showers!

So join the knicker-making revolution with Flo-Jo Boutique and make sure you visit them at our 2015 Fair on Sunday, March 8th. Delia will be bringing a selection of their wares to inspire you.  Save the date!

The Dandy Cabin

We at Bristol Vintage love The Dandy Cabin and we know you will too. This beautiful wooden teardrop trailer is a mobile drinks bar perfect for weddings!

She can arrive complete with Babycham glasses for your champagne toast...

... or, because she's perfectly self-contained, she can sit in a field or garden and you can still have a yummy cup of hot chocolate or Fairtrade tea and coffee.

So whether you're after a champagne bar for your reception, or tea and cakes to keep your guests fed and watered while you're having your photos taken, The Dandy Cabin is the way to go for a vintage-style wedding. She certainly turns heads!

Cox & Baloney

Nestled on Cheltenham Road in Cotham, Bristol is a boutique full to the brim of vintage-inspired gems.  With everything you could possibly need for creating a truly vintage life-style, from clothing (ladies and gents) to furniture, homewares, a dressmaker, Annie Sloan paints and of course, a gorgeous vintage-style tearoom next door – Cox & Baloney is the place to be.

For owners Amy and Joney, it doesn’t stop there – they offer vintage-style hen parties and small, bespoke weddings in their tearoom!

A hen party with Cox & Baloney begins with the very best tea and deliciously gooey homemade cakes. Did you know they have their own tea brand and blends? There’s Babycham from vintage teacups too, all served in your own private room and followed by a workshop of your choice. You could try your hand at making knickers, nipple tassels, hair fascinators, tutus or having a vintage Hollywood-style hair and make-up lesson or even a naked butler! They’ll organise everything you need and make sure you have a wonderful time. You can even let your hair down and try on as many vintage outfits as your heart desires. Of course, if you need a little assistance, they'll be around to help you achieve exactly the right look.

   

Come and meet the Cox & Baloney team at our next Fair.  They’ll be on hand to answer all your questions and will have a number of vintage-inspired treasures to show you - everything they stock has been lovingly hand-picked and is either original vintage, designer or limited edition.

You can find Cox & Baloney on Facebook and Twitter as well as in store, so if you’re planning a hen party with a vintage twist or a small, bespoke wedding – they’re the ones to call.
