BRIDEZILLAS - BEAUTIFUL ACCESSORIES IN ONE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE

Bridezillas is a gorgeous Bristol boutique jam packed with all the finishing touches for your wedding outfit.   

Whether it's exquisite jewellery and headpieces, elegant shoes, luxurious lingerie or even beautiful gloves and frivolous petticoats, you won't be able to resist this Aladdin's Cave of sparkling accessories.

Bridezillas is owned by Amanda Davis-Harrison whose own wedding sparked her passion.  She found it hard to find beautiful accessories and, with each item taking a long search, Amanda soon realised the ideal would be a gorgeous bridal boutique, with everything under one roof where brides and their bridesmaids could relax, have fun and take the time to choose and try things on.

Opening the boutique gave Amanda the opportunity to create stunning headpieces and jewellery through her own collection, Abigail Grace Designs.  Her brand has gone from strength to strength and Amanda has plans to expand and concentrate on more new luxury designs, unique to each bride.  Abigail Grace Designs offers a bespoke service using a bride's heirlooms and vintage pieces, which can be incorporated into a headpiece or piece of jewellery.

Bridezillas now also offer a stunning luxury dress range - Eliza Jane Howell - the ultimate in 1920's boho glamour.

Amanda and her team like to treat all their brides like princesses as they choose the final touches to their wedding day outfit.  They take great pride in sourcing and delivering the best available products whilst creating a luxurious shopping experience and believe that this winning combination means there's absolutely no need for the modern bride to turn into a diva after all!

Winning Best Bridal Accessories for 2014 & 2015 at the Bristol & Somerset Wedding Awards, cemented Bridezillas reputation and their premises in Brislington is an oasis of bridal beauty where brides and their friends can enjoy the bridal shopping experience in a relaxed environment and feel truly special.

Bridezillas are here to help you find the perfect wedding jewellery and accessories to reflect your unique style and personality and, with a vast range of products from hand-picked quality designs, along with their own bespoke Abigail Grace Designs range, you're sure to find the right sparkle for you!

Once you've seen a selection of Bridezilla's range at the Wedding Fair you'll be queuing up to book your appointment at their beautiful boutique!

ATELIER 19 - THE INCREDIBLE ONE STOP WEDDING SHOP

Atelier 19 is a  vintage inspired concept boutique and atelier, the creation of award winning designer, Jan Knibbs, working with a collective of hand picked bridal and special occasion designers, alongside a curated eclectic creative mix of old and new curios, including French brocante finds.

Jan is a multi award winning designer, specialising in couture embroidery who makes one-off individual garments and accessories, perfect for special occasions, especially vintage, fairytale and bohemian weddings.  

In 2001 Jan won the embroidery category in the British Bridal Awards and has also won the Swarovski Prize and come second twice in the international prestigious Hand and Lock Prize for embroidery.

Noticing there was a gap in the market for brides looking for a more personal wedding experience, Jan dreamt of opening a shop to cater for all their needs as well as appealing to those looking for a unique garment or accessory and appealing to anyone with a love of beautiful, individual items.

Finding a lovely building in The Suffolks in the heart of Cheltenham's chic, bohemian Montpelier district, Jan brought her dream to life and opened Atelier 19 in the Spring of 2016.  

I met Jan 'on-line' when I kept seeing stunning fairytale photo shoots with the most amazing fairytale styling, exquisite dresses and accessories.  

Every time I saw one I realised Jan was behind these and, once I'd got in touch it was obvious I was going to love everything she designed!

Jan's designs are perfect for vintage, fantasy themed or boho weddings and she loves getting involved in the overall styling of your special day to ensure everything is perfectly co-ordinated. 

With her designer's eye, Jan has hand picked a collective of like-minded designers. 

Atelier 19 is packed with enchanting dresses, exquisite accessories and everything the bridal party could wish for, including bridal wear, outfits for guests and mother of the bride, as well as charming flower girl dresses.

Alongside the fabulous array of dresses, coats, millinery, original vintage dresses, antique lace and other accessories, there is an ever-changing curated eclectic mix of old and new curios, French antique brocante finds and handmade gifts by a selected group of artists, artisans and craft practitioners. 

Other members of the Collective include Philippa Couture, a previous British Bridal Awards winner, who makes beautiful tailored dresses, coats and suits, perfect for the mother of the bride.

The lovely Gemma Sangwine, a regular past exhibitor at the Wedding Fair is also part of the Collective.

She creates incredible hair pieces and tiaras incorporating vintage brooches. 

Gemma's collection includes tiaras, bespoke bridal fascinators, antique lace and jewellery and hats made with vintage fabrics. 

Gemma is the winner of the Three Counties Wedding Awards for Best Bridal Millinery 2016.

BE by Little Wings make delightful flower girl dresses from vintage fabric and antique christening robes.  

With all these incredibly talented people under one roof you can get everything you need for your wedding including all the finishing touches, which is what they do best!  

Atelier 19 can also cater for small hen parties in the shop, including vintage teas, makeovers and workshops and will soon be adding a dressing up/vintage party hire section in the basement, for which there's enormous demand!

As if all this loveliness weren't enough, Jan can also offer hen party weekends in her luxury self-catering accommodation, Cedars House in the Wye Valley.

It's the perfect slice of vintage heaven, ideal for vintage or themed tea parties, murder mysteries or cosy dinners.  You can either 'do it yourself' or Jan can organise tea parties, vintage makeovers, photo shoots and craft workshops, all tailored to your exact requirements.

Atelier 19 is not to be missed but, beware, once you're inside the doors you won't be able to resist!

DAYS OF GRACE VINTAGE - DREAMY ORIGINAL VINTAGE GOWNS

Visitors to Days of Grace are always amazed at their vast choice of dresses.

Linda Duriez has been a collector for many years since she first moved to Devon at the end of the 1970s where, with a passion for lace, she began to amass her collection.

The range spans from 1900 to the end of the 1950s in the main but there's often a coming out dress from 1960 or a boho 70s that she finds hard to resist.  

Linda has so many fine early examples of wearable Edwardian lace gowns and embroidered veils from that era you won't be able to resist.

Because of her amazing collection (and lovely personality!) Linda's always popular with bloggers and magazine editors and Days of Grace have been popping up on all the wedding blogs and are regularly featured in magazines.

This past year has seen more individual Days of Grace designs using antique lace, making each dress unique.  

Having such a large collection of lace means that original dresses that are too small can be adapted at the clever hands of their talented seamstresses making a vintage wedding dress more accessible to girls who are not size 8!  

     

                                       

Check out their Facebook page and scroll through their photos including 1920s beaded gowns, some newly created by Linda's film contacts.  

In addition to the dress they have all manner of beautiful accessories and vintage paraphernalia and are especially proud to be Gemma Sangwine stockists of one-off headdresses.
