DAYS OF GRACE - BEAUTIFUL HEIRLOOM VINTAGE GOWNS & ACCESSORIES


We're thrilled to have Linda and Stephen Duriez from Days of Grace joining us again this year.  Specialising in genuine vintage bridal gowns from the turn of the century to the 1970's, plus their own vintage inspired designs, their stand is a treasure trove for vintage loving brides or anyone who wants to own a beautiful genuine vintage gown or headdress.

With a reputation as one of the foremost vintage bridal suppliers, this last year has seen an increase in both the stock and the national recognition of Days of Grace, with mentions in last spring's Vogue Magazine, as well as countless big name blogs.

A visit to this amazing shop, situated in Budleigh Salterton, just a stone's throw from the beach, is a MUST, so we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have them bringing so many of their beautiful pieces to the Fair!

Linda says "It's such a perfect showcase and full of exquisite, creative individuals that are so inspiring and are the best in their range.

There'll be lots and lots of lace dresses from every era - 1920's beaded numbers, delectable headdresses and fine veils and those one of a kind antique heirloom pieces we are known for that make a visit to Bristol Vintage a wedding fair like no other!"

LE SOULIER - BEAUTIFUL SHOES TO WEAR & KEEP FOREVER

I'm very excited that Le Soulier will be exhibiting with us in Bristol!  Her shoes are literally a work of art to wear on your wedding day and have forever as a keepsake of your day.

I came across Le Soulier whilst scouring the web and wedding magazines looking for new and unusual suppliers who I felt would appeal to the brides who attend our fair. When I felt my heart beating a little faster I knew I'd found something really special.


Sonia, an innovative shoe designer who graduated from the University of Reading with a degree in Footwear Design and Construction, honed her skills designing for many well known high street brands.  Being such a creative soul she formed her own company 'Sole Creations' working with top designers, transforming their bridal collections.


Sonia's philosophy is to make wedding shoes that stand out from the crowd by adding personality and creating a style statement.  Her shoes are works of art that are totally personal to you. 

Dealing with clients all over the world, Sonia's service couldn't be more simple.  You buy your own shoes, ensuring a perfect, comfy fit.  Sonia can create hand painted designs on almost any surface (silk, leather, synthetic) with the exception of patent or gloss and, as long as there is enough surface area for your desired design, then any style, colour or heel height will work. 


You can email or call Sonia to discuss a colour scheme and overall look to complement your dress and flowers and you can post or email swatches and samples. Nothing is impossible create, from flowers, tartans & bows through to your married name and more, - the choice is endless.


Once you've both decided on the final unique look, Sonia does her magic and transforms your plain, dull shoes into your very own personal work of art.


No two pairs are the same and if you're wondering where to start, take a look at the Le Soulier Brides page or at her gallery

I'm already planning my ideas for a pair of Sonia's shoes for my 20th wedding anniversary  and I know I'll be joining the scores of happy customers on her site.


Sonia's unique creations are beautifully hand-painted with love and care and are something you will be able to cherish for a lifetime as part of your wedding day.

Sonia herself can't be with us on the day but several of her gorgeous pairs of shoes will be to get your creative juices flowing!

THE LITTLE WEDDING HELPER - TAKING THE STRESS OUT OF STYLING!

Most brides have an image of how they want their wedding day to look.  Some spend months sourcing and hand making items for their big day but struggle to put it all together at the last minute, when they're so busy dealing with dresses, bridesmaids, catering and guests.  Others love the ideas but don't know how to pull it all together or might just not have that creative bent.  Or maybe you just need a bit of help but want to do the majority yourselves?  Whichever type of bride you are, Kirsten Butler, aka The Little Wedding Helper, can make your event truly magical.


First things first - what is the Little Wedding Helper?  Well, Kirsten is an award winning stylist - she's an incredibly talented lady who transforms venues from pretty into magical!  She's full of ideas to make your day personal to you and give your venue that WOW factor!  


Every couple want their own personalities to shine through on their big day - whether it's mismatched coloured glass bottles filled with country flowers, cute vintage knick knacks for your tables, a selection of family photos in beautiful frames, scrabble letters spelling out the Bride & Groom's names or a suitcase for the table plan, Kirsten can do it beautifully.  What I love is that she can bring all your ideas to life, but she's always ahead of the game, spending hours researching new directions and coming up with her own quirky take on things.  


Kirsten is a long term 'car boot' partner of mine and I'm always amazed when she picks something up that I bypassed and then explains to me what she's going to do with it - her imagination knows no bounds and she's always thinking outside the box!  She has a garage full or props and a head full of creative ideas! 


And yes, I'm a little bit jealous!  But I love working with Kirsten and can promise you that you will too.  She's collaborative by nature and brings out all your own creativity.  Added to which she's lovely, positive lady who adores weddings and the couples she works for and really does put 110% into every job she does - her enthusiasm knows no bounds. And if you need proof, just take a look at her testimonials - you don't have to take my word.


So, if you're the kind of bride that spends hours on Pinterest, collecting images of how they want their wedding to look, but you either don't have the manpower, the time or the creativity to make those pictures come to life, then why don't you get The Little Wedding Helper and just take that weight off your mind!
