DAISY LANE FLORAL - BEAUTIFULLY ROMANTIC FLOWERS FOR YOUR DAY!

Daisy Lane Floral is owned by Emilie Carr and is an award winning independent florist based in North Somerset. Through votes from her couples, Emilie won the 'best florist' category at the Bristol and Somerset Wedding Awards. There was a lot of love for her floristry work that has such a romantic, pretty and effortless feel.

Emilie works from her beautiful studio situated at Clevedon Craft Centre which is surrounded by the stunning North Somerset country side. As well as creating her beautiful designs for happy couples here, she also holds workshops and classes complete with cake and tea in vintage china.

I love how natural Emilie's style is which is constantly inspired by the changing seasons. She loves working with old fashioned flowers using English where possible and garden herbs giving her designs a very vintage feel and look.

The attention to detail is so beautiful right down to what is tied around a buttonhole or bouquet. Emilie also has a variety of props that couples can use for their flowers such as wooden crates, milk churns, baskets and even vintage medicine bottles. 

Come and chat more at the fair and see her beautiful work. Emilie will also be adding a little something to Mabel, our vintage bike that will be outside the entrance to the Clifton Pavilion.

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. Ruby & the Wolf also has the most amazing Pinterest board to get lost in. Flowers? Ruby & the Wolf have got you covered.

The Wilde Bunch

Bristol Vintage is proud to present the latest confirmed exhibitor for our 2014 Wedding Fair... The Wilde Bunch.


Business is blooming for The Wilde Bunch!


Since last year's fair, owner Claire Nicholson has been busy buzzing around Bristol and out into the Wild West to adorn vintage-style weddings with her beautiful designs.


Just as in nature, there's a refreshing wildness to The Wilde Bunch style and they passionately deliver an outstanding tailor-made service, working with the season's loveliest, sweetest, most stunning floral ingredients, bucket loads of imagination and a barn full of amazing vintage props and containers, to create unique flowers beyond your dreams and all without that 'exclusive' price tag'. 


You'll be able to see some of The Wilde Bunch's fabulous creations at our 2014 Fair (Sunday, March 16th). Till then you can find them on their website and do check out their Facebook page for more inspiration.

The Wilde Bunch


If you’re after something different, something organic, something vintage for your wedding, then you want The Wilde Bunch.  Working with the seasons and inspired by wild flora and natural fauna, everything they produce is locally sourced or Fairtrade. 


Owner Claire Nicholson has worked in floral & event design for the last 25 years. She trained with the Royal Horticultural Society as well as with international florists in Holland and the UK.  Based in a design studio (a very cool barn in Abbotts Leigh bursting with vintage chic), The Wilde Bunch are totally mobile across Bristol, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset & Gloucestershire.  Not being shop-based allows them to offer you an entirely exclusive personal design service at very competitive prices.


The Wilde Bunch have transformed wedding venues from castles to barns and however grand or intimate your big day, they promise a unique tailor-made service with stunning flora and all without that 'exclusive' price tag.


This year has seen them move into styling and dressing venues too.  It’s all part of producing the perfect vintage design to suit the wedding couple. 


This year has seen them style teepees with pewter and metalware, stoneware and wood, all of which is fast replacing birdcages and teacups as people’s ideas about vintage grow. It’s all about the opulence; think green, think succulents, passionflowers and hand painted decorations. It’s also about the dramatic; think old iron candelabras and candles catching the light. The WildeBunch will take you beyond the vintage tea party to a decadent, beautifully dressed Downton Abbey dinner party look.


You’ll be able to see Claire’s fantastic creations at our Fair this year.  She’ll create the featured display you first see as you walk in and the handheld bouquets you’ll see the models carrying will all be her design.  She’ll have a table of gorgeous props and even more gorgeous greens for you but until then, check out her website or Facebook page and see some more of her wonderful designs.

Sheena Holland

Sheena Holland is the Original Feather Headband creator (in a pad format) and her visually stunning vintage designs have graced the pages of top fashion magazines like Vogue.  Her beautiful headbands are one-off pieces using only antique and vintage jewellery and she’s had many a celebrity client over the years.  When you buy from Sheena, you’re buying something very special indeed.

Originally a Londoner, Sheena studied fashion under designer Katharine Hamnett working on fabrics for catwalks.  Later inspired by designing large floral, wire and concrete sculptures, Sheena went on to create fabulous wedding headwear; unique distinctive pieces that stand out above the high street because each is handmade.  You can even have something completely bespoke, with prices starting at £145. 

From her shop at 31 Queen Street, Derby, Sheena creates bridal tiaras and jewellery made from vintage materials using re-worked leather, antique, vintage jewellery and feathers as well as her trademark headbands and all elements combine the fashion, shapes and colours from her training with Hamnetts and in floristry.  Her shop is open Tuesdays to Saturdays, but you can also find her on Facebook and Twitter as well as her wonderful online boutique.  It’s packed with treasures and includes a written blog, but best of all, she’ll be at the Fair on 26th February, so come and meet her and see all these gorgeous items up close and for yourself.

The Wilde Bunch

There is a refreshing wildness to The Wilde Bunch style.  Working with the seasons, scents and how things grow naturally and inspired by wild flora and natural fauna, I love how everything they produce is locally sourced or Fairtrade. 

Their Wedding & Event Consultation service is both friendly and free – either at your chosen venue, home or at their design studio, a very cool barn in Abbotts Leigh, which is bursting with vintage chic. They’ve transformed wedding venues from castles to barns and however grand or intimate your big day, they promise a unique tailor-made service with stunning flowers and all without that 'exclusive' price tag.  Plus they’re totally mobile across Bristol, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset & Gloucestershire and not being shop-based, this allows them to offer an entirely exclusive personal design service at very competitive prices and to meet with brides throughout the planning stages and beyond.


Friendly and wonderfully passionate about what she does, owner Claire Nicholson has worked in floral & event design for the last 25 years.  She trained with the Royal Horticultural Society as well as with international florists in Holland and the UK, all of which reflects her dedication to the indulgent but affordable, passionate but practical, unique but accessible and oh so wild, sweet scented and beautiful designs. 


The Wilde Bunch are 'by appointment only' and we’re delighted they’ll be exhibiting at our next Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair in 2012.  They’ll be creating a wonderful featured display, which you’ll see as soon as you walk in, plus designing the handheld bouquets for the vintage dress models you’ll see walking around the venue.  Until then, do check out their website and see some more of their wonderful designs.
