We're really excited to introduce our latest new exhibitor to the fair.  If your idea of heaven is a romantic, elegant accessory, then you'll want to visit  I Do Vintage Bridal's stand.


Adah Wellman is the creative brains behind this lovely company, making bridal capes and specialising in feature capelets, perfect for the bride and her bridesmaids.

Each capelet is handmade to order to personal specification and can incorporate vintage pieces or heirlooms to create a truly unique capelet.  They can be finished with new or vintage trims, even incorporating heirlooms, so you have your 'something old' as well as a truly unique piece.


Some brides also have capelets for their bridesmaids in a feather that compliments the theme or colour of the wedding. These make beautiful gifts for as they will love wearing them again.

EXQUISITELY HAND MADE INTRICATE AND ELABORATE BRIDAL ACCESSORIES

When her little sister got married, Clare Lloyd drew on her experience as a jewellery designer to create beautiful accessories and an everlasting button bouquet to match her sister's vintage wedding style.  From this grew Vintage Button Bridal Designs and Clare's business has grown from strength to strength in the last few years. 

Clare creates exquisite and intricate bridal accessories, from delicate hand embroidered and beaded head dresses to elaborate statement necklaces.  Every piece is designed and made with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship using the finest materials to create beautiful heirlooms to be passed down through generations.

I was recently involved in a photo shoot with Clare and the hardest part of the shoot for me was narrowing down my choice of pieces to use.  Every piece is uniquely beautiful and I wanted to take them all!  Take a look at her Bridal Boutique page to give you some idea of how hard it was!

I am a big fan of Clare's beautiful pieces and I'm sure you will be too.
