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!

EILY O'CONNELL - CREATING TREASURES OF WEARABLE ART

We're very excited to welcome Eily O'Connell to this year's wedding fair.  Eily creates treasures of wearable art that have a mysterious and other worldly presence.

If you're looking for a unique piece of jewellery to celebrate your love, Eily's work is perfect for you. Not only that, but our ecological impact is very important to Eily and she sources sustainable material wherever possible including recycled metals and fair-trade gems.  Even all her boxing and marketing materials are recycled.

All Eily's work is crafted sourcing the finest materials in her studio, where visitors are welcome by appointment, and she loves to make you commissioned pieces, whatever your budget.  All her prices reflect this very small-scale local production made from cradle to cradle by the hands of the designer maker.

Eily's starting point is foraging around the beaches, forests and other areas of natural interest to find materials that she can combine and cast into gold and silver to make beautifully detailed jewellery with gemstone and enamel accents. 

Growing up in the countryside of the fishing village of Killybegs on the North West coast of Ireland, sea themes are evident throughout her work. 

There are constant references to human manipulation of nature as Eily is concerned with our ecological impact and so tries to highlight important issues through pieces and collections. 

Eily's work ranges from very clean, simple lines thru incredibly intricate, delicate shapes to glorious statement pieces, but her passion for nature is reflected in every piece.

Eily loves every aspect of her work but she particularly loves crafting something bespoke in her unique style, just for you.  With an avid eye for the unusual and textured, Eily has created some extraordinary pieces for her bona fide clients, from designing engagement and wedding bands, reviving and re-melting heirlooms to simply casing a small silver pendant from an acorn found in a special garden!

 

No project is too big or too small and Eily loves the challenge of engaging your senses through a bespoke piece of jewellery which will be made to last with the finest materials, creating our very own heirloom piece.

Personal meetings can be made near her Bristol studio but get in touch if you live further afield as Eily travels a lot and may be able to meet up with you to discuss the evolution of your idea to concept.  Alternatively this process can easily be done via email.  Many of her special commissions have been made remotely for people around the globe whom she has never met! 

Take a look at Eily's portfolio page to give you a flavour of the wide range of her creativity and imagination.

Whether you want a totally unique modern piece or something recycled from a heritage piece of jewellery all Eily's pieces are made with great love and care for the environment.

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!

I want to say a massive thank you to all the fantastic exhibitors on Sunday's fair.  Every year they excel themselves with their creativity and imagination.  The Clifton Pavilion looked amazing - as if we'd stepped back in time into some decadent party, with stunning dresses, quirky music, fabulous millinery and jewellery, sumptuous cakes and glorious flowers.  I couldn't help but be impressed!

It really was a beautiful day - it felt like the first proper day of spring, with such fantastic sunshine and I think we all had a little spring in our step to go with it!

Once the official photos are ready I'll put them up here but in the meantime, here are some fabulous pictures taken by Su Barclay, Evoke Pictures on the day - just stunning!

JOANNA SWAN - BLOOMIN' GORGEOUS EARRINGS & MUCH MORE!

It's so lovely to have Joanna Swan at this year's fair with her beautiful hand made jewellery.

Joanna is a singer-songwriter who also happens to be one of the most creative people I know - hence one of her other roles as a fabulous jewellery maker and the creator of Blooming Gorgeous Earrings and Joanna Swan Jewellery.  

Each pair of earrings is handmade, unique and affordable.  Joanna's a colourholic and can put any conceivable shade together - from bright, kitsch, antiqued, to soft and subtle.  It's imperative to her that every piece is eye-catching and also extremely light and comfortable to wear (I can vouch for this myself!).  Her earrings make fabulous bridesmaids' presents and can be colour matched to their dresses or favourite colour.

Joanna's stunning one-off necklaces are more expensive as so much work goes into them and they're fabulous, individual creations! 

Come and meet Joanna at the fair and have a chat about what she can do for you! 

Earrings £15; Necklace £85

LILYGRACE ORIGINALS - FAIRYTALE JEWELLERY FOR YOUR MAGICAL DAY

If you want a fabulous piece of distinctive jewellery for your wedding day, then look no further than Lilygrace Originals   

Founded in 2008, Lilygrace Originals is the creation of Hazel Mathiot, a maker and designer who studied painting for her Fine Art degree.  Hazel loves making things and over  the years has experimented with all sorts of materials and creations but eventually settled on jewellery.

And we're so glad she did!  Her beautiful designs have an incredibly distinctive style, mixing different media with various influences including the jewellery of Miriam Haskell and strong female icons such as Frida Kahlo and Elsa Schiaparelli.

Her pieces include earrings, necklaces, bracelets, cuffs and rings and are total flights of fancy inspired by Hazel's love of vintage and her magpie eye, some in beautiful pastel hues and others in bright jewel colours.

If you have a vintage picture, say of your grandmother, that you'd like Hazel to incorporate into your jewellery she's very happy to do so, and much of her work is hand-painted.

These flights of fancy are all perfect little works of art, made by hand and using Hazel's creative talents.

So if you want something special to dazzle and enchant on your special day come and visit Hazel's stand - you won't be able to resist.
