FABULOUS VINTAGE PHOTO WALL - FOR SALE!

Over the last year my friend Siobhan (who owns Queenie the Cocktail Caravan) and I have had great fun hiring out our fabulous photo wall and chaise but sadly, as I have now sold Bristol Vintage to Zoe, and as Queenie is now spending most of her time at festivals, we are no longer able to run the photo wall.

Always You Photography

The wall comes with a chaise and has 3 'picture frames' so you can have groups of people in the picture or just the happy couple!

Always You Photography

Dimensions for the wall are: Height: 7'8.5"; Width 8'; Depth 32"

Always You Photography

It comes in 4 pieces which slot together, along with 2 side posts to hold it up and some hats, moustaches and various other props.

It takes about 15 minutes for 2 people to erect and less time to take down.  It's great fun for weddings, parties and any events and is a great talking point and extra fun for our guests.

If you've any questions please ask Ali on the day or email on: ali@bristolvintage.co.uk or call on: 07791898650.

HOTEL DU VIN WEDDING SHOOT

On a rainy October day last year a wonderful group of creative people joined us to collaborate on a photoshoot at one of our favourite Bristol Venues - Hotel du Vin, and I can happily report we had so much fun, resulting in these stunning photos from Matt & Joe of Always You Photography

A few months before, myself and Siobhan Thomas, joint owner of Queenie the Cocktail Caravan were wondering how we could promote our photo wall for weddings and parties and we came up with the idea of a photoshoot.  We started talking to some of our wonderful friends  about working together to showcase our talents and approached Helen at Hotel du Vin, Bristol and all was set!

If you regularly read this blog, you'll know I'm a massive fan of Lisa Keating Bridal, an independent designer whose work is handcrafted and made to measure to couture standards.  Lisa's beautiful work is featured here and it was lovely to have her with us on the day to dress the bride - she's great fun and passionate about everything she does and her attention to detail and styling is superb.

Hair accessory from Vintage Button Bridal Designs

Accessories were loaned by Clare Lloyd of Vintage Button Bridal Designs.  Clare is an absolute delight to work with and loves what she does.  It was such a treat for me to visit her workshop in Frome.  I literally cannot walk past Clare's work without feeling like a kid in a sweet shop and found it so hard to choose accessories for the shoot that Clare really kindly indulged me, letting me take a whole box full!

Make up by Rashida Foy

Our friend Rashida Foy is a great make-up artist - able to create beautiful subtle bridal make-up, as she did for this shoot - as well as amazing creative work on alternative shoots.  We love her flexibility and her laid back attitude

We were so lucky to have two really incredible models for the day.  Hyder Sayed came from London for the shoot and was so professional, gave loads of input and was such an all round good guy.  Tall, dark & handsome, he was the perfect foil to Bristol based Charlotte Felski, our beautiful pale-skinned natural red-head!  Both have lots of modelling experience and we felt really spoilt to have them as part of the team!

Charlotte's hair by Bonominihair

Charlotte's stunning hair was styled by Bonominihair, a brilliant salon in Clifton who have a great reputation and a very loyal clientele.  

Flowers by The Pink Peony

The flowers are the creation of Laura Connelly from The Pink Peony.  Laura's lovely to work with and has the most wonderful eye for colour and shape.  Her designs literally brought everything to life, drawing the eye and completing every picture.

Vintage wear - Bristol Vintage

We hadn't worked with Matt & Joe before, but they made the day so easy.  We had a shot list which they ran with and made their own - covering everything and more with so little fuss.  I'm thrilled with the pics of my vintage crockery & props and it was great fun working with them.

Cake - Chocolate Delores Cakes

A wedding shoot wouldn't be complete without cake and WHAT cake! Chocolate Delores is queen of the chocolate wedding cake and her creations always bring a  real magic to any shoot.  She also TOTALLY spoilt us by bringing some of her hand made chocolates for us to share and her work seriously is not only some of the most beautiful but also the most delicious!

Mens Hire, Bristol, loaned us Hyder's vintage-style groom's wear.  They did a brilliant job as we had to work from measurements alone - and he looked great!

We have to thank Hotel du Vin for letting us use their fabulous venue for the day.  Hotel du Vin has been my favourite Bristol Hotel since it first opened over 16 years ago and it was the first place I thought of.  It has a wonderful, relaxed feel and the staff are so professional yet somehow manage to be friendly and laid-back - we didn't really want to leave!

Thanks are also due to Sarah Daly - our styling assistant.  Sarah has been working in the wedding industry for the last year learning her trade as a Wedding Planner.

Also thank you to Catherine, Lisa Keating's gorgeous daughter, who also helped us on the day!

Thanks to everyone who was involved  - we LOVED the day and the results and we'd love to do it all over again!!!

BRISTOL VINTAGE - MAKING THE WORLD MORE GLAMOROUS CUP BY CUP!

When Katie and I started Bristol Vintage, over 7 years ago, we didn't really know where it would take us - we just had a passion for beautiful vintage things and a love of glamour.  So it's wonderful to now be in a position where we host such a fabulous event with some of the most glamorous exhibitors in the vintage world - and even lovelier to be a part of it ourselves!

This year we're styling the whole of the Pavilion Council room on the first floor to really show you how fabulous our crockery and props can make your wedding.  From the tiniest hire of 2 cups & saucers up to a full dinner crockery and props for your wedding, we can help, so come and have a chat and see what we offer!

We're also incredibly excited to be working with Sarah Daly, who will be taking over the events part of the business as our Events Assistant, whilst I focus on the crockery and props, which I so adore.  We've been working closely with Sarah on some of our weddings and events and she's very keen to expand the Event Planning side of the business with services from on-the-day co-ordination, to venue styling.  Get in touch to discuss how we can help - Sarah will be your go-to girl.  With a host of fabulous industry connections from our seven years' experience, Sarah can help you put together a really special day!

Bristol Vintage are very proud to announce our joint collaboration with Lighthaus Events on the hire of our vintage photo wall and chaise, adding an extra element of glamour and fun to your wedding or hen party event!  The wall will be in action at the fair and manned by the lovely Emily Fisher of Fishee Events so come and have some fun!

BRISTOL VINTAGE - MAKING THE WORLD MORE GLAMOROUS CUP BY CUP!

When Katie and I started the business nearly 8 years ago, little did we know how it would grow!  Starting off with afternoon tea crockery, we just couldn't stop collecting and are now able to supply full tea and dinner crockery for over 120 people!

We are completely addicted to vintage and select every piece ourselves.  If we don't love it, it's not in our collection. 

As we are total magpies, we now also have a large collection of props, including picnic hampers, suitcases, our vintage bicycles, Mabel, Albert & Rose, vintage sledges, typewriters, rugs, stepladders ... in fact we can sometimes source specific items for you!

We love helping you set up and style your wedding or just hire out the props and extras so you can do it yourself.  We can even provide a full waitress service and work with caterers to supply full afternoon tea or just scones and cakes.

If you're having a retro party, we have a large selection of Babycham glasses as well as lots of quirky ornaments, cameras, books and smaller items.

We have jugs, teapots and fishboxes which can all be filled with beautiful flowers ...

 ... and we're particularly proud of our collection of vintage wind-up picnic gramophones. We're even unveiling a new gramophone at the fair!

Our latest addition is a 'photo wall' which we'll be showing off for the first time at the fair as well.  So do come and say hello - the fair is our way of sharing all the vintage love that's out there so we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!  See you on Sunday! xx
