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.

MCGILL SISTERS - BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE WEDDING FILMS

As the name suggests, this company consists of two sisters, Sinead & Siobhan, who are based in Bristol. They make beautiful and unique wedding films to capture couples and their  loved ones on their wedding day. I love this quote from the sisters about their work style;

'We are there to catch everything from the champagne in the morning to the hilarious dancing in the evening, with laughs, hugs and tears in between! We LOVE couples who are unique, adventurous, and crazy about each other. And if you're up for a bit of hiking for an amazing backdrop,or doing something fun for the perfect shot, even better! '

They film in a very natural, unobtrusive manner and using small film cameras. The McGill sisters aim to blend in with your guests, chat to your family and friends, and then you can truly let your hair down, and forget that they're  even there! No one wants a camera in their face during the day and they are experts in capturing the relaxed and spontaneous moments of the day.

Once filming is over, they take special care selecting these moments, synching them with sound and editing them together to make your unique story of the day. I love how honest they are in saying that they spend lots of hours doing this, and don't like to rush! Using ambient sounds, music and accompanying vows and speeches, it results in a beautiful and heartfelt film that will bring the memories flooding back! 

Have a look at one of their highlights videos with lots more weddings on their website. We are really excited that they will be capturing the day at the fair too for us!

THE WEDDING REPORTER - CREATING A LITERARY LEGACY OF YOUR DAY!

I have been slightly obsessed with The Wedding Reporter for several years. Brought up on romantic black and white films, I've always felt that those perfect moments in your life should somehow be recorded, so I love photography and video but The Wedding Reporter captures every important part of your day in the most magical medium of words!

Imagine the book of YOU and your big day! I'll let Franky, The Wedding Reporter herself, explain: "The Wedding Reporter is a truly bespoke service turning beautiful weddings into literary gold dust to savour as a unique keepsake.  The report can be as flexible as you like, covering just certain elements of your wedding or a blow-by-blow description of the whole day!" 

Initially observing from the sidelines, as the day progresses The Wedding Reporter gets to know your guests and family and will build up a picture of who you are as well as capturing moments from your day that you may only glimpse - creating a lasting memory for you to keep forever.

Just reading their testimonials makes me teary and I think, if you love words and are a romantic, this unique business is something you really can't miss.  I'm already talking to my husband about our 20th wedding anniversary and how important it is to have these memories in writing and just imagining our 50th anniversary and reading all about it all over again!

Come and meet Franky and find out just how wonderful memories of your day will be!

ROSE POPAY - ON THE DAY FUN AND A UNIQUE GIFT

We're so looking forward to having Rose Popay, the Wedding Painter, back with us at next year's fair.  She's a total one-off and an amazing addition to any wedding.

If you're looking for something fun for your guests on the big day as well as a gift that they can contribute to, then Rose fits the bill.

On the day, Rose will rock up with her easel and paints and start work on her canvas, with the bride and groom as the central characters, introducing main features and encouraging your guests to join in, drawing each other or anything memorable from the day!

It's such a fantastic talking point and something your guests can contribute to resulting in a lasting memory which will always remind you of your wedding day.

Rose can also add her own flair to hand drawn wedding maps which your guests will want to keep forever!

At the end of the day you will have a completed canvas showing all the magic and you can even use the image as a thank you card to guests!

With testimonials from the likes of Dawn Porter & Chris O'Dowd, Jill Mansell and Damien Hirst (whom she used to work alongside), you'll be in great company owning your very own Rose Popay.

And don't forget Rose takes other commissions too.  Last year she created a 'Popayspective' of one of my friends' homes as a gift for her husband ... and I'm thinking that might be on the cards as an anniversary present for my hubby!

When Rose was last at the fair, she painted a fabulous picture of the event, which she presented to me as a gift at the end of the day.  It now has pride of place in my home and, having sold Bristol Vintage, will always be a wonderful reminder of the fair.

Come and take a look at Rose in action on the 29th and I guarantee you'll want to commission her on the spot!
