We fell in love with Clare Lloyd's designs the first time we saw them and I still can't walk past her stand without wishing I had an excuse to own every piece!

LK BESPOKE BRIDAL - LUXURIOUS HANDMADE CORSETS AND BRIDALWEAR

One of the great things about the Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair is that it's given us a chance to meet incredibly talented people like Lisa Keating, the designer behind LK Bespoke Bridal, who genuinely creates each gown, corseted bodice and skirt by hand.

Visiting Lisa at her workshop on the borders of South Bristol and North Somerset is a real treat as you are surrounded by amazing swatches of silks, lace & tulles in an abundance of colours.  Here she will work with you to capture your vision, advise on what will suit you and what fabrics will work best for the style to create your perfect outfit.

One of the most passionate designers I know, Lisa takes pride in developing each gown from the early research stages through to fabric sourcing, pattern-cutting and then creating your individual dress by hand to couture standards.  You will love working with her and be thrilled with the finished result.



Every garment is a work of art, with her passion for her work and her desire to make it your 'dream' dress ensuring you will feel like the proverbial princess on your wedding day. But don't take my word for it, check out the testimonies from her happy brides.


Lisa's design service offers everything from hand made gowns, corsets and co-ordinating skirt, Mother of the Bride outfits, shrugs, wraps & boleros, flattering neck corsets and lace jewellery and even wedding shoe customisation and embellishment, as well as alterations.

Excitingly, Lisa is about to launch her collection of lingerie garments, Lisa Keating Undercover, and also offers a Victorian corset workshop - where you will design, cut and make a fully fitted, boned, lined and back-laced corset in the material of your choice!

LE SOULIER - BEAUTIFUL SHOES TO WEAR & KEEP FOREVER

I'm very excited that Le Soulier will be exhibiting with us in Bristol!  Her shoes are literally a work of art to wear on your wedding day and have forever as a keepsake of your day.

I came across Le Soulier whilst scouring the web and wedding magazines looking for new and unusual suppliers who I felt would appeal to the brides who attend our fair. When I felt my heart beating a little faster I knew I'd found something really special.


Sonia, an innovative shoe designer who graduated from the University of Reading with a degree in Footwear Design and Construction, honed her skills designing for many well known high street brands.  Being such a creative soul she formed her own company 'Sole Creations' working with top designers, transforming their bridal collections.


Sonia's philosophy is to make wedding shoes that stand out from the crowd by adding personality and creating a style statement.  Her shoes are works of art that are totally personal to you. 

Dealing with clients all over the world, Sonia's service couldn't be more simple.  You buy your own shoes, ensuring a perfect, comfy fit.  Sonia can create hand painted designs on almost any surface (silk, leather, synthetic) with the exception of patent or gloss and, as long as there is enough surface area for your desired design, then any style, colour or heel height will work. 


You can email or call Sonia to discuss a colour scheme and overall look to complement your dress and flowers and you can post or email swatches and samples. Nothing is impossible create, from flowers, tartans & bows through to your married name and more, - the choice is endless.


Once you've both decided on the final unique look, Sonia does her magic and transforms your plain, dull shoes into your very own personal work of art.


No two pairs are the same and if you're wondering where to start, take a look at the Le Soulier Brides page or at her gallery

I'm already planning my ideas for a pair of Sonia's shoes for my 20th wedding anniversary  and I know I'll be joining the scores of happy customers on her site.


Sonia's unique creations are beautifully hand-painted with love and care and are something you will be able to cherish for a lifetime as part of your wedding day.

Sonia herself can't be with us on the day but several of her gorgeous pairs of shoes will be to get your creative juices flowing!
