DAISY LANE FLORAL - BEAUTIFULLY ROMANTIC FLOWERS FOR YOUR DAY!

Daisy Lane Floral is owned by Emilie Carr and is an award winning independent florist based in North Somerset. Through votes from her couples, Emilie won the 'best florist' category at the Bristol and Somerset Wedding Awards. There was a lot of love for her floristry work that has such a romantic, pretty and effortless feel.

Emilie works from her beautiful studio situated at Clevedon Craft Centre which is surrounded by the stunning North Somerset country side. As well as creating her beautiful designs for happy couples here, she also holds workshops and classes complete with cake and tea in vintage china.

I love how natural Emilie's style is which is constantly inspired by the changing seasons. She loves working with old fashioned flowers using English where possible and garden herbs giving her designs a very vintage feel and look.

The attention to detail is so beautiful right down to what is tied around a buttonhole or bouquet. Emilie also has a variety of props that couples can use for their flowers such as wooden crates, milk churns, baskets and even vintage medicine bottles. 

Come and chat more at the fair and see her beautiful work. Emilie will also be adding a little something to Mabel, our vintage bike that will be outside the entrance to the Clifton Pavilion.

FLO-JO BOUTIQUE - HEN PARTY FUN WITH A CREATIVE TWIST!

Why not book the perfect Hen Party where you’ll learn how to make a pair of knickers and a garter for the bride?  If there’s material left over, you can make bunting and add all the buttons, bows and vintage embellishments you like. Designing, sewing  and making all things vintage-inspired since 2004, owners Delia and Erika of Flo-Jo Boutique on Gloucester Road host brilliantly fun knicker-making and sewing parties. They search high and low for their retro-inspired prints and find inspiration in vintage lace and silks, which they ‘upcycle’. 


At Flo-Jo you'll find collections of handmade undies, knicker-making kits and frilly pines for sale.  They also run a haberdashery with carefully sourced fabrics, but the other half of the shop is a fabulous retro style 50's kitchen-inspired workshop space, filled with sewing machines.  This is where the fun happens with regular workshops on embellishing, quilting, patchwork and dressmaking, alongside high tea, cake and a glass of champagne.  Hens have a great time bonding over their making experience and it's something that mums will enjoy too. Flo-Jo cater for all ages and sewing experience, from total novices to fashion designers. 

The knicker-making workshops are a very popular hen party choice. Over 3 hours you'll make a pair of knickers and contribute to the making of a garter for the bride-to-be using a selection of new and vintage lace and trims, retro-style prints, buttons and bows.

Take a look at their website to find out exactly what they offer - from Hen parties, through Baby Showers to complete beginner's sewing workshops - there's so much to do!

L K BESPOKE BRIDAL - STUNNINGLY UNIQUE WEDDING GOWNS

If you're looking for a distinctive, hand crafted wedding gown that is totally unique to you as well as fantastic personal service every step of the way, Lisa Keating is your lady.



A wonderful designer with over 28 years' experience of making wedding gowns and corsets, Lisa will work with you to capture your vision of the perfect wedding dress. 



Specialising in alternative, bespoke bridal wear Lisa has a BA in fashion and textiles and teaches at Heartspace in Clevedon.  Her personal passion is stunning corsets and co-ordinated skirts and she runs weekend corset making workshops (honeymoon surprise for the new hubbie, or a great hen weekend idea!). 



She is essentially a designer who makes and pattern cuts and her work with you will always be collaborative.   Her aim is to bring your dream to life and to reflect your personality through your individual design, guiding you through the maze of possibilities - helping you choose the style, colour, shape and material that is perfect for you.



Her passion for fashion and textiles means she keeps up with current trends as well as taking inspiration from historical fashion, film and theatre and she takes pride in developing each gown from the early research stages through fabric sourcing, pattern-cutting and creating each individual dress by hand to couture standards, to your final, magical fitting!

When you start your journey with Lisa you'll be working with a true artist.  She's always pushing the boundaries and can make the most beautiful fairy-tale wedding dresses, inspired by Boho chic or a vision of Marie Antoinette but also experiments with other designers, including a great leatherworker - producing a pattern-printed leather corset. Her work is her passion and she's always looking at new materials and designs.



Lisa also offers an alteration service so, if you have a vintage dress or a family heirloom she can help.  One bride had a beautiful coat made from her mother's wedding dress.


Not only will you adore being involved in the creative process, you will love working with Lisa because of her lovely, bubbly personality.  Her enthusiasm and love for her work is all-encompassing.  Visiting her studio is a dream - there's so much to look at - you'll want to touch everything, with beautiful laces, silks and samples!  You really won't want to leave!  

A fabulous bonus of working with Lisa is that the bride is given all her beautiful sketches, the pattern and her swatches as keepsakes of the creative process.  



Her clients can't sing her praises enough - read what they say and you'll be dying to start working with her!

Tricia also makes her own lace as featured on the hat below.


Clifton Hill's shop is brimming full of inspiring pieces, patterns and ideas, but make sure you visit them at our next Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair. They'll be bringing along plenty of things old, a few things new and something very special in blue!
