As the majority of the items listed below are personalised, and made individually, the design and wording will be as the result of discussion between us. The prices given are for the item as described - this may have to be increased if there is substantially more work and/or more costly materials. Fabric colours are a choice of white, ivory or cream, but other colours could be substituted. Telephone or email for any enquires etc.

 

1 - Money gift envelopes

 
Our GIFT CARDS AND ENVELOPES for cheques or notes will make them look as special a gift as a prettily wrapped parcel. They are decorated with embroidered lace either on the card or the envelope (the matching envelope and card would be plain). Printing can be included with names or a personal message. One suggestion is 'A gift of love and money on the occasion of your wedding'. The envelopes could be used to put the marriage certificate in afterwards. £3 2 - Money gift card
 
4 - Basic Ring Cushion
RING CUSHIONS come in different styles. The simplest one is pretty, plump and pearl trimmed. It is decorated with a gold or silver stipple stitched heart, roses etc.  For a little extra it could be personalised with names and dates. £8 - £11. 5 - Ring Cushion simple with butterfly
 3 -Dished ring cushion

Another style has a ‘dished' centre, in which the outer edges are plump, but the centre, containing a heart pattern, is recessed for the rings to sit in. Standard embroidered wording is ‘With this ring, I thee wed', but names and dates could be substituted. £18.

  For a little extra the heart could be appliquéd with a Damascus silk fabric featuring doves and flowers in blue and gold or silver. £20

 5 - Ring Cushion simple with butterfly There is also a selection of keepsake ring cushions which are very special, in both modern and traditional styles. Photographs of these could be emailed together with the prices.
 7 - garter LACE GARTERS add a bit of hidden glamour. They are beautiful, using special lace sourced from France, Italy and Switzerland and incorporating satin ribbon which could be monogrammed. I can sometimes use antique lace, for a ‘something old, new, borrowed & blue' theme. £8

 8 - Padded Heart  

 

How about a special padded SILK HEART as a keepsake for the happy couple? So much more elegant and permanent than a silver horseshoe. These are trimmed with embroidered lace, roses, pearls, crystals, tassels and ribbons. It could have names and dates or an appropriate quotation embroidered on the back.These are often given to ‘the Mothers' at the reception instead of the usual flower arrangement. £20

 

9 - Padded Heart 10 - Padded Heart 11 - Padded Heart

 12 - Polish bride groom Most wedding accessories are traditional, but there must be a lot of brides out there who would be amused by this FUNKY BRIDE & GROOM MASCOT. It was inspired by a visit to Krakow, where there are lots of angels and folkart influences. I will let the picture tell the tale, but it does have a veil, wings, embroidered and coloured bride and groom, and then the couple's names, dates - or whatever - can be embroidered underneath the figures. £15
13 - Tissue Case These TISSUE CASES are our most popular and unusual personalised gift for those emotional moments and special guests. They are made in silk dupion and filled with paper tissues. A variety of embroidered wording and flower motifs can be considered, the simplest being ‘Tears of Happiness', ‘Mother of the Bride/Groom'. However, this can be extended to include names of bride and groom, dates of wedding, and the name of the recipient. £4
 14 - Lucky Pouch You can't leave the men out! It's not easy to find something commemorative that won't embarrass them, but how about a LUCKY POUCH? This is a credit card sized open topped pocket with wedding names, dates etc., embroidered on one side - but on the other there is a lucky horseshoe and ‘Good Luck' embroidered, possibly with the addition of a name, i.e., ‘Father of the Bride/Groom' for the recipient. Just before the wedding, a lottery ticket could be bought and popped into the pouch. They may be lucky - but at least there is a keepsake pocket for tickets in the future as a reminder of the event. £5

 17 - Elizabethan Memory Book

A WEDDING MEMORY BOOK is for your guests to sign on the day, and for you to save memorabilia - photos, pressed flowers, confetti etc., The book has a padded, silk dupion cover with an Elizabethan style embroidered design. It has pearls accenting a lattice pattern in gold or silver. Names, dates, wording of your choice can be incorporated as part of the design. It can have a clear vinyl cover to protect it throughout the day and a pretty pen attached to it. There are 2 sizes - 6" x 4.25" which is £15, and 8.5" x 6" which is £20. There is also a selection of unpersonalised memory books which are very special, in both modern and traditional styles. Photographs of these could be emailed together with the prices.
 20 - Marriage Certificate Pouch Your marriage certificate is such an important document, yet is usually just handed over on its own, or at best, in a plain envelope. But you could have it put into an embroidered MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE POUCH to carry away with pride. The embroidery design is a decorative border, inside which is stitched your names, the date and where the ceremony was held. It is then trimmed with pearls, a tassel and a cord or ribbon loop to hold it. This is an unusual, but useful memento to safeguard an important certificate. £8
 21 - Gift in a Bag At the reception it is the usual practice to give gifts to those who have been especially generous with their time and love in the near and far past. Mothers and bridemaids are the obvious ones, but there are others, too. If you would like to think of something different, what about this GIFT IN A BAG? I like to think it gives the message ‘thanks for all you have done, and been - now go and have a lovely relaxing evening to pamper yourself and reflect on your memories'. It is a quilted bag (which can be used by the bed or in the bathroom afterwards) embroidered with wording of your choice and a beautiful rose. It can then be filled with appropriate gifts, such as - scented candle, small bottle of wine, chocolates, CD or DVD, etc. I make the bag, and some gift wrapping, but the contents are up to you.  £8, unless you want to put lots of gifts in it and need a larger one! If time is short - I could fill it, too – according to your budget
 22 - Flower petal pyramid For an original and inexpensive table present, we have little organza SCENTED PYRAMIDS. They sit flat on a plate, and are filled with either rose petals or lavender. They are trimmed to match with a satin flower and a little loop for carrying. £1 (minimum order 10)
 favourbadgebag
Small, trimmed, organza, draw stringed FAVOUR BAGS, filled with either rosebuds, lavender or sugared almonds. These can have tags printed with names, dates and venue, as you wish. £1.50 (minimum order 10). However, for something different – how about considering this.  Guests at a wedding rarely know all the other guests – so your favour bags could also serve as place names at the reception.  The name can be made into a badge on a pretty background with informal wording to help introduce the guests to each other and start conversations.  They could pin the badges onto a jacket or bag.  £2 each includes bag, filling and badge. 24 - Favour Bags
 25 - Crazy Bride Dolll Something different to keep a little bridesmaid happy? CRAZY BRIDE DOLLS, made from wacky materials - lace, yarn and beads. Fun keepsakes to hold, then sit on a shelf. £5
 qvheart2 A little HEART LOVE TOKEN is made from silk which I bought in Damascus. It is the same pattern that was woven for Queen Victoria's wedding trousseau. There are two colour options - ivory, gold and blue, or white, silver and blue. It is a romantic way of showing the 'something old, something new, something borrowed and somththing blue' tradition. £8 or more if embroidered with names , dates etc.
