A Vintage Summer Wedding Shoot

Hello friends,

Today I wanted to tell you about a lovely and talented lady that I met earlier this year. I first met Beki Young from Beki Young Photography at a vintage wedding fayre although I had seen her work before.  Beki learned her trade for years working with another local photographer.  She then decided to go on her own and has built up a well respected and successful photography business.  

The images that she shoots are so beautiful - the colours always look so jewel like and the images have a dreaminess to them.  If I were getting married again I would definitely be booking Beki to shoot it.

Beki recently shot a styled shoot at Boundary Oak School which will be becoming a new wedding venue in the south very soon.  The theme was a summer vintage wedding - think tea at the cricket pavilion on a beautiful summers afternoon............

Below are some of the gorgeous images from the shoot. (You may even spot one of my headdresses in there somewhere.......)

Thank you to Beki for letting me share these images which I think you will agree are just beautiful.

Grand Opening of Everything But The Dress

Hello,

Well I have to say I'm super excited as I have a busy but fun weekend scheduled for the next few days. To start off with, and to start with a bang, I am going to the School of Rock, blogging workshop with famous bridal blogger, Kat Williams of Rock N Roll Bride.  I've been looking forward to this for ages and I can't wait to get some insider knowledge of how to be a better blogger!

Secondly, I am attending the opening of Everything But The Dress in Portsmouth.  This is a fabulous boutique in the heart of Portsmouth and will be offering brides a gorgeous selection of bouquets, stationary, favours, accessories and headdresses (some of them by yours truly) as well as jewellery and other services.  This is a totally new concept for the area and I've already had a sneak peak in the shop - it's going to be a treasure trove for brides to be. If you are around on Saturday 1st September, they are having their grand opening which I'm sure will be so much fun, so pop in and see whats on offer.

Finally, I am having a totally adult weekend - I am officially a child free zone so I will rounding off this rare event with a friends 40th birthday near London.  What a treat.  See you on the other side.....

Some of My Gorgeous Brides

Hi there,

My goodness, it feels like I haven't written a blog post in ages - and on looking at the blog - I haven't!  Life has been just so, so busy over the summer.  I've got lots of exciting stuff happening over the next few weeks (well I think it is anyway!!) which I will be sharing as and when.  But for now, thought I would share some images of some of the lovely brides who have chosen to wear Glass Oyster designs. x

The gorgeous Jo wearing my Maria headdress - this time on a band instead of a comb.  It works beautifully with her vintage dress - and she wore my headdress the next day too! Love these pictures from Faye Cornhill Photography

Kim looked so stunning in her bespoke gown made by her sister who is a designer for a very well know high street brand.  She wanted a statement bespoke headdress to compliment her gown using elements of diamante and antiqued silver.

My lovely friend Krissy - who got married on a very wet day in June!  Below is a close up of her headdress.

Suzy looking so beautiful in her Grecian style flowing dress.  The Suzanne hair vine in ivory and golds worked so well with her style.

Rebel Heart Photography - A Vintage Tea Party Shoot

Hello folks,

Here at Glass Oyster its been a busy April with shows, designing bespoke pieces for a couple of lovely brides (one of them being my buddy who is getting married in June - woo hoo) and photo shoots.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of having some of my headdresses used in a gorgeous photo shoot by the talented team at Rebel Heart Photography - Nicola Dorman and Mike Chivers. The theme of the shoot was a vintage tea party and the location was the stunning Wolferton Royal Station; a gorgeous victorian railway station, used in previous generations by the Royal family due to it's proximity to Sandringham.  The station has been lovingly restored by the current owner Richard Brown and really is worth a visit.  The clothes were stunning vintage dresses from Vintage Deli, there was some gorgeous table wear from Ornate Occasions and beautiful button bouquets by Victoria at Faerie Wishes.

I love Rebel Heart's style of photography and their attention to the details.  But don't just take my word for it.  Have a look for yourself at some of the gorgeous images below. 

Mike and Nicola at Rebel Heart are great supporters of the individual designer/maker/crafts person and of also working locally with local talent.  Please take a look at their website Rebel Heart Photography or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
