A little peek into a treasure trove of vintage delight.

This is my first bouquet set that started it all, I  wanted to make bouquets that would last and be completely different to what is available and best of  the only limit is my imagination. This set took 2 months from start to finish.
Love the romantic red satin lotus flowers with single rhinestone button centre and the deep burgundy roses to break up the red , I wanted to make it simple, yet dramatic.

Hand made lotus flowers with centre beading detail and a mix of foam roses for the extra texture and shape needed to mix the bouquet.

Gold and pinks are a stunning combination for any brides that want there big day to be nothing sort of a fairytale.

There are a lot of brides that are simple and elegant and want that one piece to finish of the style, here I placed a stunning large Austrian crystal brooch on to a heavy stain ribbon.

This antique gold vintage style bridal belt just come together perfectly with smokey crystal AB rondelles sew on rhinestones and antique style crystal rhinestone button centre.

Large open rose bridal fascinator, this piece I decided to cut and seal each petal individually, took time but the outcome speaks for itself.

When I make any of my flowers there are no two the same, its the wonderful thing about creating these it never gets boring.

My most requested style in bridal belts multi with multiple organza roses in different sizes.

The most loved wedding colors for bouquets and bridesmaids.

A stunning triple flower & peacock feather bridal sash.



This is my favorite bridal sash,  2 beautiful multi layered charcoal silver and white crystal organza roses with all handed beaded white re-embroidered lace sash.



These little poppy roses, as I love to call them, are  petite but divine, mixed with many layers of crystal organza  and satin, all it needed was a single delicate swarovski crystal button centre.

Round, Romantic Red Rose and lotus flower bouquet set. Not everyone is into teardrop or cascade I always try and give the bride as many possible options for her perfect day.

White Vintage multiple flower bridal sash.

Mother of the bride corsage was made with foam flowers and rich green velvet leaves, the request came in to " Bling  it Up" so i added wired swarovski crystal and pearls into loops and waved over the top, and on the bottom picture as shown I placed it a four row stretch rhinestone bracelet. Everyone was so happy with the extra Bling!




Ivory lace, organza multi layered vintage style rose heads, I make rose heads separate so you can use and design your own crafty little project without the hassle.

Red and ready to go I am starting to take some design ready for the spring racing carnival and Melbourne cup, this is just the beginning and big flowers are coming in this season, if not for racing how about a little Burlesque baby, with a black widow spotted birdcage netting and red feathers just for the extra sexy kick.












I love this vintage style half head fascinator, I fully beaded a beautiful re-embroidered white motif silver lined glass bugle beads with 2mm white crystal AB glass seed beads and glass pearls.  The beautiful rose is multi layered organza and a white crystal pearl polyester fabric, and to finish the must have bird cage veil to add extra dimension.

Hand beaded red coral bridal belt/sash.
A young bride  was inspired by yellow, orange and red gerberas and we created these beautiful poppy rose in a full set with matching fascinators, corsages, buttonholes and shoe barretts.

There is only one thing better than doing something your good at,  enjoying it even more. 

I make every thing from fabric myself, hours upon hours go into each item, I never let anything go until I am 199% happy. This all come on as an accident, I wanted to make my own, EVERYTHING! for my wedding, the dresses, invitations, cake and anything else that I could possibly do, and it just all came together like it was meant to be, the only problem is I can't stop! I just want to share it with everyone and give that little extra on one of the most important day of and girls life.
