One of the biggest trends I’m seeing in wedding-world is to go vintage. Not only are vintage-inspired weddings beautiful but if you search car boot sales, flea markets and the internet for actual vintage pieces then you can’t fail to have a unique wedding with a load of character.
Gorgeous vintage jewellery is the perfect accessory to your vintage wedding but often it’s not that easy to find the perfect piece. Luckily Lisa & Tania of Magpie Vintage have taken the hard work off your hands. They find original jewellery, rework it with silver to create exquisite one off designs and share all the pretty pieces between their online store and several beautiful boutiques.
As they are unique pieces the website is constantly being updated with new opulent offerings. Here’s a few of the creations on there right now:

Just so stunning! And don’t think you have to be doing the vintage thing for your wedding day in order to shop at Magpie Vintage; these jewels would look beautiful adorning any bride.
Lisa & Tania can also, amazingly, work their magic on your own treasures. If you have a sentimental piece of jewellery that you’d love to wear on your wedding day, they can work with it to create a unique and timeless heirloom. Perfect for passing on to future brides in your family.

Los Angeles company Dogeared (that, yep, ship to the UK) stock sweet and simple jewellery perfect for the bride and the wedding party. I’m a big fan of big chunky statement jewellery for a wedding day but I also think some wedding looks would be overpowered by this jewellery. Sometimes it makes sense to go with delicate pieces and that’s where a company such as Dogeared steps in.
Charmed
Their range of bridal charm pendants feature so many customisable options you can personalise it to suit you or as a thoughtful gift for your wedding party. There are all these charms…
Choose between popping your chosen charm on a chain or a thread that matches the colour of your wedding, you can even pick the length! And finally pick the card you wish the pendant to be presented on, should it be titled ‘bridesmaid’ or ‘flowergirl’ or ‘big sister’… There’s even a ‘bridezilla’ for those wanting to buy a gift for a particularly picky bride! I love that you could buy these for all your maids but the charms can be individually picked for their character, always nice having that personal touch.
Pretty pearls
Along with charms there are pretty pearls of love, or, pearls of friendship if you prefer:
Bouquet glass
And I really love these charms you can attach to your bouquet, especially the gorgeous glass heart for your something blue:
Bridal mag bag
There’s loads more to see on this website but the post would be insanely long if I featured it all. Just one last thing though… for the bride that’s deep in planning her wedding you probably need one of these cute tote bags to lug all that wedding research around in:
I think that’s a good enough excuse to get one?!

One of the best things about writing this blog is the excuse to look at gorgeous dresses without needing a wedding on the horizon. Nothing seems to make a girl look more gorgeous than a wedding dress. And today’s, from the Enzoani Blue collection, would definitely result in a beautiful bride…
Cairo
Figure hugging with lots of detail in the multi-way ruching and beautiful beading at the hip.
Caldera
Loving the layers upon layers of soft fabric!
Calistoga
Showstopping amounts of satin in this one. The shape of the neckline is stunning as is the beaded detail underneath it.
Cambridge
Made of beautiful chantilly lace with delicate beading and a scalloped hem, this dress creates a gorgeous silhouette. I love the train, it’s a unique addition and really romantic.
Capri
This is the perfect dress for those that can’t decide between figure hugging and big and floaty as it’s both! Add to that embroidered flowers with organza petals and you have a dress that is sure to stand out.
Cardiff
With a nice big bow accenting the waist and the taffeta raised at one side to reveal loads of tulle this is so, so pretty.
Caymen
Soft fabric, a classic design and beautiful blooms on the hip: a fit-for-a-princess gown.
Chambord
Lots of chiffon that drapes romantically, a flattering neckline and beautiful beading accenting the waist: you’ll be a gorgeous goddess in a dress like this.
Champagne
A super-sexy silhouette and the adorable addition of a bow trailing down the back: stunning!
Cheyenne
I love the lace flowers trailing down onto the dress and the full soft skirt. Perfect for swishing down the aisle in!
