Today I am delighted to share the new "Kismet" collection from Tantrums & Tiaras, which is perfect to add that grand final touch to your special day’s ensemble. All of their gorgeous pieces are designed and entirely handmade by Designer/Director Kelly Scully using wire weaving and hand stitching.


The Kismet collection has a slightly different feel from previous collections as it does not follow a set era or style but is more of a concept that encompasses a vision of a secret garden and the magical world hidden within. Inspired by the current bridal fashion of lace, flowers and feminine shapes the new Kismet collection holds a perfect piece for any bride.

                                     
           
    
Imagine luscious foliage, spiralling vines, sumptuous florals and of course, a butterfly or two all made with a beautiful mix of diamantes and Swarovski pearls and crystals. The new collection also features the Molly range based on sparkling silver stars.

                                           

You can view the collection soon here or pop into local stockist Bridezillas Boutique in Keynsham.

Recently Hermione Harbutt launched her stunning new showroom in Clifton Arcade to show case her beautifully intricate wedding and red carpet head pieces. The cream of Bristol's thriving wedding industry were out in force to support Hermione as well as a few famous faces with DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles in attendance with his wife Jessica.


                                             


Musical entertainment was provided by the Marionettes who performed two acapella numbers. Guests mingled in the arcade as they sipped champagne or sparkling elderflower and nibbled delicious canapes. Many of the female guests had fun trying on some gorgeous sparkling head bands.




The collection features a wide range of colours and designs. As with the bridal collections, inspiration was taken from bygone eras and applied to current colour trends to create modern pieces with a vintage feel. Large deco roses silhouetted against the hair, concentric circles of delicate beading and bright turquoise framed with gold and lapis are just a few styles of pieces available.

Today we are featuring Port Out Starboard Home, a Bristol based Mother and Daughter business that came about after Georgie got married and made her own headband out of pieces found in her Granny's jewellery box.
