Looking for colourful, bright and bold wedding decor inspiration? You’ve come to the right place!

This DREAM shoot was inspired by the little ol’ Shh by Sadie Pink Parrot earrings and Bananas cuff bracelet! Essex-based wedding photographer Chloe Lee saw the bright, bold jewels and had an amazing vision for a festival-themed photoshoot.

Teaming up with other independent creatives and businesses, Chloe shot this editorial at Browning Bros in Essex.

It has made me dream of warm evenings, colourful accessories and laid-back laughter.

I recently teamed up with haberdashery + workshop provider Make at 140 to teach a hen party workshop in Plymouth!

The bridal party wanted to make freshwater pearl and crystal bridal hair combs that they would wear on the big day. How exciting!

Well, I had never made a hair comb before, let alone taught somebody to make one! But when Lizzy from Make at 140 asked if I would be interested in teaching the workshop I was sure I could teach myself in time!

I started by Googling images of wedding hair accessories so that I could check what type of hair comb the bride would like, and then used YouTube to teach myself wire beading techniques. LOL. Honestly, I don’t use YouTube enough - there are so many useful tutorials on there, I’d recommend looking up WHATEVER you’re trying to learn and see what you can find next time!

On the day of the workshop we had a beautiful large workshop space at Ocean Studios in Royal William Yard, Plymouth. Lizzy had organised tea, coffee and fresh pastries for the group - and it was my lucky day because I got to snaffle the spare pastry! :p

The hen party all made a variation of the same style of hair comb, using a combination of grey and white freshwater pearls, glass crystals and silver wire.

You can see photos from the workshop below, including their finished bespoke wedding hair accessories! I think they did an amazing job!

In January I met with fabulously colourful knitwear designer Becky Dodman to discuss a commissioned wedding necklace. Becky LOVES colour (quite possibly even more than I do!), and had a list of elements she wanted included, like the cute lil robot for her now husband, a rose quartz arrow head, and lots of bright bold colours.

Well working on such a personal project is terrifying and exciting at the same time!! I was so honoured and touched that Becky had chosen me to create her necklace, and really wanted to create a piece that was as wonderful as she’d imagined.

We had decided on six different ‘straps’ or woven segments, and Becky wanted:

a robot
the words “kiss me'“
a love heart
diamonds / zigzags
the eye symbol
the word “Si”

And so I got busy designing patterns and ideas! I’ve shared some of the progress and design work below, alongside photographs from Becky’s big day.

Becky’s photographs are by @mariellephotography_uk.
