Hello and welcome!

Thanks for popping by - I guess you've figured out that I love all things vintage and sparkly and so have combined the two, handcrafting unique headpieces from carefully selected antique and vintage jewellery, millinery flowers and feathers.

Each piece of jewellery is meticulously cleaned so it shines once more and combined with vintage and freshwater pearls, Swarovski and Czech crystal and interesting vintage finds helps me create beautiful one of a kind headpieces, combs and pins so you can be sure that no other bride will be wearing the same on one of the most important days of your life.

In addition to making one of a kind headpieces I design contemporary hair accessories using modern components too. I stock a selection of beautiful antique wax tiaras, and fabulous vintage accessories. I also have a large, ever changing collection of wonderful, authentic vintage bridal gowns; each one carefully selected for their uniqueness and beauty.
I hope you like what you see ...

Hello and thanks for popping by!

All the items you see in my shop are antique or vintage or handmade by me.. The handmade vintage headpieces are all one off designs made with love by me in my home studio so once it's gone, it's gone!.

I also make a limited number of contemporary headpieces and hair accessories.

I use vintage and sometimes antique jewellery, buttons, vintage millinery flowers and interesting finds when making each vintage headpiece so please be aware that occasionaly they may have some minor tarnish or a little gem missing, but all the jewellery will be clean and such minor imperfections will not detract from the overall beauty and uniqueness of each piece.

All the wedding dresses and accessories you see are authentic vintage or antique - not retro/reproductions so will have some history, but are nonetheless beautiful, clean and completely wearable.

Whilst I do accept returns on vintage wedding dresses and accessories, I don’t accept returns of antique and wax tiaras, earrings and bespoke/customised orders. Returned items must be sent back in their original packaging within 7 days of receiving them. You are responsible for paying return postage. For more details please refer to information on returns and cancellations.

I appreciate that buying such an important item on line can be daunting, but I'm here to help so please ask to see more photos and ask as many questions as you feel necessary to help you make your purchase.

Dress measurements are always taken with the dress laid on a flat surface and one side only, so please double the measurements to calculate the width.
If you're unsure of your measurements I'd suggest you take a dress that fits you well (not too tight) and compare it's measurements to the dress that you are interested in purchasing.
I recommend that you are 1 inch smaller than the dress you wish to purchase as some dresses do not have any zipper or button openings - it is always easier to take a dress in than to let it out.

I do my best to photograph and describe items to clearly show any flaws, and I welcome any queries you may have. I always send more photos if required so please just shout out as I want you to be totally satisfied with your purchase.

Lastly, you won't find items like mine on the high street as they are all unique and are either made by me or at least 45 years old so you can be sure that no one else will be wearing the same dress or accessory as you ❤️

**PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THE FOLLOWING AS IT FORMS PART OF THE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE**

UK CUSTOMERS ONLY

* The majority of Bridal and occasion hair accessories, tiaras and veils are posted via Royal Mail Special Delivery Tracked and signed for and are insured up to the value of £500
* Bags and vintage jewellery with a value of over £50 will also be posted by this method.
*Bags and vintage jewellery with a value of less than £50 or where they are small enough to be posted as a large letter will be posted via First Class Royal Mail with proof of postage.
* Smaller hair accessories (hair pins, vines and mini combs) will be posted by First Class Royal Mail with proof of postage.

* Wedding and occasion Dresses.
If they are small enough to be classed as a medium parcel and are valued at £500 or less they will be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery Tracked and signed and are again insured up to the value of £500.

* Dresses with a value of over £500 which are small enough to be classed as a medium parcel will also be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery Tracked and signed. Additional insurance cover up to £1000 can be purchased separately so please let me know prior to placing your order.

* Dresses that are too large to fit inside a medium parcel will be posted via Royal Mail Parcelforce Worldwide express AM. The maximum insurance for this service is £200, so please get in touch with me prior to ordering if the value of your dress is over £200 as I recommend that you purchase additional insurance in the unlikely event of loss or damage.

To keep postage costs down I aim to package the majority of wedding and occasion dresses so they will fit inside a medium parcel. However because of this they will no doubt require professional steaming or ironing upon receipt.

* Vintage costume jewellery and bags with a value of £50 and under will be sent 1st Class via Royal Mail Signed For service.

Please get in touch prior to ordering if you need any of the above in a hurry and I'll do my utmost to get your goods to you.

**PLEASE NOTE: when you buy using the Free delivery offer, ALL items are sent via Royal Mail 1st Class with signature. If you wish to pay for special delivery with insurance please let me know before you purchase. **

Non UK and INTERNATIONAL (outside UK) CUSTOMERS

* The majority of Bridal hair accessories, tiaras, veils, bags and vintage costume jewellery are all sent via Royal Mail International shipping and are fully tracked. Insurance up to £50 is included.

If your order is valued over £50 and you would like additional insurance, please contact me prior to ordering to discuss.

Smaller hair accessories (mini combs, pins, hair vines ) with a value of less than £50 are sent First Class via Royal Mail with proof of posting. This also applies to jewellery and bags with a value of less than £50. Should you require your item to be posted via Royal Mail International Shipping please let me know before placing an order and I will adjust postage accordingly.

* Wedding and occasion dresses
Depending on the size and weight dresses will either be sent via:

1. Royal Mail International shipping and are tracked and insured up to £50. If the value of your dress exceeds £50 then you may wish to consider purchasing additional insurance as I cannot be held responsible for loss or damage in transit. Please contact me prior to placing an order.

2. Royal Mail International Global Value - I use this service for large, heavy dresses. Dresses are only insured up to £100 for loss or damage and so you may wish to purchase additional insurance if your dress is valued in excess of £100.


I aim to post most dresses as a 'Medium Parcel' category using the tracked Royal Mail International Shipping so please be aware that your dress may require professional steaming or ironing upon receipt.

CUSTOMS AND IMPORT DUTIES:

Customs or import duties may be levied on international orders by the recipient country. I have no control over these charges or how long customs clearance may take. Customs policies vary widely from country to country ; you may wish to contact your local customs office for further information.

I am not liable for any import charges. I also cannot be held responsible for items delayed, lost or damaged in transit, but insurance is obtained for all bridal headpieces, antique tiaras and wedding/occasion dresses, up to the limits mentioned above.

PRESENTATION:

Bridal hair accessories, veils and vintage/antique tiaras are carefully bubble wrapped, tissue wrapped and placed inside a presentation keepsake box inside a plastic postal sac or padded envelope.

Small bridal and occasion hair pins, combs and hair accessories are tissue wrapped, boxed and posted inside a plastic postal sac. In some instances and to keep costs down, hair accessories, jewellery and bags with no fragile components or special finishes may be posted inside a mail lite padded envelope .

Dresses are carefully wrapped in lots of acid free tissue paper and posted inside a large plastic postal sac or box. Any corsages, diamanté attachments etc are covered in bubble wrap to avoid catching on the dress material.

Rings are boxed and posted inside a mail lite bubble envelope.

Vintage bags are wrapped in bubble wrap, tissue paper and posted inside a plastic mail sac. or padded envelope depending on size.

Jewellery is either bubble wrapped and tissue wrapped inside a padded envelope or inside an organza gift bag/padded mail lite envelope .

Please Note: If buying from overseas, please check your country's tax and custom fees as these are not included in my postal charges.

Please do not ask me to mark packages at a lower price as it is unlawful and will also negate any insurance.

Thank you
Jacky
