LHG Designs launches 2011 collection of vintage inspired wedding accessories at www.weddingandbaby.co.uk

LHG Designs is our very own label of handmade wedding tiaras, vintage headbands, vintage combs, jewellery - necklace, bracelets and earrings.

In the 2011 collection our designs are not only trend focused, we also have unique fashion forward designs that are sure to create new trends.


Ruffles, flowers and lots of fabric are HOT in wedding dresses for 2011, so what does the on trend bride do with her accessories?

The LHG Designs collection at http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/ have got that sorted. Look no further than your complete guide to accessorising your dress.

Traditional tiaras are starting to take a back seat with most discerning brides opting for headband and combs, that are adorned with rhinestones, feathers and flowers.

Birdcage veils were extremely popular in 2010, however for 2011 the trend is moving away from these as dresses become embelished with fabric flowers and ruffles.

LHG Designs have been creating accessories for the last two years that are not only sought after by celebrities, but also provide value for money and longevity. Louise regularly speaks with brides and develops designs that can be used long after the wedding or special occassion.

For the bride that wants to create the veil effect without the added fabric, our Marquise Veil Comb is the Show Stopper in our 2011 collection.
Amazing diamante claw set rhinestone comb creates this striking piece. Beautiful vintage style floral focal design mounted onto a silver silver comb. Birdcage veils take on a whole new dimension with our unique rhinestone side veil design. What makes this ultra special is that it can be converted into a brooch and worn again!




Floral wedding dresses need to remain with the theme, without adding more fabric to the design. So the best option is rhinestone embelished floral combs and headbands.


If you have opted for the simple dress but want to incorporate the floral theme, why not add fabric flowers to the hair. These can be flat on the head as in our Floral lace design below.


In our 2011 range also comes a romanesque headband /circlet. Stunning for a Grecian style wedding. Silver beadwork creates leaves and branches for this earthy deisgn.


If you are looking to include vintage and floral theme then look no further than our new range a shown below - that will be hitting the website very soon

Colour Trends for Fashion and Weddings 2011

Colour trends for Fashion and Weddings 2011



As usual LHG Design at http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/ is in the know about what the colours trends are going to be for the next season.


This time last year we predicted that “Autumn/Winter 2010/11 key colours being Purple, Lime and Sea Green. Colour combinations will be Mauve, Lime and Black with the introduction of Brown and Forrest Green. Invest in purple and it will last to winter 2010.”


Were we right? – Of course!


Colours are important to the wedding party as they are often planning a wedding at least a year in advance. So they really want to stay on trend when the big day comes. With our insight for colours in the coming year, we will keep you right up to date.


So what does 2011 have in store colour wise?


Spring/Summer sees the colours dark blue, grey, and neutral cream tones. Orange will be teams up with light blue and royal blue. Mauve, pink/brown and muddy blue will also be gracing the catwalk.


Autumn/Winter sees the deep purple, dark green and navy/black along with browns will be popular. This theme includes metallics, shimmery gold, rich reds, vibrant blues and purples. There will be a wine colour, but it’s a truer wine colour with a hint of glitter. Ochre, brown and black are accented with topiary greens and lipstick red.

So for weddings in Spring /Summer 2011 opt for blue of almost any shade and team it up with complimentary colours like orange, peach or yellow.



Weddings in Autumn/Winter 2011 opt for deep purple, dark green or navy blue and team it up with gold and silver.
