Vintage wedding with an ice cream theme! Yum!

When our good friend Alison Tinlin of Plans and Presents requested some of our vintage inspired hair accessories and jewellery for a photo shoot she was styling, we were more than happy to help.

A few weeks later I am delighted to be able to showcase the images captured by Struve Photography, onto my blog. Oh my these images have drippings of raspberry sauce, rhinestone sparkles, vintage dress, art deco themed venue and all topped off with cream. I think I am in heaven!

Heading down to the beautiful location of Largs (somewhere I don’t visit often enough and yet under an hours drive from me) the world famous ice cream parlour Nardini’s was the location.

Nardini's Largs Scotland

Nardini’s was originally built in 1935 however it closed it’s door in 2004. It has since had a major refurbishment and reopened in 2008 restored to it’s Art Deco glory with a modern twist. Pretty much what the vintage wedding trend is at the moment!

We are extremely proud of our Art Deco heritage here in the West Coast of Scotland. When it first began to take root in Scotland, the art deco style of architecture was a cause for celebration. The Empire Exhibition, which was held in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park in 1938, enthralled millions of visitors with its sleek new designs, and inspired architects to follow its design principles.

 Make- up is also important for creating the vintage feel. The lovely Sophie Edwards at who is also a stockist of Wedding and Baby hair accessories created the perfect look for this shoot. The bride wears our Rhinestone Rose comb which has gained a lot of press coverage after being featured in Wedding TV’s Bridal Boudoir. Accessorised with an ivory birdcage veil which was positioned off the face, shows that you don’t have to always wear it covering your eyes.
