Personalised Diamante Tracksuit - as worn by Kandy Rain ( X Factor)
Well I got an email for a Vicky Lloyd back in April looking for an urgent order of 4 Personalised Diamante tracksuits.
The order was to be personalised with Kandy Rain on the back of the zipper tops and on the front of the trousers the following names in smaller letters
- Coco
- Khatereh
- Azi
- Chemmane
I knew this was for an event, but thought it was maybe a dance competition. Little did I know. Only today when doing my social networking via facebook did I discover Kandy Rain! Now I even watched the whole series of X Factor and it never clicked.
So here are the girl in their tracksuits at the X Factor Boot camp 2009
Want to steal their style see our tracksuits here http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/personalised1.htm

Birdcage Veils are all the Rage!
As you already know Vintage is going to remain about for a while longer in the wedding front, with our focus moving away from the traditional veils - to the fun and funky birdcage veils of yester years
At our last exhibition we had lots of enquires about these veils and we have introduced some new ones since then.
Why are they such a hit - well we reckon the traditional bride is long gone and with brides getting married older, as well as second and third time marriages taking place it is a much more wearable accessory.So lets move back in time and see some delicious alternatives to the traditional veil.
Black is very popular too!
More Vintage coming soon!

Real Life Brides - Vintage Theme Accessories
I always love it when a bride remembers to email me over photo's from their big day. I am so lucky as all my brides make the accessories I create for them even more gorgeous! So here is my latest installment of photos from two stunning brides who had a vintage theme to their weddings.
Shelley-
Traditional wedding with a vintage inspired theme.
"My jewellery and circlet arrived this morning, its amazing I am more than pleased with the order. It's way more than I could have wished for, its perfect exactly what I had imagined.I just want to say thank you so much, I felt like a real princess when I tried it all on, I know I'm gonna feel amazing on the day. I will definately be recomending you to all my friends, you have a real talent.......... It amazed my guests, and my husband, he said I looked like a princess. Have attached a couple of photo's so you can see what an wonderful job you did for me, how the jewellery not only complimented my dress but complimented me, which is amazing because you never actually saw what I looked like.Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Cheryl Cole Vintage Style Headband Comb - X Factor!
Headbands with the X Factor!
Just launched the LHG Designs - Celebrity Style Hair Accessories. Mum of one Louise Graham, 32, is ensuring the ladies in the UK have Cheryl Cole's X Factor style this party season.
Louise who set up http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/ almost a year ago, had been focusing on the wedding market. However, Louise has designed her own range of hair accessories that can come straight from the aisle to the dance floor!
Louise Graham, of Wedding and Baby and the designer of the LHG collection says: “Vintage style has been very popular over the last year in the wedding buisness, but thanks to Cheryl Cole wearing a vintage style headband on Saturdays X factor it shows how transferrable the style is. I have been inundated with people asking for celebrity style designs, it has blown me away. You can be sure this party season is going to be vintage headbands galore”
Not only does Louise's designs have the X Factor they also have an ethical value too. Louise having set up the business during a recession realised people are looking for value for money. With this in mind her "Casey" headband, similar to the style worn by Cheryl Cole in the X Factor has an extra twist. This headband is multipurpose, as it can be converted into 3 brooches and worn again and again. So after the party why not give the brooches as Xmas gifts! It really is that simple, anyone can convert the design at home.
Headband owner, Casey Hill , says: “I contacted Louise asking her to design me a celebrity style vintage headband. She worked on various designs for me and was very patient. The finished design just blew me away, and I am honoured that she has now made it into a collection with a design named after me. I feel like a superstar wearing the Casey headband. It's a real head turner and I love it!"
The range is being launched on the website this week and includes headbands, combs and cuff bracelets. There is also the option to hire the collection as well as buy.

SECC
Well it has been a while since I managed to get a chance to do a blog entry - to say I have been mobbed is an understatement.
In the preparation for the run up to the SECC the planning was endless - but I had a lot of fun and got to meet some lovely people, both brides and other business owners.
As always wedding and baby was set up by myself in order to give the personal touch. I truely believe that every customer should have as long as they need to decide on exactly what they are looking for and I am here to assist them with that. Listening is a huge part of what I do, and I was actually thanked by a bride at the wedding fair for this. She was overwhelmed by it all, but I knew exactly what it was she was after and she thanked me for listening to her and understanding her.
At wedding fairs like this I don't get the opportunity to speak to my customers at any length, but for those who I did manage to get a longer chat with I had a mother in tears at how beautiful the idea was! As well as quite a few brides looking round the whole show and then coming back to me to say how my designs were the best they had seen. For that positive feedback I am eternally grateful, it lets me know that my hours of work are worthwhile.
If you have been or are planning an appointments with me, I would hope that you feel that you have all the time in the world and there certainly is no pushy sales. It's just not my style.
Another huge thank you goes to Mareike Murray for photographing my new designs - her images are just wonderful and capture the vintage theme excellently. In due process I will be adding these to the site - athough already 2 of the one- off deisgns have been sold from the collection!
If your looking for a photographer for any reason give her a shout http://www.mareikemurray.com/

Real Life Bride (Grecian - Vintage theme)
We were delighted to be able to create some items for Jen's wedding at the end of July. They had a beautiful setting, getting married on the beach at Luss.
We created their Stationery, the Brides Headband, Bridemaids Vintage hair comb and the Mother of the Brides Hair comb and necklace.
These are just a few of their stunning photo's.
Here at wedding and baby we are often asked about how to hide the actual headband. Jen who is a hairdresser, shows us how her hair covered the headband!
