Your East Anglian Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 35)

Amber’s Rose ambersrose.co.uk You’ve agonised for months over the flowers, the colours and the design to get your perfect bouquet, so why throw it away when you can have it beautifully preserved and framed as a lasting keepsake of your special day? For a thoughtful thank you gift, you can even do the same with the bridesmaids’ posies, buttonholes or mums’ corsages. Based in North Norfolk, mother and daughter team Debbie and Amber Jones are masters of bouquet preservation. Since launching their business in 2015 they’ve been pushing the boundaries, developing new techniques and display options. They also offer natural biodegradable confetti made from peony and rose petals as well as floral jewellery and accessories. Vintage Playing Cards vintageplayingcards.co.uk Founded in 2008 Vintage Playing Cards specialises in greeting cards, frames and gifts inspired by and made from original vintage games. The business has grown from a small cottage enterprise to supplying some of the country’s leading shops such as Liberty and Selfridges. Run by Tracy Kemp, the team is based in a small studio in Suffolk, where most of their products are handmade. “The idea came about when we found a beautiful Art Deco pack of playing cards which had a few missing. Useless as a game, the cards were too beautiful to throw away so we upcycled them into greeting cards,” explains Tracy. Why not celebrate your new married status with Mr & Mrs bunting? You can choose from a range of messages or have one personalised.
