With wedding season still in full swing and with Christmas just around the corner, the team has never been busier! The small local business based in Leicestershire makes bespoke wedding items such as hair scrunchies, ties, pocket squares and baby bow ties! All items have been lovingly handmade, one stitch at a time, for beautiful memories to last a lifetime. Matching with little ones is an adorable way to tie the wedding party together to create memories and photos to last a lifetime. The company’s fabrics are all selected with the newlyweds, which is a lovely way to create something special and often sentimental too. The team has recently worked with a bride who used her late father’s favourite flower as the design to ensure he was beautifully the heart of their day. Or pairs may have a gorgeous theme, like a stunning wildflower wedding to bring their vision to life.
