<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lilies and
Daisies was born in 2010. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It begun when I was selecting vintage inspired home wares, and realised that I could
produce much better and more unique items at a lower price.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lilies and
Daisies has developed each year and is now able to offer personalised wedding
accessories, handmade vintage styling and rental service of wedding and party
decor, including vintage china, bunting and tableware.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Of course,
most brides and hosts of a great party would love to be involved in every
aspect of the day. With this in mind, we have launched our DIY Bride range,
with all the creativity and materials you need to add those all-important
finishing touches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Individual or family
classes are also available, allowing you the time and knowledge to learn how to
create your own handmade wedding or party.</span><br />

<br />
Jamie and I have been together 10 years, and I think he has known for 8 of those years how much I love anything vintage, pink, china and floral.....oh and maybe anything with hearts. He has gone along with the decorating of the house in shabby chic, the constant new arrival of a new floral plate or the sudden appearance of a vintage glass butter dish without much question. I don't think he had any doubt, when he asked me to marry him a year ago, that it would be vintage inspired.<br />

<br />
But what era? Anything between 1900 to the 1950's excites me, but nothing beats the timeless elegance of the 1940's. We didn't want it to be a complete theme or fancy dress wedding, but to have the simple beauty of a relaxed family wedding, enjoying the simple things and each other. Of course there had to be vintage china, bunting, pink, hearts and lots of flowers.<br />
<br />
My mum would make the dresses, as she has her own business. She said not to worry about how many bridesmaids I wanted.....she regretted that when I told her we had decided on 7!<br />
<br />
As with anything I create, the image of my dress was firmly in my mind, but I had to try and explain it to my mum for her to create. She worked so hard and I couldn't believe how perfect it was, even when I had only seen the trial run. It appeared simple, but was far from that to create, due to the delicate nature of the pure silk fabric and the tiny pin tuck she had put on the front and back. It was elegant and captured the feel of the 1940 era.<br />
<br />
The bridesmaid's dresses weren't that easy to decide on due to the fact that I had such a varying assortment of ages. It the end we choose an original 40's pattern for the 2 eldest in a pale coffee, the middle 3 wanted something with a skirt, in a ivory floral and the youngest 2 also had an original 1940's design, with a matching floral design but in a pale pink fabric.<br />

Two weeks ago I got married.<br />
It was a year in the planning and making, but was the most amazing day and can't wait to share everything with you.<br />
The wedding was unique due to almost everything being a handmade family affair.<br />
All the dresses were made by my mum. Accessories and flowers made by myself. And the most important part, the help and support, was supplied by our brilliant friends and families.<br />
I am eager to share everything, but just like the day itself and the honeymoon, I want to make it last as long as possible. For that reason, I have decided to share in a blog series, detailing each part. I also have a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lilies-and-Daisies/152619448091506">Lilies and Daisies</a> business, so will also be sharing how each detail will be able to be purchased or rented for your own vintage parties and weddings.<br />
I can't wait and hope you will be just as excited to follow and share our brilliant day.<br />

After loads of requests from customers asking for something a bit different for the "Hen" badges, there is now a rosette badge available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is going to be a work in progress, with lots of various options, but this is what I love about making the badges....everyone is customised for the individual orders and everyone is slightly different.</div>

I am so pleased with them and trying to resist wearing them right now. Anything can be printed on them. They would be ideal for any christmas parties, or how about using them as place settings for christmas dinner? They could even be added to a lovely homemade cracker as a gift or used to embellish those christmas presents.<br />

I have been finding it difficult to try and focus on what I would like for our wedding. The trouble is that I like just about everything. When I read that a local florist was holding a flower school on creating a bridal posy and buttonholes, I just had to try.<br />

The flower school was taken by <a href="http://www.love-lily.com/">Love Lily</a> of Abergavenny. Their website and facebook is an endless photo dream gallery of every possible flower combination, in which I have lost many hours browsing. The school was held in <a href="http://www.angelabergavenny.com/">The Angel Hotel</a>...it was the perfect combination. Walking in was like I had died and gone to heaven...log fire, a host of lovely scented flowers, beautiful classic room decoration and welsh cakes!!<br />
<br />
You can view photos of the flower school on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151491173636992.400532.97613891991&type=3">facebook</a>. It was so useful and I learnt so much. Their advice will be very valuable in helping myself to choose the flowers and look I would like for our wedding. I have now been able to draw up a rough list of what I need, although everyone else does seem to think I am mad doing my own flowers.<br />

Above are photos of my creation on the day of flower school, and below is my first attempt on my own. It was much more difficult without the support, and I had only supermarket flowers and some stuff from the garden, but I was pleased with the results. Much more practice needed, but I now feel it will be possible, with careful planning. Thank you Love Lily!<br />

Hello everyone. I am still around. Had some surprising news in January....I am getting married!! All my time has been taken up wedding planning, and I have to admit that I love it. The wedding is in April 2013 so have been busy creating and planning. Of course, there will be a vintage theme.<br />
<br />

<br />
I love making these. There is always someone planning a surprise and I always imagine how happy the bride to be must fell when she realises that all the effort was for her.<br />
<br />
These are also brilliant for a vintage wedding, when they can be initally used as place settings and then for the guests to wear.<br />
<br />

It was supposed to be a small break, then it turned into something longer. Working full time and being a mum takes it's toll and it is difficult to also fit in making things and writing about them. That is not to say that I haven't been keeping up with all my favourite blogs, and the time has come for me to try and fit in Lilies and Daisies again.<br />
<br />
I am only starting off with the Cath Kidston Magnets....but these were the best seller and it will help me get funds together to be more creative before christmas. I am also glad to see that nobody has been able to fill the gap Lilies and Daisies left, and there is no other seller I can find that offers such large, strong magnets with varied designs at a low price.<br />
<br />
The magnets are currently on sale on my <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260861501447">eBay</a>.Lilies and Daisieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17734582530028018766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114365544067994946.post-6230160745303293612011-06-10T22:58:00.000-07:002011-06-10T22:58:38.972-07:00Sale itemsJust to warn everyone that the sale items will end today and tomorrow on eBay.

It combines the most amazing emerald material with a classic vintage style. I know I wouldn't look as beautiful and elegant as Angelina (who would?!?) but I really want to recreate in so would be grateful if anyone knows of any similar material or pattens.<br />

I foolishly let the baby play with my camera so I now have a missing memory card so can't take any photos unless on my phone.

They feature a handmade badge, made using offical Cath Kidston paper. As I have been such a lazy blogger, I decided to do a mini giveaway. The winner will receive one of each design. <br />
<br />
It will just run for the next couple of days - just leave a comment. It can be about anything. Maybe let me know what you will be doing for Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
They can also be found on my <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260727387362&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT">eBay</a>.Lilies and Daisieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17734582530028018766noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114365544067994946.post-51887896196553103182011-01-25T02:35:00.000-08:002011-01-25T02:35:19.954-08:00Happy St Dwynwen's DayToday is the welsh version of Valentine's Day - St Dwynwen's Day.

Christmas is definetly coming and just last night, myself and my niece Anastasia were busy making and packing. 30 orders have gone into the post this morning. It is brilliant, but sometimes wish I had a bit more time to create some new things. I am sure I will have a January lull to do that!<br />
<br />
So the blog giveaway winner is late to be announced. I was so glad to see that some of my regular readers have returned!!<br />
<br />
The winner (chosen by randomnumbers.org) is: Emma.<br />

<br />
Well my time off didn't quite go as planned. Actually I have been as busy as usual. I haven't designed anything new, and there won't be anytime to get any christmas makes made. The orders for magnets, badges and mirrors has been amazing. I have also been having a few wholesale orders which keeps me very busy. I will be informing you of these as soon as I get more photos. I also plan to help my mum with a new venture in the new year. Fingers crossed it works for her.<br />
