Vintage China Cake Stands For Hire

After getting up at 6:00am on a wet Sunday morning and heading off to numerous carboot sales all of which were cancelled due to the rain, we came home more than a little bit fed up.

So thinking what could we do with the rest of our day, we pulled out some old vintage china plates and decided to have a go at making some of our own cake stands to add to collection for hire.

I have to say, I am sooo pleased with the results here is a sample of a three tier cake stand made from Crown Ducal china plates with the sweetest pink pansies on.

Fans Make The Most Wonderful Favours

When Chris and I got married back in August, last year, we wanted to get something unique as wedding favours for our guests, and opted for beautiful hand painted spanish fans for the ladies and chrome hip flasks for the men,and I have to say everybody commented on.

Hand fans are such beautiful and practical wedding favour ideal for summer weddings, beach weddings and outdoor celebrations, and I am happy to say that Saddleworth Shindigs now include them in their online shop.

They come in beautiful pastel colours, they are handpainted and wooden, which makes them last so much longer than the cheap paper and cotton ones that so many wedding companies are selling.



They would look gorgeous tied with a personalised ribbon or a personalised theme tag and make a perfect "souvenier" of your special day.

Vintage Glamour...

My love of vintage jewellery began many years ago when I was allowed to choose which brooch or demi parure set my Grandma, Emily Fox, was going to wear on a Saturday night when she went out dancing.

I inherited my love and the start of my collection of vintage jewellery from her, like a magpie I have sourced anything sparkly, many signed pieces such as Trifari, Lisner and Sarah Coventry.

It is my intention to include an online shop at Saddleworth Shindigs, so Brides, Mother's of The Brides, Bridesmaid's and Maids Of Honours, have the opportunity to share in its beauty too. And what better for their "something old" than a beautiful piece of vintage jewellery to add that final touch of glamour.

Here's a sneaky peak of some of the vintage bling

Mannequins For Table Centre Pieces

This week we had a meeting with the lovely Katie and Jim who are getting married later this year.

Katie wanted a vintage/shabby chic wedding with a difference, so we invited her down to view our wedding props. She loved these mannequin wire forms.

I have to say they look amazing and just that little bit different than the usual martini glass vases and tall vase and feather combos that so many people are using lately.

Dressed with pearls, flowers, and garlands these can look so pretty and wonderfully shabby chic, sure to get your guests talking for months to come.
