GLORIOUS BY HEIDI
AWARD-WINNING/ COUTURE/ WILD-AT-HEART
HI! I’M HEIDI! I’M A MULTI-AWARD WINNING DESIGNER AND CREATOR OF GLORIOUS HAIR ACCESSORIES FOR THOSE COUPLES WITH FESTIVALS IN THEIR HEARTS AND DANCE FLOORS IN THEIR SOULS.
BASED IN CHESHIRE, UK, I’VE BEEN USING COUTURE TECHNIQUES TO HANDCRAFT GLORIOUS BY HEIDI CROWNS, HAIR VINES, HALOS, COMBS AND HAIR PINS FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS.
MY CLIENTS CAN CHOOSE TO BUY OFF THE PEG DESIGNS VIA MY WEBSITE OR VIA ONE OF THE SIX UK BRIDAL BOUTIQUES THAT STOCK GLORIOUS BY HEIDI ACCESSORIES. I CAN ALSO BE COMMISSIONED TO CREATE UNIQUE PIECES OF BESPOKE HAIR JEWELLERY.
AS A MUM TO A YOUNG ADULT WITH A DUAL DIAGNOSIS OF DOWN’S SYNDROME AND AUTISM, I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT ENCOURAGING BETTER VISIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, PARTICULARLY IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO THINK THAT PEOPLE LIKE MY DAUGHTER RARELY SEE PEOPLE LIKE HERSELF REPRESENTED IN THE MEDIA, AND AS WE ALL KNOW, YOU CAN’T BE IT IF YOU DON’T SEE IT!
TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY AND OFFER LESS WELL REPRESENTED INDIVIDUALS A PLATFORM, I CO-PRESENT A WEDDING PODCAST CALLED ‘YOUR INDIVIDUAL WEDDING’ WITH MY COLLEAGUE ROSS WILSHER, WHERE WE FOCUS ON GIVING A VOICE TO GUESTS FROM MINORITY GROUPS. IT’S A JOYFUL, INFORMATIVE, ENLIGHTENING LISTEN THAT I’D RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE.
I’M ALSO MINDFUL OF UNDERSTANDING AND PROVIDING INCLUSIVE PRACTICE IN MY BUSINESS. REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS FOR CLIENTS WITH SENSORY TRIGGERS ARE OFFERED DURING ALL MY ACCESSORY CONSULTATIONS; I WORK HARD TO AVOID ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT MY CLIENTS’ RELATIONSHIPS AND WILL ALWAYS RESPECT PEOPLE’S PRONOUNS.
A LITTLE INSPIRATION …
