SILVER SIXPENCE IN HER SHOE
QUIRKY/ NOSTALGIC/ VINTAGE-INSPIRED
NICOLA AT SILVER SIXPENCE IN HER SHOE CREATES WEDDING HEADPIECES, VEILS, FINISHING TOUCHES AND WEDDING GIFTS BASED AROUND SWEET, NOSTALGIC WEDDING TRADITIONS, SUCH AS GARTERS AND LUCKY HORSESHOES. MOST KNOWN FOR VINTAGE INSPIRED BUT MODERN BRIDAL PIECES FOR THE QUIRKIER STYLISH BRIDE, BE IT AN OVER-SIZED BOW, A STATEMENT HEADBAND OR A DELICATELY BEADED BIRDCAGE VEIL.
NICOLA DELIGHTS IN OLD TRADITIONS AND ENSURES THAT THEY ARE REFLECTED IN LITTLE THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES IN HER DESIGNS - A SINGLE BLUE PEARL EMBELLISHMENT FOR YOUR SOMETHING BLUE OR A DELICATE LACE COLLAR RESTORED TO CREATE A HEADPIECE AS YOUR SOMETHING OLD. NICOLA SAYS SHE LOVES TO CREATE THE HEIRLOOMS OF THE FUTURE, DESIGNED TO BE LOVED AT FIRST SIGHT AND CHERISHED FOREVER. IF YOU PREFER SOMETHING BESPOKE SHE IS WELL VERSED IN THIS TOO OFTEN RE-PURPOSING PAST GENERATIONS’ VEILS AND JEWELS TO HAVE A MORE MODERN EDGE FOR TODAY’S BRIDES OR DESIGNING SOMETHING COMPLETELY BESPOKE TO YOUR NEEDS. RESTORATION OF SECOND HAND WEDDING DRESSES IS SOMETHING NICOLA ALSO TAKES ON AS SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT ARE AT THE HEART OF HER THINKING.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PIECES ARE HANDMADE TO ORDER BY NICOLA IN HER MANCHESTER BASED STUDIO FOR THE MOST PERSONAL OF BRIDAL ACCESSORIES, BUT CAN BE SHIPPED OUT WORLDWIDE. SILVER SIXPENCE IN HER SHOE WAS BORN FROM A LOVE OF MAKING HER OWN WEDDING HEADPIECE AND VEIL, AN ADDICTION TO HABERDASHERY AND WANTING TO BE HER OWN BOSS WITH FLEXIBLE WORKING IN A CREATIVE ROLE AFTER 10 YEARS IN THE FASHION BUYING INDUSTRY.
