Toasted Glass is the product of my borderline obsession for painting on glass. I have been painting on glass for twenty years and after a long break to focus on motherhood, I am back in business and loving it. The designs range from intricate lace, butterflies and peacocks to simple winged hearts and clock faces, across a wide range of stemware, cups, decanters, bowls and vases, all painted by hand, signed and dated. Of course the real beauty of that, is you can commission your own design or choose tones to suit your colour scheme. 

Champagne flutes are perfect for wedding toasts and can be personalised with names and dates. All the designs are baked on which makes them suitable for dishwashing at a medium temperature setting and means they needn't just sit on the shelf as decoration, after your big day. Boxed pairs of personalised shot glasses make great presents for the Best Man and Bridesmaids (presuming they are over 18 of course) and your top table guests will remember the day forever with a bespoke champagne flute.

If you would like to find out a bit more about what inspires me; from a fun look at Valentine's Day to champagne cocktail recipes, then please read my blog

Bristol Vintage has built up a reputation over the last 4 years for their amazing collection of beautiful mis-matched vintage crockery and for the annual Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair.  A lot of people don’t realise that Bristol Vintage also have a great collection of props for hire, love to source specific props and can help style your day too!

Ali Cook, the owner says “I’ve been collecting vintage pieces for years just for the love of it but when we started up the crockery business, we began to introduce lots of our interesting vintage finds into the collection.  We now have 4 typewriters from different eras, our gorgeous vintage bike, ‘Mabel’ (who’s soon to be joined by her male counterpart!), a vintage sledge, picnic hampers, candelabras, old birdcages, vintage books, 3 gramophones, suitcases, picture frames, cameras, china ornaments & much more.  I really look forward to the weekends when I go vintage shopping and if I’m ever on holiday I always seek out the vintage and flea markets – I’m completely obsessed!"

One of the things I love about running this business is the amount of amazingly talented people I meet.  There’s a great collaborative spirit in Bristol and people are keen to share their creativity and ideas, so my stand will be a showcase of my crockery, props and the work of some other great people including Joanna Shears, Sue Fyfe-Williams and Kirsten Butler.

I’ve been dying to meet Joanna for ages and you can read all about her company, Death & Glory, in her own blog piece.  Kirsten is one of the most popular stylists in the South-West and we quite often work together – she’s a powerhouse of great ideas and really goes that extra mile for all her brides.  Sue runs Aunties Vintage China and we work together as Jezebel Events to organise vintage events, currently including the really exciting re-launch of Clifton Hill Costume & Textiles on 18th April!  You can read about Sue’s stunning brooch bouquets below.

If you’re looking for crockery or vintage props Bristol Vintage is the place to come – we love what we do and we love sharing it with our clients to give their day a really authentic feel!”

I started making brooch bouquets in 2011 and am happy to say that I am now working on several commissions.

Brooch bouquets are for keeps; something to hand down from generation to generation as an heirloom.

I will meet with you for an initial consultation to outline shape, colour palette, design ideas and whether you have any family pieces you’d like to incorporate. I will gather the brooches and meet with you again with a mock up of the bouquet. Once you are happy with the content I will complete the bouquet and have it ready two weeks before your wedding. I can make a brooch boutonniere for your groom and smaller bouquets for your bridesmaids.

This is something unique and you could have something old, something new, borrowed and blue all at once.

“Wedding styling is about stepping outside the box and transforming your venue through the decor, details and those personal touches that reflect you both. It’s about sprinkling inspiration and creating a wow factor for you and your guests that will be talked about and remembered long after the confetti has blown away.”

So whether you are looking for somebody to pull together the finer details, prop hire, creative consultations, or simply constructive advice on how to create a day that is completely you, then The Little Wedding Helper is a must for your celebration.

Past clients Bree and Neil Lucas were thrilled with The Little Wedding Helper’s stylish touch on their wedding day.

“It was a relief to find someone on our wavelength and on board with our theme and sense of styling. When Neil and I saw our wedding day we were blown away. The vision was perfectly replicated and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Kirsten for everything you did, how easy you were to work with & for 'getting it'!”
