OUR FIRST EXHIBITOR … VINTAGE BUTTON BRIDAL DESIGNS

If you're looking for unique vintage inspired headdresses, everlasting bouquets, jewellery and accessories then you are going to love our first exhibitor, Vintage Button Bridal Designs.  


Clare Lloyd has been silver-smithing for over 8 years so when her sister got married and asked Clare to make her vintage-themed jewellery and bouquet Clare was hooked!  By popular demand, she started making wedding items for her friends which led to her own business making bespoke, unique pieces.


Each item is hand made by Clare using original vintage jewellery, precious metals and stones, pearls, buttons, lace and Swarovski crystals in order to create a unique piece you can treasure as a permanent reminder of your wedding day.


Clare has always made jewellery and has incorporated her passion of all things vintage, the fashion, furniture and architecture, into her designs.


Clare can work with you to design and make vintage style jewellery, hair accessories, button holes, corsages or bouquets.  She is inspired by the elegance of the 30's, 40's and 50's and loves creating new designs from once-loved pieces of  jewellery.


As she is registered with the Birmingham Assay Office, all Clare's silver jewellery is hallmarked and stamped with her makers mark (a heart surrounding her initials) and she also makes a range of simple hammered wedding bands in various metals.


Lace, silks, brooches, beads, pearls and buttons can be used to create an alternative everlasting bouquet, with the option to have matching corsages and button holes!  And a wide range of Clare's work can be seen on her gallery page.


Come and meet Clare and have a chat about your ideas for designs and see some of her inspirational work!
