Truly
Bespoke
I can design something completely custom to your needs be it a veil, headpiece, bridesmaid accessories or a keepsake garter.
Repair & Repurpose
I often repair and repurpose beadwork on wedding dresses and can make bespoke capes, shoulder pieces and sashes or belts too.
Small Changes cost nothing
If you want something from my main range slightly tweaking that is fine too
Nicola was recommended to me when I was searching for someone to re-design my mum's 1980's wedding flower hair circlet into something modern for me to wear for my wedding. Throughout the whole process Nicola was excited and passionate about the project and put so much care and attention into using the entire of the piece to make something new for me. I couldn't be more grateful and I'm so excited to wear my headband for my wedding and surprise my family with it!

Let Me Design Your Bespoke Accessories
Bespoke wedding accessories are where my heart always lies
I am often found re-purposing family heirloom veils and jewels to have a more modern edge for today’s brides. Your bespoke pieces can be designed and developed via an in person consultation from my Manchester based design studio, on email or on video call, making overseas brides a possibility too. The process may involve sketches, mock ups and correspondence throughout the design and making process to suit your needs and expectations Bespoke usually requires 6-8 weeks minimum and begins at £180. Have a look at my gallery of bespoke brides below too for some styling inspiration, from veils to sashes to mother of the bride. Rush orders can be accommodated at times, so do get in touch if you need this. Looking forward to hearing from you and working with you Nicola x
All of the stars for Nicola - my bridal headband brought my whole look together and I couldn't
have been more happy with it.
From my first consultation, to receiving my finished piece, Nicola made the whole experience so personal and created exactly what I had in my head.
The detail that went into my bespoke piece was perfect. My headband was not only stunning, but so comfortable to wear and stayed put all day
If you're looking for a wedding accessory, made with you in mind by the loveliest lady you'll ever meet, Nicola is the one!

Nicola was more than a pleasure to work with. I wanted to make my own wedding dress, but I knew I needed the finishing touches made by an expert. From the moment I bumped into her at an accessories event, I knew this was the woman for the job. It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with her to create the beadwork details to finish my dress on the shoulders and belt, and also a matching hair piece. The beautiful intricate hand beading really was the icing on the cake!...and I have used the pieces again on my daughters' christening gowns too!
