I have often spoken of my belief that on your big day, it will be your accessories that complete your look and make you feel like a bride, as much as your dress. And when you start looking for the pieces of pretty to state your chosen style you will find there is a veritable Aladdin’s cave of accessories and adornments available to you, an almost daunting number in fact; but don’t be deterred, embrace and enjoy the process of searching. I think this abundance of choice is only right, after all every bride’s look should be as unique as they are! So with that in mind, today I am sharing one of my newest treasure trove of accessories Gilded Shadows…..

Gilded Shadows Etsy store is packed full of the prettiest headbands, combs, Juliet-cap and bird-cage veils, all lovingly handmade by owner Kristen  for the modern bride with a vintage soul. Elegant and glamorous they evoke a time of pouted lips and petticoats and will not only be the perfect finishing touch to any vintage inspired brides attire, but also a gorgeous keepsake for years to come.

Kristen sources only the very best quality fabrics for her Gilded Shadows creations, including Chantilly lace and delicate tulle, adorning them with the most exquisite feather, crystal and pearl embellishments.  Kristen’s daytime profession as an architect serves her well in her crafty evening obsession, with no two pieces alike, each is thoughtfully and artistically constructed completely unique and original. Truly Gilded Shadows boasts some of the most beautiful vintage millinery……

This is just a small selection of the accessories and veils available in Gilded Shadows‘ Etsy store, so do head over to see Kristen’s full range, in all its glory.

I think I would find it hard to choose between Marlene and Fiona! How about you, have you found the perfect piece to complete your bridal look?
