Hello, and how are you this fine Monday morning? I know Monday’s are never easy and so I have just the perfect post to perk you up. For what could be a better way to start the week, than a first glimpse at the latest, and most beautiful collection of heirloom bridal bouquets and accessories from Chic Vintage Brides favourite Noaki…..except maybe a first glimpse and an exclusive 15% discount off any and all of her bouquet deposits, just for you! So, put work on hold for another hour, grab a pew (along with your favourite morning brew); and take a peek at all of the pretty…..

The moment I saw my first brooch bouquet I became an itsy bit obsessed (they appeal to both the magpie and the hoarder in me) and I think it would be fair to crown Noaki the queen of these heirloom alternatives to the traditional floral bouquet. Trading on Etsy since 2008 she creates the most beautiful bouquets that not only incorporate the colour of your wedding but also last long after the big day, to become family heirlooms to be passed down to future generations; I absolutely adore Noaki‘s work (if you have never Noaki‘s pieces before, then take a look at past collections here and here or pop across to her shop on Etsy to see her full current range) This 2014 collection features not only the striking brooch bouquets and glamorous bridal accessories in lush colors we have come to love, but also some much more organic and natural looking pieces. For this her latest offering Noaki drew inspiration from an old Midsummer Night’s Dream book she grew up with containing magical, ethereal illustrations by Arthur Rackham; and (to my delight) the Downton Abbey wedding! To celebrate the launch of her newest pieces, Noaki has been kind enough to offer an exclusive, and extremely generous, discount of 15% off any of her bouquets deposits for the next week, just use the code ‘CVBSummer14’ at the Checkout.

I love this trio of pictures – isn’t she just the sweetest little flower girl ever?? And she is none other than the lovely Noaki’s daughter!

I confess it is rare for me to look at Noaki’s store and not see something I love, but with one bouquet in particular I am completely smitten! I can just imagine it standing beautifully in a vase on my art deco dresser (also in my imagination) and see myself gazing adoringly at it every day. It is of course the exquisite Cala Lily bouquet that has stolen my heart…..

Have you ever seen anything so lovely?

I do so wish I had discovered brooch bouquets and Noaki before our wedding! Don’t forget you can get an exclusive 15% off Bouquet deposits until Monday the 19th May with the code ‘CVBSummer14’

Now hasn’t that brightened your Monday morning just a smidge?

Amy
