The Handcrafted Wedding: Tailored Touches From Folksy

words Aimee-lee Abraham

29th December 2015

Makers and dreamers are our kind of people at Oh Comely, and we believe that few days are as deserving of that extra finishing touch than your wedding day.

Here, we've hand-picked our favourite wedding pieces from the Folksy UK Catalogue. From feather crowns to ceramic bouquets, we're sure you'll find inspiration.

1. Swap a Traditional Veil for a Flower & Feather Crown

Chloe Haywood Millinery of Hatastic is the eco-chic brainchild of Chloe Haywood. Awarded 'Made in Britain' Fashion Accesory of the Year 2015, she rejuvenates the unused and unloved into beautiful creations from the bottom of her garden.

2. Modernise obligatory thank you cards with contemporary thread

Alison McIntyre hand-sews geometric patterns into a number of objects, including framed pictures, notebooks and brooches. Her thoroughly modern card designs play with colour and neon thread, adding a dose of contemporary style to the obligatory thank you card.

3. Skip breakfast at Tiffany's in favour of brunch with a bespoke maker

Rachel Lucie creates jewellrey featuring semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and Swarvoski crystals. Oh Comely brides-to-be can get 15% off jewellery using the code XMASRACHELLUCIE (Valid until 6th Jan 2016).

4. Opt for a ceramic bouquet to immortalise the moment
