We so love to be able to provide our readers with an exclusive, and today, we’re beyond thrilled to share with you the new 2015 accessories collection from the extraordinarily talented Klaire Van Elton. Klaire’s beautiful work has already made her a name to watch in the wedding world (she’s on the shortlist for ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Perfect Wedding Magazine Awards for starters) and we know that her new designs are going to make her more popular than ever. So, without further ado, let’s all fall in love with ‘Botanic Crush’.

Inspired by the delicate botanic illustrations of the 1920s and 1930s, the collection features a stunning range of headpieces and cuffs as well as earrings and the most heavenly sashes that will add a flash of sparkle and an eye-catching personal touch to any gown.
The designs will certainly appeal to lovers of vintage but the contemporary, whimsical twist that sets Klaire’s designs apart adds a new and fresh dimension to the ‘Botanic Crush’ range.
The light and trailing lace vines and pretty petite floral adornments that weave themselves through many of the designs display a delicate, ethereal charm whilst Klaire’s trademark origami work is fabulously unique and we adore the attention-grabbing lines of these headpieces. Add in soft and subtle uses of colour – champagne, soft peach and on-trend blush tones – and it’s so amazingly easy to stamp a little individuality on your bridal look.
“I designed this collection to be as versatile as possible,” says Klaire. “Every adornment can be worn and interpreted in many different ways. And, as uninspiring as it may sounds, comfort and practicality are also key. I use only the finest headbands to avoid unnecessary pressure points and by using lots of lace, filigree and origami bases, everything is light and easy to wear.”
We’re more than a little bit smitten with the ravishing encrusted browbands, the decadently embellished belts and those seriously sparkling earrings. We also love the smaller pieces too, such as the ‘Greta’ clips that would be simply perfect for bridesmaids. For brides, designs such as ‘Nelle’ and ‘Beatrix’ that sit at the back of the head are a brilliant way to accessorise your wedding hairstyle (as well as being totally on show during your ceremony!) but we also swoon for the unadulterated glamour of ‘Amabel’ and ‘Harlow’. Oh Klaire, Botanic Crush has absolutely captured our hearts…
