The Secret Garden - the new 2016 collection of bridal accessories by Debbie Carlisle.

Inspired by wild flowers and trailing florals, viewing Secret Garden is just like taking a step into the most perfect spot in all the English countryside. The collection blends influences that include ancient walled gardens and glasshouses to overgrown meadows and ethereal forests to perfection.

The sparkling gathering of silver and crystal wildflower accessories range from delicate trailing floral hair vines to more traditional bridal headbands, combs and hair pins.

The collection is perfect for the vintage-loving bohemian bride,” says Debbie. “Each piece is equally at home in relaxed rustic settings and elegant black tie affairs. Like all of my designs, these new styles mix a classic vintage sensibility with a contemporary fashion-forward edge.”

I do so love this element of Debbie’s work. Being able to mix and match pieces to style your own unique look is just fabulous and I adore the flexibility – delicate hair pins just dust your hair with a touch of whimsical sparkle or you can build your own new headpiece by wearing a number of pieces together. Each design is made to be flexible and every piece, hand wired in Debbie’s UK studio, can be gently twisted and worked around your own hair style.

The Enchanted collection meanwhile mixes delicate carved ivory mother of pearl flowers with gently shimmering crystals and freshwater pearls. Every design is available in silver or antique gold and a new addition to the collection is the delicate blush pink Isabella mother of pearl headband.

Both collections from Debbie Carlisle include headbands with ribbon ties that are simply threaded through small hidden loops at each end of the piece. You can tie the headpieces into place or choose to make a feature of the ribbons by pinning them to the side of the head to create a more bohemian, almost elfin look or remove them completely and use the headpiece as a vine that can be pinned at the back of the head.

The flexibility of the designs is shown off to perfection in Debbie’s latest shoot:

“We shot lots of photos of my pieces worn in many different ways but really only scratched the surface of what can be done – the possibilities are endless! We also used the shoot to show the different ways you can use hair pins and vines to dress up an intricate braided style but also created both simple floral looks and super sparkling jewel-encrusted styles.”

The collection also offers a really easy way for brides to quickly transform their daytime look into a more glamorous evening style. The Saffron hair pins can be added to any of the other Secret Garden pieces to add extra sparkle. Adding just two or three pins to your daytime hair accessory will quickly transform it into a new, more dramatic evening look. We did this by adding pins to the Scarlett hair vine to create a more ornate evening look.”
