Good morning lovely ones! What a gorgeous weekend it looks like it’s going to be too. For those of you grabbing a spot of time to browse the wedding blogs right now, I have something very pretty indeed to share.
North East UK based designer Rosie Willett got in touch recently to tell us about ‘Radiance’, her beautiful new collection of bridal headpieces and accessories, which I personally think our regular readers will adore – but especially so as Rosie is offering each of you a 15% discount! (details at the end of this feature).
“My new collection includes handmade hair vines, forehead bands, combs, ribbon bands and belts . A Swarovski crystal deco flower shape features throughout the collection, mixed with tiny Swarovski crystal and pearl clusters. This highly embellished yet delicate look is largely inspired by Elie Saab and Valentino, whose sophisticated use of sparkle is heavy, while remaining subtle, soft and dreamy.”

“Radiance is our ninth collection and the one that I am most proud of. During the six years I have been designing wedding headpieces and accessories, I have discovered that every bride is an individual and that personal style is much more important than following trends. This is the idea at the heart of the Radiance collection.
The collection includes bohemian forehead bands and delicate hair vines, alongside heavily embellished side tiaras and romantic hand stitched flowers. With such a wide range of different headpieces, I believe that every bride will find something to complement her personal style and enhance her natural beauty.”
“Every headpiece is individually handmade, with exquisite details such as clusters of tiny Swarovski crystals and pearls and hand stitched flowers made with embellished lace. A Swarovski crystal deco flower shape features throughout the collection, giving a nod to 1920s style while remaining delicate and romantic. I found inspiration in dresses designed by Elie Saab and Valentino, whose sophisticated use of sparkle is heavy, yet subtle, soft and dreamy.”
“Rosie Willett Designs is stocked in some of the best bridal boutiques in the UK and two of our stockists kindly loaned us some fabulous wedding dresses to feature in this collection. Bridal Path sent Jenny Packham’s stylish Jean dress and our local stockist, Darcy Weddings, loaned us the romantic Moonlight dress. Both dresses captured the sparkling, dreamy look I wanted to create perfectly. We also featured the Sakura and Gardenia shoes by Harriet Wilde, which were absolutely stunning.”
“Our photo shoot took place in the luxurious Versailles Bedroom at Eshott Hall in Northumberland (note from Annabel – did you also see this beautiful wedding at Eshott Hall that we blogged this week?). The ornately carved French bed and the soft and serene colour scheme provided the perfect setting. “
“My photographer, Georgia Claire Photography, is well known for her ethereal imagery and I feel that she captured the essence of the Radiance collection beautifully. Carly Musleh from BeautySauce created a radiant and youthful look for hair and make up.”
