Fleur feather fan – £88
Britten is an independent bag and accessory company based in Bath. Owner and designer Sarah specialises in creating unique and one-of-a-kind pieces for her clients, many of which are perfect for weddings. Her new feather fan range is a fantastically unique idea for a bride who doesn’t want to carry a traditional bouquet, and as well as that the feather fans are something you can keep forever.
Elsie peacock feather fan – £84
“My new wedding range features unique alternatives to the traditional bouquet with peacock feather fans and ostrich feather fans.” Sarah writes. “I adore 1920′s deco style and wanted my accessories to reflect the era. In particular the peacock feather encapsulates everything I love about it. For my own wedding I started off thinking about designing a bouquet with flowers and peacock feathers but then got sad as I didn’t want something such a big part of the day to die so quickly. So I started designing ‘bouquet’ accessories (for me and my beautiful ladies) that would last forever. I’m delighted with the final results and happily reminded of my wedding whenever I glance at my own peacock fan sat on the dressing table.”

As you can see, Britten really is a treasure trove of vintage-inspired gorgeousness.

Vintage has become a bit of a dirty word in the wedding world. It's been overdone more than any trend' I've ever known... and in many cases pretty badly. But vintage weddings as a concept are beautiful and some of the most creative and beautiful weddings that I've featured have fallen under that 'vintage' banner. In fact vintage weddings are not limited to pearls, lace and mismatched crockery - they can be so much more than that, the only limit is your imagination.can be so much more than that, the only limit is your imagination.

One of my favourite things to do is to walk through The Laines in Brighton and gaze lovingly at all the stunning pre-loved jewellery in the shop windows. You have to wonder about the person that owned those pieces beforehand, what their life was like and when they wore it. It's all very romantic really.

Today I'd like to introduce you to the photography of Kjrsten Madsen. Over the past few months I've been rediscovering my love of film photography and so it really is an honour to share these images with you all. Our wedding photos were shot on film, and although this wasn't really a concious decision at the time, looking back there really is a huge amount of joy that I get from knowing that these images were imprinted on a physical roll of film and developed by hand in a darkroom.
