*Green with Envy*

With our sample sale coming up I thought I would give all of our blog followers a sneak peak of what is going to be on offer! 

First off is the *Green with Envy* Bouquet


This bouquet has over 1000 buttons, many sparkly pearl and crystal brooches and tiny flowers.
A large cameo and crystal brooch is the centre of the bouquet, along with some of my most favourite vintage buttons that I will be so sad to let go of!


The crossed pleat stem adds yet another detail to this bouquet, making it shine from every angle.


Finally it is finished with double layer deluxe satin petals that complete the bouquet. Here at Vintage Spice we want your bouquet to look as amazing from underneath as it does on top.

This bouquet is truly one of my favorites, with its subtle sparkle and gorgeous colours. If only I could get married again!

Unique Bouquet Makers.

There are many bouquet makers throughout the world but they are not created equally. When you choose someone to make your bouquets for your wedding make sure to ask questions before handing over any cash!


Firstly any bouquet that have some kind of polystyrene or floral foam base will not last the test of time, while this makes them cheaper if you are looking for an heirloom piece this is not it. Vintage Spice bouquets do not contain any such thing!


Is the company genuine? While this is a horrible thought when purchasing over the Internet this is something we must consider. What forms of payment do they accept? Ask if they take Paypal, this is a much safer way to purchase over the Internet should anything go wrong you can claim for your money back.
If you have seen the persons work in person obviously this is ideal but not always possible, ask for photos from different angles this way you can be sure the person is actually in possession of the piece and hasn't stolen the image from Google or another business's website.


Beware of "I can make something like this." Some 'businesses' use photos of others peoples work and claim to be able to make it. If this is the case they should be making it themselves! You never really know what you are buying. Making a quality bouquet is not as simple as 1 2 3 and takes many hours of perfecting techniques. Don't hand over your money to someone who 'claims' to be able to make it for you from a picture they have found on Google! 

Lastly progress photos, if someone is making your bouquet for you they should have no reservations on sending you progress photos of your bouquet throughout it's construction. Now asking for a photo a day is obviously a bit excessive but just at different stages, this ensures that when you get your bouquet it will be exactly as you want it!

Something Blue

I love blue, to me it feels like peace, tranquility and calm.

Here is some Blue wedding inspiration! 


Perhaps for the morning of the wedding or hide them under your dress at your reception? For any occasion really I am obsessed with crochet slippers! Find there Here


This would be so cute for your bridesmaids, great for a spring or summer wedding. Easy to wear and would easily suit many body shapes! Find it Here


A blue bouquet or something blue added to your bouquet, a blue button, brooch, some blue lace. Oh the possibilities! Bouquet by us at Vintage Spice Unique Bouquets and Accessories



A blue shoe under a white dress is such a great statement its fun, fresh and a little twist on tradition! Also makes for great pictures! I found this photo Here.

Pink Empress Bouquet made by Vintage Spice Unique Bouquets and Accessories made with new and vintage pieces perfect for any bride!


These super cute mini bottles with possibly a pink lemonade or a yummy pink cocktail are sure to be a hit!


I love these pink and navy invitations with a peek of chevron which is so on trend at the moment!


Isn't this the cutest dress ever!! I'm a huge fan of Rock'n'Roll, this dress would be great as a wedding dress or even for your maids and it is such a flattering cut for most shapes!


Yummy! A pink themed candy buffet would be perfection especially with this pink rock candy!


Love this pink ombre dress!!

And sparkly pink shoes, by who? Well its got to be Christian Louboutin!

Having a pink wedding doesn't have to be tacky it can be incredibly elegant and sophisticated if its done right.

What I want for 2013

So we all know that New Years resolutions are hardly ever kept so I'm calling this 'What I want for 2013' instead.
This year there are a few things that I want for myself as I have spent the last 2 years focusing on my family and almost completely forgetting about the things that I want and ways that I want to improve myself so here goes....

Believe in me.....

I like to think of myself as a glass half full kind of person but I can tend to doubt myself and my abilities at times. I have this great ability to make a decision think its great and then step back and think actually can i really do this???
So this year I shall believe in me! Not second guess myself and take opportunities that are presented to me!!


Yes its here, the same goal 90% of people probably have...

I want to be more healthy! Yes loosing weight is part of that but I'm looking at the bigger picture I want to be healthy so my family is healthy, I want to set a good example for my daughter and give her the right tools to make healthy decisions when she is older.
Part of that is educating myself about food, I once said to a friend that the only spices I grew up with as a child was salt and pepper! Which is totally true I grew up in a meat and 3 veg house so I have a lot to learn about food and nutrition!


Remembering the little moments...

We always remember the big events that make our years special, the weddings, birthdays, big trips etc. I want to remember the little ones too!
Take more photos, write little journal entries, leave notes, more blog posts!
This way at the end of this year I don't look back and say sheesh where did this year go? I will have lots of reminders about all the good little things that made this year special!


Grow the business....

More products, more customers, more blog posts, and who knows what else may come this year for Vintage Spice. I'm not a big planner so forecasting and projections have never been a strong point!
I plan on blogging more because I have found I actually love it!! Network with other bloggers and business owners and generally having fun blogging, marketing and running my business!

Get Organised....

This is a big one for me I tend to work in a scene of organised chaos which is great for my creative process but not so good for everything else! I have a small spare bedroom which I have converted into my work room. Its so tiny that organisation is very important! So far I have organised most of my buttons (there are thousands so this is an ongoing job) into colour specific containers might I add they are also labelled!
I also organised my fabrics into plastic draws, and all of my bow stock into specific containers so it is much easier to see stock levels and pack for markets.
Next to organise in my work room is my vintage linen, some of which I may look at destashing, all of my photos which I have started to put into albums but that too is a huge ongoing task! Next will be my paints and and all of my folders and such!
Along with the rest of the house of course!
When I'm done I will post some photos of what the super organised work room looks like!
  
Happy 2013 lovely people I hope it is good to you! If you have a blog please comment below so I can check it out!
