Welcome to my new blog!

Welcome to Silver Sixpences brand new blogspot. Silver Sixpence is a Brisbane based business which was created from my passion for vintage styled weddings and events.

My love of old world style is reflected in my unique vintage inspired bridal and evening gowns, specialising in the glamour of the 1920s to the 1960s. This style has re-emerged for brides around the world due to its classic, timeless elegance. To complete the vintage look I also create bespoke veils and hairpieces to match your unique gown as well as fabulous retro bridesmaid dresses and timeless flower girl dresses.

I also create fabric flower bouquets, which are a fabulous alternative to the traditional fresh or silk flower bouquet. All bouquets consist of individual hand made roses created from high quality silk fabric and assembled into posies to compliment your bridal gown or bridesmaids dresses. Brides can choose from bouquets made from our traditional bridal colours or have a gorgeous bouquet created that matches your colours perfectly.

This blog has been created as an additional resource for my brides who are scouring the net for everything from their ultimate retro gown to a fabulous vintage car. As I am based in Brisbane and so are the majority of my brides, this blog has a special emphasis on Brisbane locations and services, however I will feature anything that’s fabulously vintage for Brides everywhere!

From time to time I will also post some of my latest ready to wear designs or custom bridal gowns so that my followers can have a sneak peek at what has been going on in my work room!

If you celebrated with a vintage inspired wedding or know of any great retro wedding ideas please email details to me so that I can share them with everyone.

Happy wedding planning! xx
