Modern Vintage: Silver Sixpence In Her Shoe

Struggling to find her perfect bridal accessories for her wedding day, prompted fashion and textile graduate, Nicola Wellard to reflect on her 10 years of experience and take matters into her own hands; leading to the inception of Silver Sixpence in her shoe.

Taking its name from the traditional rhyme something old, something new, something borrowed something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe. Tradition states a bride should place a lucky silver sixpence in her left shoe to bring her wealth and happiness throughout married life.

For The Vintage Inspired Bride:

Including her signature headpieces, birdcage veils and exquisite garters, this season sees the addition of quirky shoe clips and unique decorated horseshoes. The collection is designed to appeal to the modern bride who wishes to create a perhaps vintage inspired, certainly individual look. Using antique laces and adornments, each piece is handcrafted and one off. The stunning Delilah headband has been made using a tiny lace collar lovingly restored and embellished with tiny crystals.

Also offering a bespoke service, founder Nicola Wellard encourages her clients to bring family heirlooms, such as jewellery, to their consultation, allowing her to create something beautiful and entirely unique with a personal emotional attachment for the bride.
