Wedding Post Box

noreply@blogger.com (Ra Ra Bazaar) — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 08:06:00 +0000

When Kev (who is normally a steam punk artist) was asked by his daughter and her fiancée to create a post box for her wedding, I bet she never expected this. Kev created her a stunning wooden post box complete with fancy detail, initials and a stunning coat of glossy paint. I think it is utterly amazing and will be a show stopper at the wedding.
Wishing Kevs daughter and future son in law a beautiful and happy memory filled day!

A New Tiara ~ Paradise Birds

noreply@blogger.com (Ra Ra Bazaar) — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 09:31:00 +0000

Fabric ~ Ted Baker ~ Paradise Bird

This tiara features a mix of colours and textures that compliment the fabric design.

The fronds are formed with silver plated wire, Swarovski Crystals and fresh water pearls.

The tiara can be styled in two ways, either open fronded as the pictures above show or bundle fronded as shown in the pictures below.

Open fronding with give an informal look whist the closed fronding gives a more formal look.

The tiara is formed on an Alice band base with patina.

The band is encrusted with fine Delica beads in silver mirror finish giving sparkle and shine. The encrusting also reflects the colours of the crystals and allows the light to "play"

Tiaras can be made in multi colours or single colours to match your own styling and requirements. Please feel free to contact me through Beads By Design for further details

Wedding Readings ~ I Carry Your Heart With Me

noreply@blogger.com (Ra Ra Bazaar) — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:41:00 +0000

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

Bridal Tiara Bands

noreply@blogger.com (Ra Ra Bazaar) — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:17:00 +0000

These band style tiaras are an ever popular style with endless possibilities. The ones shown are two layers thick and one then has a mounted layer creating a traingular look. The crystals are Swarovski 4mm bicones and have the AB finish which really allows them to pick up colours from your outfit.

The tiara bands can be worn as alice band style tiaras or as a bun base tiara. The beauty is that they can be worn for nights out afterwards.

The same style worn as an alice man style is great for young bridesmaids. They can be created in numerous colour(s) on either gold or silver base.

They are often purchased for first communion events and proms.

Wedding Flowers ~ Preserving them

noreply@blogger.com (Ra Ra Bazaar) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:33:00 +0000

When I got married, my wedding flowers were dried and I then made them into pot pourri. They were refreshed and refreshed until sadly they were little more than dust. They then became compost!
Now I have found a much better idea for preserving them.
Mick has done some amazing work and has been featured on here before, but this is the latest of his project, and what a special project it is too. Your wedding flowers can be permanently preseved in resin to make pendants. You can see more about Mick and how you to could have your flowers preserved HERE
