Meadow x Lauper 

Lauper’s beautifully delicate embroidery works perfectly with the etherial floral construction of meadow. Creating a wonderfully laid-back chicness to your bridal look that will work perfectly for spring weddings. 

Meadow Crescent Comb x Enola

Rime’s Enola dress is a real stand-out with it’s plunging neckline and gorgeous back detailing, we love the idea of pairing this striking look with the Meadow Crescent Comb. The combination the two will give off an eye-catching and daring fashion bridal look that is sure to stand out.

 

When trying on the beautifully handcrafted pieces, we advise wearing a light coloured top, ivory, white or as close as to the colour of your dress and similar makeup that you will be wearing on the day.

This way you can get a really good idea of your look and take the opportunity to start thinking about styling options for hair.
