Claire and Renee bonded over their love of theatre and of course bridal hair so decided to collaborate on a collection together. Due to their vastly different locations Claire and Renee spent countless hours on video calls designing a unique set of bridal accessories which they know brides and the bridal party will love. Keeping hairstylists in mind was key and the pair used their combined experience to create something stunning yet easy to incorporate into any look.

The pieces are simple to add to the hair since they have lots of secret hooks and clips to give added security while still maintaining their flexibility. Each accessory is named after women in their lives who inspire them. The collection itself was named from the feeling the pair hope brides exude on their wedding days; confidence, beauty and joy.

The Blooming Romance Collection Hair Accessories

Bridal Hair Accessories available in the UK and Overseas

The Blooming Romance Collection has 17 gorgeous pieces from hair vines, combs, pins and earrings! Every single bead has been carefully placed to work with a multitude of different hairstyles and can work with or without a veil. Claire uses the finest materials in her designs and therefore they contain an array of Preciosa gemstones, Czech glass beads and sparkling diamantés.

She hand-wires each creation using plated wire for extra luxury. The stunning ceramic flowers in the designs are handmade and fired by Claire in her studio and boast exquisite detailing and delicate craftsmanship. View the Blooming Romance Collection.
