Bridal design studio Silver Sixpence In Her Shoe, based in Manchester, creates wedding headpieces, veils, finishing touches, and modern gifts based around nostalgic wedding traditions such as garters and lucky horseshoes. Most known for their vintage-inspired but modern bridal pieces, be it an oversized bow veil, a beaded headband, a birdcage veil, or a statement earring

They delight in old traditions and ensure that this is reflected in the designs. A single blue pearl nestled into your beadwork for your something blue, or a delicate vintage lace piece lovingly restored and added to a headpiece as your something old. They love to create the heirlooms of the future, designed to be loved at first sight and cherished forever. If you prefer a bespoke experience, this is also offered. This includes repurposing treasured family veils and jewels into something more modern and wearable for today's bride, whilst retaining those precious memories

A range of jewellery and everlasting buttonholes is also available to complement the rest of the collection. This ensures less waste in the materials used, too.

Every single piece is designed and handmade by Nicola, the sole owner, in her South Manchester-based studio; however, the pieces are shipped out worldwide. This ensures the most personal of bridal accessories and experiences for the customer, no matter how far away they are. The business was born in 2010 out of a love of haberdashery, making friends' and family's wedding accessories and a move from a ten-year-plus career in fast fashion buying to something more creative.
