There’s been so much going on behind the scenes of Queens and Bowl lately including some pretty gorgeous new photography of the spring/summer collection of vintage inspired wedding jewellery and accessories, which you can check out on the website and buy now!
The images come courtesy of the fabulously talented Kirstie McNulty who has truly captured the essence of Art Deco 1920s glamour, the sophisticated chic of the 1950s and the delicate fragility of a bohemian lifestyle.
Would love to know what you think. Which is your favourite?

Audrey Hepburn, as the glamorous Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, is inspiration to so many vintage brides and there’s a real trend for 60s inspired weddings lately, including this one featured recently on Love My Dress, held in a theatre with the groom looking very dashing in his 60s suit. One that truly brings together all the elements of the era is this stunning 60s inspired engagement shoot too, simply beautiful!
To get the look, choose a bold wedding dress – sleeveless designs with high necklines or the knee-length strapless look works well too.
For wedding jewellery, go for a statement necklace in crystal or pearls and small stud earrings.
Finish an up-do with a simple, striking bridal comb and add a feather cape.
For wedding shoes, choose classic 1950s / early 60s peep-toes with a little bold detail to show off under your dress!
When you are deciding on your wedding jewellery and after you’ve found yourself the most perfect tiara for your ‘up do’ and deliciously vintage necklace to work with your gown’s neckline, what do you do with your ears? It’s easy to just leave them bling-free if you struggle to know what’s best for where your hairstyle ends and your dress begins.
So I’ve picked just some of the earrings we offer at Queens and Bowl for you to fall in love with, some small but perfectly formed, some extravagant and attention-grabbing but all beautiful and a simple way to add a bit of glamour.
Enjoy! Kate xx
