Vintage Twee is home to an enchantingly English range of hand crafted, vintage-inspired table décor for the loveliest wedding, party or shower. My aim is to add a touch of English authenticity to your special day with my range of unique favours, table centrepieces and dining accessories.

My work is greatly inspired by my British heritage and love for afternoon tea, along with the timeless appeal of the imagery and style from a bygone era. Therefore my items are especially perfect for vintage, tea party, English Garden or even Alice in Wonderland themed weddings! I source many vintage materials to create my items such as music sheets & ephemera, pearls, lace, jewellery and old imagery from as far back as I can find, making all of my items extremely unique and one of a kind. Every item that I produce has been individually hand crafted with a great amount of care and attention to detail and, as it is all made to order, I am able to offer a personalised service so no two brides need have the same thing!

There is no minimum order so I can cater for the smallest of weddings and I also have the time and commitment to dedicate to the most elaborate of affairs. I am flexible, reliable and most importantly friendly – so no request is too small!

Whether you are having a vintage themed wedding or are just looking for something that little bit different, Vintage Twee can provide brides with something extra special with it’s authentically English appeal for an unforgettable and truly beautiful wedding.
