“I discovered Tilly Thomas through the world of Instagram and instantly fell in love with the sparkles - I knew I wanted to wear Tilly Thomas as soon as I saw the head bands. I was honoured to have helped designed my piece (let’s call it Lady Liberty!) with Sally. Tilly Thomas was something I HAD to wear for the special day; the designs are so unique, just like every woman wearing Sally’s pieces.”
Read More“The second I met Sally and very quickly realised she was one of the single most talented, humble, genuinely kind human beings on this planet, I knew I wanted to be a Tilly Thomas Lux bride. After our fateful meeting at the Halfpenny launch at the Ritz, Sally and I met in a park near Embankment station to look over the beautiful mood board she’d created – a plethora of leafy motifs and delicately twinkling stones – I fell for the very first idea she showed me.”
Read More“When I first met with Sally in early 2016 we were looking at gold flower hair bands. Sally had just started work on her new Celestial collection and when she saw the photos of my feathered skirt, she popped out some examples of her new feather materials and the rest was history… As soon as Sally and I started emailing I knew instantly that she TOTALLY got my ideas and it would be fab! Also I have never met anyone before who uses as many excitable exclamation marks and random capitalised words as me (!!) and so I knew we were supposed to work together!!”
Read More“I discovered Tilly Thomas Lux through a mutual friend, Claire Foster, Director of Accessories and Footwear at WGSN. Claire wore a one of a kind, beautiful bespoke Tilly Thomas headband for her wedding in Florence, and like a magpie I was hooked! It was so beautiful and such a unique design. I love old Hollywood glamour as well as the 60s Parisian set (Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin and Catherine Deneuve) and wanted something that would give a nod to the silver screen of yesteryear while also looking fresh and modern. So when I discovered that Sally was also a huge fan of the film The Ziegfeld Girls, I knew she was the perfect person to envisage what I wanted.”
Read More“After choosing and ordering the Amy Leaf pins, I contacted Sally on a whim to see if she could recommend an independent jeweller for necklaces for my bridesmaids gifts. I had searched the high street high and low to no avail, so was over the moon when she offered to make them for me. We based the design on the pins, and it felt so special to give my best friends a one off piece to remind them of our day together.”
Read More“That was when my TTL journey started and it was the best wedding decision I made by a LONG shot, just perfection. Sally was hands on from the word go. As soon as I instructed her to go for it with my piece, she went to work on it almost immediately and her prices were extremely reasonable for the incredible quality, time and effort that she put into the piece and on top of that, for how informative she is throughout the whole creative process.”
Read More“I’ve been following the Tilly Thomas Lux Instagram and seeing the vintage pieces and inspiration for a while. As soon as I found my dress I knew a Tilly Thomas Lux piece would complement it perfectly - a contemporary twist on vintage. I knew that Sally had a similar style and taste to me and that she would be able to create the perfect finishing touch to my wedding day look.”
Read MoreIn order to truly explain how special and personal this collection is to me, I need to take you back to my childhood. Nostalgic memories of soft, rustling wings in my father’s aviary, the two proud feathers in the brim of my uncle’s hat, my (still) strong belief in fairies at the bottom of my garden; I’ve always loved the idea of wings. That beautiful, suspended moment before a bird takes flight is magical to me.
Read More“I saw some of Tilly’s pieces on Instagram and loved the Art Deco feel of them. Anaël and I met at a prohibition party so 1920s style is really special to us. He has always said he loves me in headpieces so I knew I had to have something special. I honestly travelled the world looking for the perfect piece (and working) and couldn’t find the right one. So when I saw Sally’s work and she explained she made bespoke pieces too, I took a train to her home and studio and we started creating.”
Read More“I initially contacted Sally and asked about lots of different items including hair accessories. I then had a little panic about how much I was spending on my ensemble and decided to have a rethink. But I just couldn't stop looking at the newly created website and all the wonderful Instagram pictures and just decided I was being silly and should go for it! I sent Sally some pictures of things I liked, of some of my nans’ costume jewellery and she created some beautiful options, all of which I could have picked.”
