SCOTTISH PHOTOSHOOT IN EDINBURGH

Although we havn't finished up with the look that we had hoped for, House of Elliot can still pride itself on offering something a little different!
The photoshoot was taken outside Melville Castle Midlothian Scotland by Claire Watson photographyhttp://www.clairewatson.co.uk/
and Lorna Tate dress designer http://www.weddingdressmakerscotland.co.uk/ using dupion silk and Royal Stewart Tartan to compliment our boots.

These unique knee length black boots are made from soft ivory lace and tie with double-sided satin black ribbon. You will not find these boots anywhere in the UK! The rounded toe adds a romantic, vintage Victorian feel. Our tartan Spirit Couture knee length boots are perfect for a Scottish themed wedding or a St Andrews night dinner. We use the highest quality woven edge tartan in a completely original way that takes tartan to a new level of sophistication. We can theme your wedding with a choice of various colours and clans; Dress Stewart, Royal Stewart, Buchanan, Menzies, Campbell (to name but a few)

House of Elliot got asked to do a photo shoot in Diss, Norfolk by Gary Norman Photography.www.garynormanphotography.com. Our lace over the knee wedding boot www.houseofelliotcollection.com was photographed in a rather unusual way and after much deliberation - we decided it wasnt the look for us, another shoot takes place July this month

which of course we are thrilled about. Sandy Keller is such a lovely CEO to work with and her staff are super friendly.

Negotiations started end of April early May and a substantial order was placed in preparation for their Wedding Fairs that are coming up across the various states. We wish them well with those events, we are confident that Advantage Bridal www.advantagebridal.com will do very well because of the enormous response that we ourselves have had here in the UK from America.

Advantage Bridal's on line website really is worth a look!  www.advantagebridal.com and they offer a vast selection of wedding and bridal accessories, apparel and favors. Offering the largest selection of personalized embellished bridal apparel with more options for style and color than anyone else, brides seeking a high degree of customization seek them out. They also offer all of the most popular lines of wedding accessories;  toasting flutes, cake knives, guest books and ring pillows, most of which can also be personalized or customized for the bride. A unique option is allowing the bride to use her own fabric and they can make her bridal accessories to her specifications.

Shortage of Lace Wedding shoes!

Hello my lovelies

A very Happy Easter and we thank Jesus for all that he has done for us on that cross!

Had an interesting email from a Canadian bride .........

"When I first started searching for wedding shoes I couldn't believe how hard it was to find lace shoes, until clicking to your site of course.  I'm from a small city in Canada and it's just a dream to actually go to England but somehow just owning a pair of shoes from there just makes the feeling better.  I'm getting married August 17th of 2013 and these shoes will just make it all the more special!"

Isnt that an encouraging email?

This brides second choice was Alexandra McLean costing a mere $900.00 so you can share a sigh of relief when she discovered House of Elliot's hand made lace wedding shoes were fetching a mere £150.00
