Lily Rose & Wylde Handmade Vintage Bohemian style Guest Books for weddings and other special Occasions.
My unique hard cover handmade guest books/photo albums are decorated in vintage Bohemian mood for lovers of nostaligic style!
The books and boxes are made from high quality handmade papers and card and comprise 40 writing sheets. The two largest size books have 72 and 95 pages respectively - these are perfect for bigger weddings and get-togethers of 100 plus guests.
As the paper is acid-free, it's perfect for attaching photos, pressed flowers and paper keepsakes, which can be placed between the pages.
Following is a select select list of materials and embellishments used in the creation of my guest books:
Real pressed flowers gathered from the garden
Real top quality freshwater pearls
Pure silk embroidery ribbons, hand painted in enchanting hues
Hand loom pure silk dupion fabrics
Vintage glass beaded fabrics and embroideries
Pure flax linen fabrics
Genuine antique and early vintage cotton and silk laces c. Victorian - 1940s
Handmade textured paper
Reproduction Art Nouveau and Art Deco brass stampings
Early vintage (pre 1960s) silk embroidered trims
Vintage glass beaded fabrics
Some designs include 100% silk roses, which I make myself using the finest quality silk fabrics, including pure silk chiffon, crepe de chine and hand loomed slubby silk dupion. Most ready-made 'silk' roses are actually made from cheap synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon. I much prefer the soft static-free texture and appearance of real silk.
Other creations include Art Nouveau and Art Deco reproduction solid brass stampings, professionally oxidised (darkened) to impart an aged appearance. Most stampings are also available with an antiqued sterling silver plating if preferred. These pieces are normally used for making quality vintage style jewellery. The stampings are manufactured in the USA, using the original dies and other tooling dating from the Edwardian era.
We are still working on this E Crater shop, thus more guest book designs will be featured here shortly. Do also visit the Lily Rose & Wylde website to see other vintage bohemian style guest book collections.
