Mass made items (can be machine made or at times handmade by a production line in vast numbers) generally are ready to buy - you buy them as they are and there is no opportunity to amend them.</span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US">When buying from a maker they will have a collection or a set of designs that they can make over. They do not make them on mass - but often put together the item for each order (made to order). This means there is no surplus stock and wastage. As each piece is made to order there is an opportunity to make it bespoke - e.g have the same design but swap out crystals for pearls or have it made in a different colour way. </span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US">Custom made is where a design is completely unique to you. It is not part of a collection - it is a brand new design to work with your style and theme. The customer is involved in a consultation and the design process. The headpiece will be made up to fit the unique design.</span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; text-align: center;"><img src="../blogimages/5210874936/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0004-uk-wedding-inspiration-wedding-advice-wedding-blog-uk.jpg" alt="Wedding hair accessory advice" width="1024" height="1023"></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;">How does the custom made ordering process work with The Lucky Sixpence?</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US">Once someone has got in touch about a design we arrange a consultation - either in person or via zoom. We can then chat through all the details of the wedding day, their outfit and how they want to feel and look. I look at images they may have of what they are wearing, how they may have their hair (these are often just ideas - you don’t have to know) and we take a look at some of my designs and discuss what elements they like. From this I create a rough design. If the client is keen to go forward with the design I ask for a small holding fee to keep their date free in my making schedule. I source potential materials, finalise the design and provide a quote. Once the design is finalised and all the elements chosen I ask for a deposit to get making. </span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US"> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/5210874936/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0012-uk-wedding-inspiration-wedding-advice-wedding-blog-uk.jpg" alt="Wedding hair accessory advice" width="1151" height="768"></span></p> <p class="Default" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -25.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;">What are the timescales for ordering a unique wedding hair accessory?</span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US">I like to say the more time the better - especially if I am having to source unique elements for the design. I’d rather take the time to find the perfect elements than have to rush and find pieces that ‘will do’. </span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US">I make in order of wedding date which means I have some brides who have been on my books 2 years before their wedding, but others I’ve turned around in a couple of months. Really it’s down to my availability. I have limited slots available and so the sooner you book in the better as I hate to say no to people!</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/5210874936/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0007-uk-wedding-inspiration-wedding-advice-wedding-blog-uk.jpg" alt="Wedding hair accessory advice" width="1024" height="1820"></span></p> <p class="Default" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -25.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;">What is the cost of a custom design?</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span></p> <p class="Default" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US">Each design is costed on the materials used and the time taken. I do not charge any more for a custom design - they are priced like the items in my collections. Diamantés cost more than crystals and pearls so if you want something created solely from diamanté’s it will be more expensive than having a mix. Lots of vintage elements can make it more expensive too.. Generally combs can start from £80, headbands from £130 and crowns £200. I often use elements that my customers have given to me - sentimental beads or brooches from family members. Potentially having your own materials can bring the cost down too as then you are mostly just paying for my time.</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/5210874936/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0011-uk-wedding-inspiration-wedding-advice-wedding-blog-uk.jpg" alt="Wedding hair accessory advice" width="1024" height="1533"></span></p> <p class="Default" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -25.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;">I’ve seen a design I really like – will you make a copy of this?</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span></p> <p class="Body" style="line-height: 120%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: 'Helvetica',serif;">Unfortunately there are some people who still ask me to recreate someone else design and the answer is a straight ‘no’.
