Nia from Luvshifting Silks

About

As a florist i always wanted to give my wedding couples a beautifully made memento to treasure, this used to be preserving some of the flowers and presenting a picture six months after the wedding. After Tim ( my hubby) and I started making silk fabrics with floral themes we decided it would be a wonderful idea to be able to present a scarf with the wedding flowers on. This has grown into us making the unique fabrics from the proposed wedding flowers, therefore making the design ready before the wedding, so they can be worn at the wedding and treasured forever.

Eight weeks before the wedding date we work from a photograph of the proposed wedding flowers. This is taken into the computer and we add some other details to then produce 3 ideas for the couple. Once the design has been agreed we then print onto silk and produce scarves you that can be given away as gifts, kimonos for the bride and her maids, ties and pocket squares for the groom and his men, sashes, ribbons, well pretty much any accessory!

Tell us what makes your business special.

There really isn’t anyone else doing what we do and that makes us very special and gives our clients the most amazing unique offering. We also have so many other ideas on how you could use your bespoke silk fabric and as in our fashion line LuvShifting we love exploring new projects and doing bespoke one off designs.

Why do your customers fall in love with you?

I think because Tim and I are very approachable, we love new projects and get very excited and enthusiastic especially when we can help bring someone else’s dream come true.
