Sorry if this is the wrong forum!!

Ok, so I've been putting of starting up my new business (mainly until after the wedding)...now I'm married and I have no excuse. I make bridal hair accessories and would like to eventually have this as my sole income.

My first port of call is.... what shall I call my business??? I have done this for a little bit on the side to earn some pocket money and called myself 'Little Daydream Designs' but i don't want to be called that anymore (want it to be a reality not a daydream!!!)

I make vintage/boho/feminine/retro inspired pieces but im really stuck on the name!!! A couple I have thought of are:

Grace Inspired
Grace & Pearl
Crystal Daisy Designs
Amy Lathwell Designs (as if you haven't guessed....that's my name!! lol)


oh I just don't know!!!!! Heeeeeeelp!!!

[Helen]

Could you post us a few pictures of things you have done to give us an idea? That may help with the naming

[Becky]

My favourite of those is Grace & Pearl - it fits the vintageness (if that's even a word!!)

It would be nice to see some pictures of your designs though!

[Amymel86]

ok these are old things that I have made....I don't have any pics of my new stuff yet!

[MrsBrown]

Omg.. you are so clever! They are gorgeous! How long do they take to make?

[Amymel86]

Thanks! It varies for each design really, the stuff I'm making at them moment is more bead-based and takes a little longer (about an hour and a half per tiara) I wore one of my designs on my wedding day.....

sorry about the coding etc.....the photo was encrypted!

[Becky]

They look fantastic, I'm really impressed!! I think Grace & Pearl fits it very well

[Helen]

Gorgeous! I also like Grace & Pearl. Are you going to have a website?

[lauriex]

wow!!! They're gorgeous pieces!! ..I agree with the rest of the ladies..Grace & Pearl is the best name. It just fits! I would like to make my hobby into my very own business soon. I make cakes I will have to post some pics!

[poppleminster]

Oh help me, they are soooooo gorgeous. If you have a website then give us a link so that I can satisfy my craving for dribbling over wedding things again! You could be Grace and Favour or Grace & Favours and make little vintagey favours to match the tiaras.

[Amymel86]

Thanks eveyone! I did like Grace and Pearl too but it's already been done!...so I have decide on 'Daydream Bridal'.

Yes, I am going to have a website, at the moment I'm doing some research into where is the best place to go to help deign my website (at a good price!!). I want it to look really professional.

[ButterflyBride2012]

Those photo's of your crations are beautiful. I wouldn't mind having some quote please. My name idea is Vintage sparkle. Don't know what you make of that? Good luck in your new business venture i hope it works out well. x

[Becky]

Looks like you may have a customer already! I like the name Vintage Sparkle

[MrsMay2011]

Wow, they're gorgeous - really really gorgeous! Not much help with a name but just felt the need to gush...
