_One of the wonderful things about Claire is that she probably doesn't realise how talented she is as a Designer/Maker of jewelley pieces. The creations she came up with for my Bienvenue 20 Collection of couture bridal gowns were simply exquisite. A deceptively simple balance of vintage and contemporary that worked beautifully. She is certainly a name to watch out for in the bridal industry!

I got to know Claire Ogden through Twitter and after looking through her beautiful headpieces, I knew she was someone I’d like to work with to develop the tiaras to go with my new ballet inspired bridal collection Bienvenue 20.

Her ability to incorporate vintage accents into her modern pieces result in beautiful and timeless headpieces. I was extremely pleased with the exquisite pieces Claire designed for me after being inspired by the design sketches I sent to her during the development process. I look forward to loads of Kosibah brides wearing Claire Ogden Design tiaras and headpieces  Yemi Osunkoya, kosibah Designer Bridal Gowns

After choosing my perfect dress, for my “Perfect Day” inspired wedding I looked around for a special tiara to wear. When I saw the “Purity Tiara” I instantly knew that I had found it, simple, elegant, beautiful, modern, yet timelessly elegant. Little did I know – but this moment browsing on Google changed my entire wedding.

I loved your work so much I asked you to design a hairclip and jewellery to match my beautiful niece’s dress. The result was so pretty matching my own jewellery but with a character of its own. She adored it and looked amazing. She felt so special at the hairdressers her eyes were shining as the hairdresser created an elegant French pleat to show off the clip.

Having an evening wedding overlooking the beautiful Bosphorous in Istanbul where I live I was unsure about decorations, but your beautiful tiara inspired me. Not flowers in the dark but crystals lit by candles. So the next idea was born, my crystal bouquet. This filled me with excitement and I knew from your other work that it would be exceptional – it proved to surpass my wildest dreams. Even now as I look at it, it takes my breath away, so delicate, so beautiful, and so perfect. Your creativity inspired me and I made trees to hold photos of my guests’ perfect days for decorations.

Living in another country and not seeing any of my jewellery apart from photos until the afternoon of the wedding could have been stressful. But it wasn’t ... I had every faith in your vision, your skill and your unique talent. In addition your warm friendly communication and genuine excitement made it an absolute pleasure to deal with you. I actually wanted to invite you to join us, but knew that you were with us on our big day.

My wedding day was truly perfect. Even breaking both shoes and taking a fall walking down steps to my first dance didn’t spoil it – no just like Cinderella I lost a shoe – I outdid her by losing two. But Claire I felt like a princess. So thank you with all my heart. You made my day so special. Unlike most bouquets mine will not wither but will have a central place in our home as an eternal reminder of a perfect day.  Sandra x x

Claire, Thank you so much for designing my bespoke hair slide for my big day in September!! You went to so much effort to fully understand what I was hoping to achieve and each of the sketch designs you put together were so lovely I had problems choosing what to go with!! But with your excellent design vision you helped me realise which one would be perfect. You carefully matched the colours to my dress sample to make sure it all coordinates on the day and I felt so special! I was so excited when you were putting it together and you took the time to let me know how it was going and sent me beautiful photographs when you had finished!! When it arrived I was desperate to have a play with it in my hair immediately and it is just SO PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL!! You amaze me! I can’t wait to take it along to my next fitting so I can see it altogether! I can’t praise you enough for your skill, design flare and attention to detail and recommend you unreservedly. Your service is second to none and your passion is clear from the genuine excitement you have about every piece you create!! Thank you so much Alice xx

The wedding day was wonderful and so many people commented on the jewellery.  My bridesmaids loved their bracelets and the tiara looked absolutely stunning just framing my veil beautifully.  All the pieces worked really well together - complimenting my dress perfectly without being over the top - which was exactly your brief. Your service has been faultless from the moment I first emailed you and you seem genuinely interested in how it all went and how pleased I was with the final product. 
I was over the moon with what you created for me - so unique and exactly what I was after (even though I may not have been sure of what it was I wanted initially).    It felt really special knowing that each of my pieces were completely bespoke, designed and created especially for me.  Thank you.  Posted by Claire Morgan 

A very talented and creative lady. Claire had created a beautiful piece for my wedding that I will cherish forever and hopefully one day pass to my daughter to wear at her wedding. It’s a timeless and truly stunning piece I am actually in love with my Bridal Comb and cannot wait to wear it! Claire’s jewellery is unique and beautiful, everything you would want on your wedding day and more!!! These pieces will definitely add the sparkle to my day!  by Rachael Hall

Claire, My hair clips are all so beautiful, well made and my bridesmaids all love them (lots of excited squeals when I showed them!)!! Your attention to detail is excellent and you did them so quickly!  It felt so special to me for you to ask questions about the three bridesmaids, what they are like, the dresses they are wearing and you have come up with three unique hair slides which will individually compliment their outfits for the day perfectly in September.  The whole experience was truly personal, girly and very lovely! I will not hesitate to come back to you with more orders in the future. Thank you again, Alice Darrington

Well what can I say? I have been in the registration service twenty years now and I could see from the first time I saw your wonderful creations that you had a special talent that came from the heart, so your recognition comes as no surprise Claire enjoy your moment of admiration, you deserve it, Jane Briscall, Head Registrar, Warrington Borough Council.
