About Made by Lawrie – couture wedding accessories

Made by Lawrie (MBL) is the registered business name of Margaret Lawrie Hunter. I delight in designing and making couture wedding accessories. Each item is made with care by me, not mass-produced in a factory. Your wedding is a very special day – you deserve to treat yourself with some quality wedding accessories! I hope you will appreciate the time and skill that goes into making my special wedding accessories and handbags. Because I make all accessories to order, you can have them tailored to suit your wedding colours or theme. I'll only charge you more if it takes a lot longer or I have to buy special materials that cost more than those for my standard accessories. Look at the commissions page for some examples, but feel free to ask for more information.

If you have any questions about my wedding accessories, or want to enquire about made-to-order accessories, please contact me by phone or email. Some of my accessories are also for sale via the online wedding shops at Aye Do and Olivier Laudus. If you see my designs elsewhere then they are not authorised and have not been made by me.

Thank you for making my order a priority – I received the garter this morning and it was stunning. Thank you once again, your service has been fantastic. Zena

I wanted to let you know that we received our order today. Thank you so very much. The bag is beautiful and the ring cushion far exceeded our expectations – it’s fabulous. I’m very glad we found you – and will recommend you to everyone! Vicky

Just to let you know the garter arrived this morning safe and sound. I’m over the moon with it (as are my 2 young daughters). I especially love the shade of pink – it’s very subtle and classy and I’ve popped the 100-year-old sixpence in the little satin pouch. My eldest daughter (aged 9) on seeing the garter asked me to get you to make her garter when she gets married! Praise indeed! Thanks again. Will be in touch with you later in the year regarding the second one I need. Anne Louise

I collected my parcel from the sorting office this morning. I just wanted to email you to tell you how pleased I am with them, they are both absolutely beautiful. Thank you very much for being able to do them both in the colours that I wanted. Once again thank you very much. Kara

Thanks so much. I have to say that I have been surfing for hours looking for a garter for my friend. Most of the ones I have seen are trashy, cheap and yukky looking. I had just given up when I came across your site and saw the lovely garters there. It is sweet of you to prioritise my order and I appreciate it. Jacqueline

I received the garter yesterday. It's just absolutely perfect. All the other ones that I had seen were very lacy and the one I received is
so elegant. I will definitely recommend you to any friends looking for
garters. Sheila

I wanted you to know that the pillow arrived and it is beautiful. Thank you so much, my daughter loves it and it is exactly perfect. We will cherish it as an heirloom. Cathleen

Just to let you know that I have received my garter and it's fantastic! I'm sure my fiancé is going to love it!! Many thanks. Jacqui

Thanks so much for the sash, it's just what i wanted. It's stunning, thank you!! Wendy

I have received my garter and am over the moon! I have looked all over for a nice pink one... and the idea with the little blue bow is brill! Thanks again! Lynsey

I picked up my garter today, it looks amazing! I'm really chuffed with it. I have a couple of friends getting married soon and I will pass your details on to them! Julia

I thought you might like to see a picture of the fur wrap. I
loved wearing it and it also kept me warm so was very grateful for it!! Susanne

This is just to confirm that the wrap has arrived safely and my daughter is thrilled with it! Anna

Just wanted to say thank you again for all of your hard work . Everyone loved the ring cushion and tiny veil – there are some lovely pictures – although one of the little girls wanted to keep wearing it. Lisa

My daughter was delighted with the bag. Please can you make the other three… Many thanks, we received the bags first thing this morning, they are great. Thank you for all your hard work, we will be happy to pass on your name to other future brides looking for bags etc. Carol

Thank you very much for sending me the garter so quickly. I am really, really pleased with it and can't wait to give it to my friend. Thank you very much for your help with this. Emma-Jayne

Thanks, received the wraps today – they're perfect. Jo

Many thanks for dealing with this order so quickly. I know my niece will be delighted with the 'Jasmine' garter – she's going to 'borrow' it from me, and the idea is we keep it in the family for the various weddings that are coming up. However, if any of them wants to buy their own – or other accessories – I'll know where to direct them. Frances

Received my cushion and I am really pleased with it. Thank you for your prompt and efficient service and if anybody ever asks, I would certainly be recommending you. Rachel

I have just received the ring cushion, I just wanted to thank you very, very much. It is more beautiful than I had hoped! Two colleagues of mine saw it and as they're getting married soon they are planning on getting in touch for one too! Emma

I would just like to say I have received my tartan garter and it is perfect! If anyone I know ever needs anything similar, I will be sure to let them know of your site! Thank you so much! Jo

I received the bag yesterday. Thanks – it's lovely. Andrea

Many thanks for sending the garter so promptly. I received this yesterday and it is just what I was looking for; really beautiful. Jacqueline

Thank you so much. The ring cushion arrived in good time and was perfect on the day. If I find I have a photograph of the cushion, I will email it on to you. The wedding was everything I dreamt it would be and more and the success was definitely in the detail, so thank you again for your help. Caroline
