Final Thoughts

As it's the last day of voting I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me in this competition. Whatever the outcome, I feel really privileged to have been involved and I've had some great experiences and met many interesting people over the past few weeks. I'm sure there will be many more exciting opportunities to come!

Best wishes to all of the finalists. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Website Launch

It's been a manic few months getting this put together but I feel very proud looking at it now. I've already had some very positive feedback from people that have been on for a look.

Thinking back to the start of this project, I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. My favourite part was the day of the photo shoot as that's when I saw my vision coming together for the first time. It was such a creative day and it was great to work with such professional people - the photographers, make up artist, hair stylist and models were all superb. I felt like I was on a shoot for Vogue!

My brochure is coming out as well next week. It really is an amazing feeling to finally see my idea actually happening. Winning this competition really would be the icing on the cake!

Entrepreneurs Forum Annual Conference

I was invited to attend the Entrepreneurs' Forum annual conference and dinner yesterday and it was a thoroughly inspiring and entertaining day. A personal highlight was guest speaker Elle Macpherson. She is a style icon of mine and I've even named one of my tiaras after her! I met some very interesting people and particularly enjoyed meeting my fellow 'If we can you can' challenge finalists. I really hope we can all meet up again because I thought it was great to chat to people with such a wide range of talents. We should definitely oraganise a night out!

Aimee Anderson's testimonial

"The tiara that Rosie created for me was unlike anything I had seen elsewhere. It was unique and stylish with crystals which matched my dress perfectly. Everyone commented on how stunning it was. Rosie’s service was second to none, as are her creations." Aimee Anderson

Emma Tuff's testimonial

"It was difficult to decide which tiara to choose from Rosie Willett Designs as they are all very elegant and beautiful. Everything in the collection is handmade by Rosie, which meant that I could have a personalised tiara to match the colours and beads in my wedding dress. I couldn't have been more pleased with the finished product. It was an outstanding feature of my whole outfit and was much admired by my wedding guests. Since Rosie Willett Designs also caters for mother of the bride and bridesmaids, my mother chose a large flower headpiece which was created to co-ordinate with her outfit and my bridesmaid wore a smaller flower to match her dress. Rosie also designs jewellery and I have returned to her on many occasions for necklaces and hair accessories to add something unique to outfits for special occasions." Emma Tuff

Helen Fernandes' testimonial

"Like every bride, I wanted to look perfect on my wedding day, but having to make choices to achieve the right look can be quite daunting. Luckily, I met Rosie Willett, who showed me her beautiful collection of handmade tiaras. With her experience as a designer, she was able to advise me in selecting the right tiara and hair accessories for me and my bridesmaids. I chose an ornate floral organza headpiece with pearl and Swarovski crystal and some matching jewellery in the same beading. The total effect was stunning and also very comfortable to wear. Rosie also made a matching miniature flower hair clip for my one year old flower girl and we had so many lovely comments from friends and family. Rosie provided a truly magnificent service." Helen Fernandes

Kate Wilkinson's testimonial

"Rosie provided the perfect finishing touches for myself and my bridesmaids on the big day. The service was friendly and professional and she paid particular attention to the colour of dresses to ensure that the jewellery and hair accessories complemented the overall look. The headpiece was stunning and it received many compliments on the day. Nothing is too much trouble at ROSIE WILLETT DESIGNS and it is lovely to have such an original piece as a reminder of your wedding day. Thanks Rosie!" Kate Wilkinson

"I love how Rosie's designs are modern and unique, unlike many others that I had seen. Everything is made to order so has a personal touch and can be tweaked to your specification, which was perfect for me. When my brother got married I went to Rosie again to have another hair accessory made." Angela Smith
