Both Teacup and Saucers come in a beautiful pastel and gold gift box, making it the perfect gift. These items are sure to be a keepsake in any couple's home.

Speaking from her own experience in finding the perfect wedding gift for friends, Yvonne Ellen says, "Not being able to find that perfect wedding gift was where it all had kickstarted my love of designing a gorgeous and chic range of homeware. It was my best friend's wedding, and I was struggling with what to buy for a gift. I wanted to give the couple something beautiful and unique, something super special that I just couldn't find on the high street, no matter how hard I looked.

"I had a huge collection of absolutely stunning vintage china which I had collected over the years from various charity shops, market stalls and car boot sales and from there I decided to upcycle a tea set by hand-painting it which ultimately gave the gift a perfect balance of personal and chic! After receiving amazing feedback from friends and family, I decided to take the leap and suddenly Yvonne Ellen London was born!"
