Mother of the Bride/Groom Services

Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses are notorious for being over the top or looking really old and frumpy. We are here to show you that they most certainly aren’t. A lot of retailers struggle when creating a Mother of the Bride/Groom specific range. This is because anything can really come under that category. It is hard to pinpoint a specific style the way you do with bridal looks. However, like brides, mums range from all different ages so it can be very difficult to create a range that suits all ages. Most of our mums come to us because they…

Jumpsuit Brides

Who said brides had to wear dresses. Jumpsuit Brides are some of our ultimate favourites. The chic spin on your classic bridal look has been so popular this past year, we are obsessed with our brides and can’t wait to see more in 2024. Could a jumpsuit be your ideal bridal look, Style Jumpsuits are definitely not for everyone but they are so effortlessly beautiful when worn right.

Edinburgh University Tartan Dress

Edinburgh University Tartan wedding dress

A stunning Edinburgh University tartan dress. The Dress Patricia’s outfit consisted of a two-piece with a short knee-grazing georgette skirt on the bottom and a corset-style bodice on top. The bodice is made up of tartan and chantilly lace. The chantilly lace muted the colours of the tartan on the bodice, which helped them pop on the sleeves. Additionally, the lace is similar to the style on Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, which is popular and super elegant. Short dresses are something we don’t do a lot of. However, we love them and wish we did more!! The Tartan The couple…

Reworking mum’s wedding dress

The Dress We see a lot of brides who request reworking their mum’s wedding dress for their big day. We can do this, but it’s not always as simple as it sounds. Most women are typically a different size from their mum. Therefore, it often means that the dress is too long or short, and the bust is too big or small. The dress can occasionally be in poor condition due to not being stored correctly or cleaned before being put away. Ali came to us with the idea of reworking her mum’s wedding dress. Despite the above, this dress…

Recommendations for something as big as a wedding dress is always an honour. Kirsty had really good ideas for her dress—tasteful, minimalist vintage style in Glasgow, and suitable for her autumn wedding date. She is great with planning and organisation and had her dress ideas and wedding…

Very sparkly dress with cape

sparkly dress with cape detail

This was such a great project… on so many levels. We LOVED the bride and her sparkly ideas, the stunning venue, and the talented photographer. The Dress Sophie had a grand vision of an effortless dress but with lots of sparkle. She also wanted some cape detail. But that was not something we had done previously. How we constructed the bodice and the cape-style overlay was new. Because in construction terms, it was both sleeves and cape in one. We LOVE how it all turned out. We sampled several lovely sparkly fabrics, but this one was the best. A bra…

Embroidered Tulle Wedding Dress

Embroidered tulle wedding dress The lovely Rosa asked us to make her wedding dress. I only knew later she was studying embroidery, and then it all made sense. She has such a love for fine detail and took great care to choose a very fine delicate floral lace. It was a beautiful design, and it really suited her delicate frame. The wedding was such an exciting one to be part of. Rosa was a dream to work with, and she looked gorgeous on the day. The ceremony took place in their family church in Corstorphine. I drive past that church…
