Short 50es style wedding dress for a stunning winter wedding at Carlowrie Castle. Laurene knew pretty much exactly what she wanted when she visited us for the first time. She had loads of ideas and images with vintage and lace details. We very quickly moved on to make the real dress, and then we had to wait for a while for the wedding day to arrive, we as impatient as Laurene. She spent the time organising so many DIY details for the wedding. I have rarely seen more beautiful stationery and she made her own cake and so many other…

A Relaxed Converted Barn Wedding at Healey Barn,  is the exciting brief Rebecca presents me with at our first meeting. Lots of planning had gone into the wedding which would make the lovely couple achieve a relaxed fun day for everybody. The dress had to match the feel!.  By working together and choosing materials from our samples in the shop we created something fully bespoke for Rebecca. Her dress is based on a boned bodice and a soft flowy silk satin chiffon skirt. With that Rebecca chose an ivory embroidered tulle overlay, therefore, creating a kind of soft “blousey” soft feel. By adding decorations of pearl…

Emma’s bride dress requirement had to suit her wheelchair. Emma spends time out of the chair, as well as in. The bespoke dress had to be all of that of a wonderful wedding dress, and then it had to fit into the chair. Finding Emma’s fine features really suited the delicate embroidered tulle with sequins and beads and silver embroidery. So that was chosen for bodice and sleeves. Silk satin chiffon, overlay in a full A-line skirt without a train was a great option to sit soft over the legs. The advantage of the silk was also limited creasing for…

A Silk Organza dress with heavy embellishment and aqua accent colour A  new lovely bride with the best ideas, venue, and photographer is just the best start to a new project. It was just so when Joanna came to see me with all her ideas for the wedding. Bespoke dress with princess skirt, elaborate beadwork, and aqua blue accent were all on the list. We helped her pick a full circle Chinese silk organza skirt with a strapless sweetheart neckline bodice. With that, she picked a heavily beaded lace with pearls and sequins. Finishing the lace top with silk chiffon belt,…

Fitting wedding dress for Scottish Castle Wedding in Aberdour in Fife. Having dreams of a Scottish Castle wedding, with a wedding dress to fit the theme. Rachel was falling in love with the Astrid Dress from our collection.

The silk materials and fine lace make the dress so…

Gina and Jason had decided for double celebrations of their big day.  First with a day out in Edinburgh, with their close friends. Then a blessing and a big party in a stunning house near Barcelona called Almiral De La Font. It was such an amazing brief I got from Gina when she first came to see me. She was the most fun bride to work with. She and Jason are childhood sweethearts. I think they have imagined their wedding for years. Gina first chose the biggest tulle skirt, a boned corset style satin top and a lace jacket to go…

On this dark January day, I just want it to be summer again. What could be better than to look at the best outdoor wedding? Months before her wedding Emily came to me to talk dress. I was so happy to work with her, and she chose a beautiful dress from our collection. She went for the Millie dress which is empire-line cut and has an illusion neckline and it has beaded lace motifs and beaded lace scalloped hemline. The feel of the wedding was light, summery, so colourful and informal. The wedding held in one of my favourite places…

Maria is such a cool girl you would just admire, she is working hard at her PhD and she is doing great at sports. She is the beautiful daughter of good friends.

We made her a fitted bodice with ivory lace overlay. The lace had a champagne cord enhancing the floral design. The colour really suited Maria.  The lace created a sweetheart neckline on the front and…
