A simple Short beaded lace Wedding dress in silk with lace overlay. The lace has a floral pattern and embellished with beads and sequins. The cut and style suits Joanna’s tiny frame.

When we work in embellished lace we always have to remove the beads and sequins over the seams, as these cant go into the sewing machine. then we add them back…

Classic Wedding dress for Glen Tanar Wedding Caroline has been in my extended circle of friends for as long as I remember. Therefore, it’s as a real honour to be asked to design and make her wedding dress for her. Caroline wanted a modern take on the Classic Wedding Dress, with a strapless full skirt, so that’s what we made her. The dress is based on a Duchesse satin bodice and a full tulle skirt. The tulle is layered with soft thin tulle on the outside. We then used thicker tulle on the inside, hence to add to the volume….

Wedding in Tivoli Copenhagen A dream come true for me when we got to make Rachel’s bespoke wedding dress. The bride and groom love Denmark and Copenhagen, so the wedding was planned to be held in Tivoli Gardens.  Rachel had no idea I am Danish, and in love with Tivoli Gardens.

I am a total fan of Dior’s New Look and that whole era, so I was very excited about it all. Rachel chose a…

Pink Wedding Dress Pink, Weddings and Florence, I think they are 3 of my favourite things! So an initial visit from Gillian, telling us about plans of a beautifully intimate wedding in Florence with a Pink very lightweight dress to wear in the heat, we were in heaven. Gillian had me in stitches immediately, her boss had sent her to see me. Gillian and Steve had the whole wedding planned apart from the dress. Gillian’s colleagues had had enough of listening to her about this missing dress. We were so happy to offer our help to Gillian. We really enjoyed…
