Pale gold silk, pearls, and sequinned, wedding dress We are so happy being asked to make this dress for Sheelagh. Because we are already so fond of her family as we had made her sister’s wedding dress a while ago. We really enjoyed catching up with her and the family again. It can be hard getting married soon after your sister. Anyone would like to put a personal stamp on their wedding day.  Making it memorable and different, despite loving what your sister had chosen. 4-piece wedding dress Sheelagh went for a bespoke dress in a completely different style of…

Soft Mermaid Wedding Dress, is how I would describe Eilidh’s dress. But there is much more to it! Eilidh had different ideas when we first met to discuss dress. She wanted a bespoke dress with a specific neckline and long big fan out train and very pale ivory colour. But she had specific requirements too, as she was getting married in France at the height of summer and really didn’t want to be too hot. So we looked at it together and sourced some lovely heavy crepe, with a really heavy drape. The fabric worked really well. Eilidh wanted a…

  Jumpsuits for weddings, I think my new favourite thing. I think Rachel wore it better than anyone. I was over the moon when Rachel contacted me about her picking a jumpsuit for her Scottish Highland wedding. She had fixed ideas on style and together we chose the fabrics to achieve the soft heavy drape of the palazzo pant style trouser part and smooth dull satin for the bodice. We structured the bodice with heavy interlining and bones to make it super sharp looking. I love the contemporary look of it. Rachel bought a mesh wrap to wear over the…

Cotton tulle wedding dress with beaded lace details Such fun to meeting and making Jennifer’s cotton tulle wedding dress with beaded lace details. We created a beauty in lace and tulle.

So amazing they all headed to Edinburgh for the dress. They arrived…

Gardeners Cottage Summer Wedding A perfect venue for a city center wedding in the summer. Jane wearing a bespoke wedding dress.  We constructed the dress is with a boned bodice top with buttons fastening.  Attached she had a half-circle skirt also in the beautiful silk crepe.  On top she wears a fine chantilly lace bolero. The bolero is from our collection and embellished with art deco beadwork. The silk crepe is one of my absolute favourite fabrics. It’s opaque and it has somebody to it, but it flows and moves beautifully. At the intimate Ceremony held in the City Chambers,…

Lake District Garden Wedding A very beautiful silk wedding dress was what we made for Shonagh. She had planned a beautiful garden wedding in her parent’s garden in the Lake District. She had picked the date and kept to the date, but due to the corona restrictions had  2 parties to celebrate with all the people she wanted there. Shonagh initially had some different pictures of ideas from Pinterest. They were all stunning and we picked and chose a couple of ideas. The first thing was a simple dress with wrap-over detail and spaghetti straps. And then a little overlay…
