The past five years have been exciting, scary, busy, joyful, difficult, creative! And I`m grateful for every single day.
From 2020 to now, I opened my bridal shop, I won a Muddy Stilettoes award and a Wedding Industry award. I made a lot of dresses, used up a lot of cans of spray paint and danced around my shop more often that you`d think 💃🏻
What springs to your mind when you think of the past five years?

Having crunched the numbers, I`m sharing with you the top 5 wedding dresses that really resonated with you all last year.
In no particular order:
1. Even though Rebecca lives in Germany, she sought me out specifically due to seeing my particular approach to colour. She wanted a wedding dress fit for an ethereal princess, complete with this stunning hand-dyed pastel rainbow gradient 🦄✨️
2. I love cultural fusion, so getting to work on this styled shoot was such a pleasure. I loooved stretching my creative muscles to find the perfect blend of traditional Indian and British elements for this dress.
3. Nicky`s inspiration for her wedding dress was the lyrics of Touch by Soft Cell, which is such a fun starting point for a design!
4. The inspo for this photoshoot dress was ancient Egyptian and Greek fashion, but with the kind of interpretation that you might see in Game of Thrones or a fantasy film. I wanted to give a sense of majesty and opulence, without it being too clean and modern and the gold leaf was the perfect solution.
5. Kathy is a local textile artist who was having a launch party for her latest collection, and wanted something extra special for the occasion. Making this dress was such a wonderful collaboration. Kathy created a new design to be printed onto fabric, and brought me a vintage pattern she wanted to use.
What a year full of colour and creativity! Which look is your favourite?

It`s always nice to look back on the year and see the things I`ve achieved. So today I`m going through the top alterations I did in 2025, according to how many of you engaged with them.
So, in no particular order:
1. Jennifer`s custom dip dye wedding dress is such a delicious explosion of colour, so of course it was going to rank highly! It`s good to see that the Phoenix colourway is still going strong 🔥
2. After Catherine came to me to get her wedding dress altered, she told me one of her bridesmaids was doing up the back of the dress and said "wait, I thought when you bought it, you said the dress was open back? Did you get a new dress?"
You lot absolutely loved this alteration! It is by far my most popular post of the year, and it was so lovely to connect with so many new people who appreciated my work on this.
3. Katie wanted a chic, modern bridal veil. Her wedding dress already had delicate 3D flowers on the bodice, so we echoed this design element in the veil. I hand embellished almost 400 satin flowers!
4. With alterations, usually it`s about making the dress the right fit for the bride. But sometimes, when I`m very lucky, I get to play. I embellished Karen`s beautiful off-shoulder wedding dress with hundreds of little embroidered flowers. This one is a personal favourite of the year.
5. Finally I did a full re-style of Eleanor`s wedding dress. It had originally been a long, heavy Elizabethan-inspired affair, but for her wedding anniversary she wanted something lighter, more easy to move in and more versatile. My most controversial alteration this year - some of you had very strong feelings about the change, but Eleanor was happy, so I am too.
Next I`ll be going through the top 5 bespoke wedding dresses I made this year. Follow along to find out if your favourite made it 👀
