Blush and Grey Bespoke Bridal Separates Surrey

Case 1 Wedding separates bride modern alternative blush and grey tulle

I made this set of bespoke bridal separates Surrey. Holly commissioned a modern and romantic two piece ensemble in dove grey and blush pink.

The sleeveless boatneck top is made from pale pink matt crepe-silk. I ensured the waterfall back detail reveals the shiny satin side of the fabric in alternate flashes. Cut to just skim the feature waistband of the skirt below and occasionally reveal Holly’s amazingly toned stomach as she moves. It fastens with a single covered button and loop on a gentle v-back neckline. I cut the tulle skirt as a full circle so it is floor length from the natural waistline in three layers of softest grey tulle and satin back crepe. The waistband is shaped at the back to a soft point with matching covered buttons and loops that peek out as the waterfall back swings open.

Having a bespoke wedding dress made, whether it is modern separates or a classic dress with lace beading and a button back is a sure way to get exactly the dress you want. When I make a bespoke dress for one of my clients I start with a comprehensive set of measurements. I then create a unique dress pattern to fit this bride. I series of fittings, starting with a ‘toile fitting’, which is a practice run in cheap fabrics, ensures a perfect fit. Extra details like hand beading or embroidery can always be included.

If you would like to talk to me about having your own bespoke wedding dress made you can contact me.

Sumptuous sky-blue silk. 
A figure-hugging silhouette.
Corseted with lilac ribbon. 
And sparkling lace accents.

This is the kind of bridal outfit that makes me excited to get into my workshop every day. Colourful, confident and completely Caroline.

Originally Caroline wanted a cocktail-style dress, but eventually changed her mind to a bodice and skirt ensemble. That’s part of the joy of having your wedding dress made specifically for you – you can explore options and try different things out. It’s all part of the bespoke process. When a bride tells me she’s not sure about something, that helps me to get her one step closer to her dream dress. And that’s what we both want!

This is only half of what I made for Caroline – I can’t wait to show you the other half properly (you may have already glimpsed it in the video). I’ll be posting about that next, and trust me, it’s worth the wait.

“Felicity listened to what I wanted, gave a clear quote and completed the alterations so nobody could see them. Clear booking system as well. Would recommend.”⁠

Sometimes it takes a little adjustment here and there to make a wedding dress feel like it was made for you, and sometimes a dress needs a more dramatic transformation. Either way, I'm here to help.⁠
⁠
If you're interested in getting your dress altered for this year, I'm currently booked up until the beginning of October. So if your wedding is November onwards and your dress doesn't feel quite right yet, drop me a message. But don't wait too long - spaces are filling up fast.⁠
⁠
You can always book in a no-obligation consultation with me, to see if I would be the right fit for you and your dress - link in bio.⁠

Sure, my usual role is a bespoke wedding dress maker, creating beautiful and unique garments for brides looking for something a little different. 

But sometimes I'm also a lighting assistant, a caterer, a last-minute-rush-to-the-shopper. That's the fun of being a creative, working with other creatives. 

This was from a styled photoshoot I organised, based on the iconic 90s film, Strictly Ballroom. I made these dazzling neon bridesmaids outfits based around the stunning costumes of Latin ballroom dancers. Our photographer really wanted the colours to pop in the atmospheric darkness of our location, so of course I volunteered myself as floor level tripod 😂

The photos turned out amazing, so it was definitely worth it!

Have you ever found yourself doing a job you never expected?
