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.

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?

"Just a very quick note from Rome to let you know how very admired your dress was. Lots of people said how beautiful it was. It really was the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. I definitely would like to work out how to potentially wear it again - I can’t bear the thought that I’ll never wear it again!

Thank you again - you truly are an alchemist!"

All the quiet hours designing, cutting, sewing and hand-stitching were all worth it, just to hear a bride so happy with her wedding dress. 

Want to see what this dreamy dress looked like on the day? I'll be posting the official wedding shots later this week. You won't want to miss this one, I promise you. This gown has quickly become a new favourite of mine 💙

What do you do with a wedding dress that's too precious to forget, but too beautiful to leave in a box forever?⁠
⁠
Last year I shared a wedding dress transformation I had done. I upcycled a Victorian-inspired dress I'd made fifteen years earlier - something only suited to a wedding - into something infinitely more wearable.⁠
⁠
And people had feelings about it. Big feelings.⁠
⁠
I understand that when you really love how something looks, it can feel criminal to see it changed into something you wouldn't choose for yourself.⁠
⁠
But this is what Eleanor chose for her wedding dress. And she, of all people, is the most attached to how it looked in the first place. But as she said, if she'd just had a new dress made for her anniversary, it wouldn't have been the same. This fabric gently held her as a young adult, making a life long commitment to someone else. It rested against her chest as her heart beat hard and fast when saying "I do". It swirled around her hips as she took her first dance. It pooled around her feet as she finally sat down, exhilarated and tired. Now a wife.⁠
⁠
And now this new dress can be with her through so many more experiences, holding those old memories, whilst also making new ones.⁠
⁠
This is what I do - I help your dress live a second life. Would you ever have yours transformed?
This gorgeous bespoke bronze wedding dress has gained a bit of attention recently, ever since I shared the secrets of how she fastens at the back, so I thought I'd bring her back for you to see in full. ✨

Making this dress was a dream, but nothing beats seeing how beautiful this bride looked on the day, surrounded by old stone, wild forest, and the people she loves.

Your wedding dress is about you, it's you, showing up in something that tells everyone exactly who you are. And I think this dress tells us this bride is opulent, elegant and regal. Basically? She's a queen. 👑

Getting your dress made specifically for you means you get to be really specific about how you want to look and feel on the day. Bright, modern and playful. Wild, dramatic and daring. Whatever your vibe, working with a maker who prioritises your ideas is a must.

If you're ready to take a step towards a truly bespoke bridal experience, drop me a DM. 💌
