Alice commissioned bespoke bridesmaids dresses surrey for her grown up bridesmaids, in gorgeous purple silk dupion. The simple strapless dresses have fitted and boned bodices, cut princess line with floor length a-line skirts. I gave them have silver silk-satin sashes that loop rather than tie at the back, finished with with diamante detailing.

I was lucky enough to be making a lot of things for Alice’s wedding day. Not just the two adult bridesmaids, but also Alice’s wedding dress and flower girl dresses for the little ones too! You can see more about those dresses through the links.

I also made silver silk ties and hankies for her groomsmen. You can see more details of that commission here.

The sash ends of both dresses were beaded with Swarovski crystal diamante stones to echo the beading on Alice’s wedding dress. I sewed each sparkle on by hand for a secure finish.

The two dresses hanging up ready to be collected, along with Alice’s wedding dress. They have all been steamed and stuffed with tissue paper to make them crease free and easy to travel.

Original design sketch for the dresses.

I also love these purple silk dresses I made for another set of bridesmaids. This time in a 1950’s shape, though butterflies were once more part of the design aesthetic.

I have made lots of bespoke bridesmaid dresses for my clients over the years. To see more examples head over to my portfolio page. I have having pricing guidance and an FAQ page about the bespoke dressmaking process. And of course you are always welcome to be in touch to ask any questions or to make an appointment to discuss having custom dresses made for your own bridal party. Perhaps another set of purple dresses still lies ahead of me!

This sheer tulle overdress is embroidered from neckline to hem with wildflowers in red and lilac, trailing leaves that climb up and down from the waist like something grown, not made. Beaded droplets catch the light along every seam of the train - dew picked straight from the meadow. 🍃

A high neckline, delicate button-and-loop back, and cold-shoulder sleeves finished with beaded drops make this one for the bride who wants whimsy with a wild edge.

This is a photoshoot sample - one of a kind, in excellent condition, and listed at more than half the retail price. Worn here over an ivory slip, but this overdress can also be styled alone or with one of my dip-dye underskirts, for a pop of colour beneath the tulle.

I originally made this wedding dress for a cultural fusion styled shoot. 

It's made from the fabric of two fuchsia pink lehengas, carefully disassembled and rebuilt to fit my design. It mattered to me to source genuine fabric from an Indian seller — nothing compares to the quality and detail of the real thing.

Designing this dress meant finding the perfect balance between traditional Indian textiles, British bridal silhouettes, and a few modern touches of my own. A fusion across geography and time. ✨

If there are parts of your culture and heritage you want present in your wedding dress, then drop me a message. I love cultural fusion, so getting to work with brides with varied and beautiful backgrounds is always such a pleasure.
