Traditions: Who’s Wedding is it Anyway?

The story of a mother and daughter So the story I was told (a friend of a friend, you know the sort of thing): A wedding organiser was sitting in a pre-wedding meeting with the Bride and her mother. But it’s a strange thing that the bride is not answering any of the questions, Mum...

"Your talent, creativity and attention to detail made this piece so much more than just part of a dress – it became a beautiful expression of who I am. We were completely overwhelmed and deeply impressed."

For this dip dye overskirt, Marina and I went through a few different colour combinations before we landed on something she felt was perfect. I'm always happy to create as many samples as a bride needs to feel really sure about her choice. Originally Marina wanted the gradient to start at yellow, but after I sent her the first sample, and seeing it in real life, she decided the yellow was a little too yellow, and we went for a lime green instead. That way, she still got the brightness she wanted, but staying within a more restricted colour palette. 

Then I get to begin layering all the colours. From that chartreuse, finishing on a deep, forest green, and then adding a layer of fine silver glitter on top. I think the sparkle is a beautiful touch. After that, I packaged it up carefully and sent to Switzerland, where Marina lives. And finally, her dip dye overskirt got to do its job - adding colour, style and personality to her wedding dress.

If you're a bride who wants to bring dopamine dressing to your wedding day, drop me a DM! There are so many fabulous ways of adding colour to your day, and I would love to help.
When I made this wedding dress in 2017, I wasn't expecting it to be such a success. It's been featured in so many bridal photoshoots (I think four or five so far), and every time the styling has been completely different.

It's so interesting to me how versatile a dress like this can be. All you need is a little imagination. Even though the dress itself was originally designed as a period-inspired piece, it's been used for an Edwardian Downton Abbey inspired photoshoot, a Victorian gypsy photoshoot and a modern outdoor shoot.

Which version do you prefer?

I'm currently have a sample sale on my Etsy, where this beauty is less than ÂŁ700. So if you love this dress, grab her whilst you can!

Sometimes I get so carried away with making a bespoke wedding dress I completely forget to record the process for you lovely lot! Filming content is fun, but it doesn't compare to getting lost in the process of a creating.⁠

My Morticia-inspired wedding dress is one of my most popular designs, and I can see why. Sparkly, sexy, figure-hugging, dramatic. Have a look at my previous post to see the *stunning* photos of this one on its bride, especially if you've got a gothic wedding in mind.⁠
