I like to help brides with their pink wedding dress inspiration. I have made bespoke wedding dresses in all shades of pink from palest blush and blossom, subtle peach through to bold fuchsia and neon brights. A pink wedding dress is feminine and elegant. I made all the bespoke wedding dresses in this post. Most...
Danielle wanted a pretty and elegant dress with applique lace and subtle sequin sparkles on a nude base. We were aiming for something lightweight, feminine and figure-hugging. So I designed a dress that was a little soft romantic, a little boho and a little sexy, accentuating Danielleâs hourglass figure. This bespoke nude lace wedding dress...
For Bride, Chrissy, I made a fully bespoke backless wedding top with latkan. Chrissy ordered the top from my âEvieâ Indian fusion wedding set on Etsy. These bridal separates are becoming some of my bestsellers â usually theyâre bought by couples having a mixed culture wedding. Chrissy chose the silk satin top in white, and...
For this bespoke wedding dress photoshoot in Hertfordshire, we created an autumnal woodland wedding. We chose a colour palette of burnt orange, red, burgundy and pink, with accents of white and gold. Everything was handmade including the bunting, macrame and tablescape, for a truly bespoke feel. This wedding is for the kind of bride who...
I created an elopement wedding dress for this stunning mature bride, made in pale peachy pink silk satin with incredible beaded and applique tulle overlay. Silk chiffon flowers with bold colour print, pearls and glass beads fade from neckline to hem.â The shape was simple and flattering, a column dress with round neckline, cap sleeves...
For this bespoke wedding dress photoshoot in Hampshire, we wanted to evoke the feeling of a fairy tale. Of a princess being whisked away by her prince, of magic, whimsy and romance. The colours we wanted to focus on were blush pink, various shades of green and deep burgundy. All inspired by the colours found...
Angie wanted a blue halter neck wedding dress for her special day. As a mature bride I encouraged her to have whatever she wanted and I love that is had the confidence to live our her fantasy wedding dress dreams. Choosing a colour instead of white can be more flattering to the mature figure and...
For this Marie Antoinette wedding dress photoshoot, we took inspiration from the aesthetic of Bridgeton. I think we ended up with something slightly different, but equally wonderful, donât you think? Our colour scheme was pastels; blush, pinks, coral, creamy ivory and hints of baby blue and gold. We wanted to evoke something romantic and ethereal...
The work I did for Ellie included modest bridesmaidâs alterations and helping to make a bolero for each maid. Ellie found bought her bridesmaids dresses from the high street. And then had the necklines extensively altered to meet the modesty standards that were important to her. The gorgeous little boleros were actually finished by Ellieâs...
I created a bespoke modest lace wedding dress for Ellie. In fact it was a dress created from the base of a shop-bought dress but with a major re-design. Ellie found a Pronovias dress in a high street shop with lace and detailing she loved but some elements of the style and particularly the neckline...

"Your talent, creativity and attention to detail made this piece so much more than just part of a dress â 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!

Spring is so close I can almost touch it. And with it will come colour again, finally.â

This shoot was about capturing the simple of joy of walking through fields of blossoming flowers, being amongst the delicate scents and soft petals.â

"I truly cannot say enough AMAZING things about Felicity and the magical dyed overskirt she made for me! My overskirt is sincerely beyond all expectations and even more." - Ginny, the bride đâ
â
Ginny wanted colour, and I was more than happy to oblige! Almost a full rainbow (just missing a bit of green), the vibrancy of this dip dye overskirt makes me so happy. This has got to be the bridal version of dopamine dress, right? â
â
Ginny also chose to start the blend higher up than most brides, meaning there`s even more colour than my usual dip dye wedding dresses.â
â
Keep scrolling to see what the skirt looked like on the day â¨ď¸â

I can`t wait to see what gorgeous colour combinations my gorgeous brides bring to me this year! What combination would you choose?
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.â

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.â

Let`s all take a moment from our day to marvel at how gorgeous Sophia was in her sparkling black wedding dress. She`s channelling Morticia Addams` dark sensuality so effortlessly. With her husband Colin, providing the perfect Gomez.â

Elegant, ethereal and deliciously gothic.â

If you want a wedding dress that`s as black as your soul, send me a bat (or a DM, up to you)đŚâ
