I`m continuing to celebrate @michele_and_graziella⁠ this week by featuring the photoshoot where I finally got to hire them for my own Strictly Ballroom wedding photoshoot.⁠
⁠
Not only were they the perfect models for my vision, with a gorgeous mix of masc and femme, and so much natural chemistry, they were also so professional and lovely to work with. ⁠And although neither of them are dancers, they conveyed the spirit of the Latin dances we were paying homage to expertly.⁠
⁠
They are both so experienced and talented that every photograph they`re in is just stunning. It is such a pleasure to see my bespoke designs modelled by them. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future 🤞🏻⁠

So far, as part of my celebration for Pride, I`ve featured queer wedding inspiration and queer clients, but I want to amplify real LGBTQ+ talent too.⁠
⁠
@michele_and_graziella are a real couple and also a model couple, who I met during a cabaret-themed wedding shoot. Then, a few month`s later, they happened to be the models hired for a completely different shoot I was involved in. It was so lovely to see them again, and hear their excitement about wearing more of my designs.⁠ ⁠
⁠
I was so impressed with how well they managed to nail the vibes of two such contrasting wedding set ups. One bold, loud and full of attitude, and the other soft and gentle.⁠
⁠
When it came time for me to pick models for my own Strictly Ballroom-inspired wedding shoot, asking Michele and Graziella was a no-brainer. ⁠But that`s for another post...⁠

⁠Gemma and Vikkie were married in a venue steeped in family tradition and history. They were wed in The Guild Hall in Windsor, and the reception was in a local pub, The George, which is one of their favourites.⁠
⁠
I love personal details like that. In the same way that getting a bespoke wedding outfit it such an amazing way of reflecting who you truly are. ⁠
⁠
There`s something very satisfying about the simplicity of the wedding ensemble I made for Gemma. When the star of the show is that beautiful lace, there`s no need to go crazy with design or embellishment - the fabric does all the work (with a little help from me, of course!). ⁠
⁠
Not only that, but Gemma and Vickie managed to co-ordinate their wedding looks perfectly, as though the two outfits had been made together. Perfect!⁠
⁠
I am honoured to have created this outfit for Gemma, and been a small part of adding their wedding to the family tradition. ⁠

As Pride month continues, it only feels fitting (pun intended!) to celebrate real LGTBQ+ couples. ⁠
⁠
Gemma wanted something light, clean and pretty, and although bespoke wedding dresses are my bread and butter, I`m always delighted when someone comes to me with something a little different. ⁠
⁠
We came up with a simple and elegant two piece wedding ensemble made in ivory silk satin-back crepe and beaded lace. Comprising of a straight leg trouser with pleated detail waistline and a satin cami top layered with beautiful, sparkling lace.⁠ ⁠
⁠
If you`re looking for an outfit that reflects your style and compliments your own wife-to-be, then get in touch!⁠

A mother and daughter kind of love...⁠
⁠
For this mother of the bride I created a simple and elegant dress in a beautifully rich, deep green silk dupion, with a boat neckline and three quarter length sleeves. My favourite detail? The matching belt-like waistband, made of the same green fabric. What an elegant lady!⁠
⁠
The whole project was a family affair, since I altered the bride`s vintage wedding dress as well 💜⁠
⁠
It`s always a pleasure to design and create a Mother of the Bride (or Groom) outfit that not only harmonises with the wedding`s theme, but also reflects the personality of the MOB. ⁠
⁠
I have just filled my final Mother of the Bride slot for the summer, but still have slots available for weddings happening in autumn, from September onwards.⁠
