Custom flower girl dress Surrey

handmade child bridesmaid dress in mid pink silk dupion with puffed sleeves

I think every little girl’s dream is being a flower girl and wearing the dress of her dreams, perhaps a custom flower girl dress Surrey. I made this dress for Eleanor’s wedding, along with four bespoke dresses for the adult bridesmaids as well. The wedding colour theme was a spring palette or pinks, ivory and pale gold. I made the flower girl dress is a rose pink silk dupion with an ivory organza sash.

Planning a custom flower girl dress Surrey

Making a custom dress for growing children can be a tricky business with timing. We all want everything ready in good time before the wedding, but children grow in unpredictable spurts. And families can be difficult to pin-down for fittings around busy activity schedules. As an experienced bespoke dressmaker and a mum of three myself I am good at working out at ideal fitting timetable to take all these things into account.

The custom flower girl dress was fully lined. With a layer of stiff netting to create fullness under the full length skirt. I designed her dress with a square neckline to echo the neckline’s of the older bridesmaids while being age appropriate. The pretty puffed capped sleeves were feminine and sweet.

I embellished the neckline of the custom flower girl dress with tiny appliqué flowers in ivory and pale gold. Then I added sparkle with real Swarovski crystals, every little girls’ dream.

The sash was made of ivory organza, embroidered with delicate gold sprigs of flowers. At the back the sash tied in a statement bow with long sash ends.

I also made a sweet little waistcoat for the page boy, and a silk bow-tie in fabrics to match the older groomsmen.

I also made the bride’s wedding dress which was in a Victorian inspired historical style, all in pale blue silk. You can see more about Eleanor’s bespoke wedding dress for her Surrey wedding here.

Dream Dresses

Having a custom flower girl dress surrey made for your wedding is the perfect way to make sure your flower girl feels special. Many people choose an off the peg dress for their younger attendants but its very difficult to find any dresses in a colour other than ivory, or a style that’s not run of the mill. So if you are looking for something unique having a dress made to order is a great idea.

One of the pleasures of having my own shop, is I also get some alone time.
If you have a busy life you know the rare joy of getting to hang out with just yourself sometimes.

Which isn't to say I don't love welcoming brides into my shop - I absolutely do.
But I don't think I could ever have a colleague in the shop with me (not full time, anyway). 
Not after working for myself for 25 years, and being used to how I like to to do things. 

Isn't that the difference between being alone and lonely. I am alone, but very much not lonely.

Hands up all my introverts! 🙌🏻
"I am so grateful for your contribution to my dress. Everybody loved it."⁠

This custom dip dye overskirt was the perfect pop of colour for Tanja's wedding dress. ⁠And with autumn well and truly here, I wanted to celebrate those beautiful colours.⁠
⁠
Her floor length skirt included:⁠
💛a graduated hi-low hem to match the dress underneath⁠
🧡two layers of soft tulle⁠
🩷hand dyed with four vibrant colours; yellow, orange, red and burgundy⁠
❤️snaps along the waist for easy attachment and removal to the wedding dress⁠
⁠
My bespoke ombre overskirts have so many other customisation options as well. From extra layers of tulle or lining fabric, to finishing off the waistband with ribbon or a pretty beaded belt. And I have over 30 colours to choose from, so there are almost limitless options.⁠

l've always wanted to see inside this chapel, ever since I was a child. So getting to be on set for this gothic romance wedding shoot and seeing my dress amongst the old stonework was a dream come true 🖤
