Karen’s bolero was a cut-away style with long sleeves in earth and pink silk dupion to match the dress. A waterfall collar revealed the pink lining and softened the line of the front.

Wedding dress inspiration: Dorothy's ruby slippers 👠👠

Creating a bespoke look for a styled photoshoot means I really get to let my imagination run wild. I love picturing my ideal client when I design dresses like this - someone bold, who loves colour, couture and a little bit of whimsy.

Would you walk down the yellow brick road in this wedding dress?

This exact dress is currently part of my Sample Sale - follow the link in my bio, so it can finally click its heels and be whisked away to a new home.
