Blush chiffon wedding dress

Cristina commissioned a blush chiffon wedding dress. I made her dress in palest pink silk georgette over satin linings. The chiffons layers were draped to flatter her tiny waist and full bust.

Official photographs by Sarah Lauren:

I made the dress with a fitted and boned bodice with round neckline and straps. Draped georgette is ruched in a cross over design across the front bodice and flows into the skirt with waterfalls from the hip. I cut the skirt as a full circle which hangs straight to the floor in these soft fabrics. I made sure that though dress fastens with a hidden zip, it is to one side allowing the back bodice to have unbroken ruching across its width. The subtle colour ‘blush’ of the georgette was perfect for her summer wedding day

Cristina has a perfect hourglass figure with a tiny waist but fuller hips and bust so the structure of the bodice was important. We needed to provide support for the bust while keeping the overall look of the dress soft and flowing.

Cristina was kind enough to nominate me for a Bridal Industry award. here is what she said in her nomination:?She was patient, knowledgeable, & trustworthy. She went out of her way to make the dress design & fittings a relaxed & fun experience. She listened well and completely understood the vision I had for my dress, and made me feel confident & beautiful.”

Cristina said: I hope you can see from these pictures that the dress was just beautiful. You were friendly and approachable, and made the whole process just a treat. I felt glamorous ad romantic yet comfortable and like myself in the dress. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thanks and best wishes to you and your family, Cristina.

Cristina opted to have her blush chiffon dress without a train. Instead, the fluted look of the hip waterfall and the roll hem of the main skirt created enough interest. This left Cristina un-encumbered for her outdoor wedding day.

Making Cristina’s dress included the a ‘toile’ fitting which is a practice run of the dress made up in cheap materials.

You can see another blush wedding dress I made here, this time for an Edinburgh castle wedding.

And I have a page dedicated to pink wedding dresses I have designed for you to explore the range of that beautiful colour.

When I signed up to do this Surrey based wedding photoshoot, I wasn't expecting to find two of my dear theatre friends there as well! In fact, we had been having dinner together a few weeks before, and they mentioned they were modelling for a photoshoot, and I mentioned I was supplying a wedding dress for a shoot, and neither of us realised it was the same one! So it was extra lovely to spend some unexpected time with them.

It was also lovely to connect with other local wedding suppliers. Working in this industry as a wedding dress maker can be quite a solitary existence, so part of the reason I do shoots like these is to network with others, and also to revel in their creativity! There were so many gorgeous little details from this shoot, but those will be in my next post...

I've been nominated for the 2026 Wedding Industry Awards 🥳⁠
⁠
Recently I was looking through my emails, as you do, when I see one that looks a little bit more exciting than the usual spam. It was from the Wedding Industry Awards letting me know that one of my clients has put me forward for the "Independent Dressmaker/Designer" category. It was such a lovely surprise!⁠
⁠
I previously entered these awards in 2016 and 2018. Both times I made it to the regional finals, but I never came away having won. So I thought this year I'd give it another try, spurred on by the kindness of a client 🥰⁠
⁠
Which leads me to asking you all for a favour. If you used my services between Oct 1st 2024 up until now (all that way until Sept 29th 2025) then you are eligible to vote for me. Unfortunately, anyone I've made a wedding outfit for before this can't vote.⁠
⁠
Winning an award voted for by the people I work for is such a gorgeous feeling, so if you have a few minutes to spare, you can find the voting link in my bio 💜⁠
⁠
If you do vote for me, let me know so I can give you a big virtual hug!
