Green Wedding Dress Ideas

Tags: Green

Welcome to my page of green wedding dress ideas. Every single one of these dresses is one I have made from scratch in my bespoke wedding dress studio here in Surrey, UK. I actually got married myself in a green wedding dress, so I thoroughly approve of this choice from any bride who enquires with me to have a custom green wedding gown made.

Green wedding dress ideas you could explore range from a hint of pale green at the hem of a soft ivory dress, to a fully green velvet Anne Boleyn style historical gown. Green gives hints of the natural environment, with grass green silk, embroidered leaves and florals or earthy natural dye tones. An ethereal wedding dress in floating green chiffon would be perfect for an Elven wedding. Deep forest hues speak of magic and winter woodland.

Discussing your own green wedding dress ideas

If you would like to chat to me about ideas for a green wedding dress please feel free to get in touch. I am a huge fan of all colourful ideas for weddings, and especially green! As the choice I made for my own wedding day, a green wedding dress is dear to my heart.

I have also made a few green dresses for people who are not getting married themselves. Whether you are a mother of the bride or attending a gala or wedding, shades of green make a great choice.

As well as doing extensive alteration to Bryony`s vintage wedding dress, she also asked me to make her a custom veil in a cowl-back or cascade style (pinned on both sides of the head).⁠
⁠
The wonderful thing about getting a bespoke veil is that it can be designed specifically to compliment your dress, your style and your story.⁠
⁠
I think this veil is the perfect choice to add even more Hollywood glamour to Bryony`s vintage wedding look.⁠

It`s such a lovely feeling when I get to help make a friend`s wedding day all the more special. Bryony and I met through our local theatre, so I was delighted when she asked me to alter her vintage wedding dress. ⁠
⁠
Bryony sourced her wedding dress second hand from @bridesdressrevisited - sustainability is really important to her, so she was never going to buy it brand new. But it`s very rare for an off-the-rail dress to be the perfect fit, especially if it`s lived a longer life than most other wedding dresses.⁠
⁠
As you can see from the early fitting photos, the dress didn`t fit Bryony`s slender frame, and the design of the back and the straps looked a little dated. So my job was to keep, but elevate, the old-time Hollywood style.⁠
⁠
The dress underwent quite a lot of work. Firstly I had to take it in substantially to fit Bryony`s waist. Then I worked on the straps; reangling them to make them more off-shoulder, and taking the lining out, to make them less bulky and more sheer. At the back I lowered the neckline and sewed the original covered buttons back on. There were also a few smaller tasks, like fixing the zip and mending a ripped hem.⁠
⁠
The final result is gorgeous! You would never have known the journey Bryony`s bridal look had gone through - it just looks like a dress made specifically for her.⁠
⁠
If you`ve found your dream wedding dress, but it needs a little adjustment here or there (or a more dramatic change), drop me a DM 💜⁠

Here is a selection of some of the techniques I use to create a bespoke wedding dress. Each dress will combine a different set of the skills I have acquired over my 20 years of professional sewing, like puzzles put together from the same pieces each creating a different finished picture!

These include
pattern cutting,
machine sewing,
pressing,
draping and lace work,
cartridge pleating,
inserting eyelets for a lace up back,
`fussy-cutting` lace for applique,
hand beading,
making and sewing on matching cover buttons

....and so many more!

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.
