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.

This dove grey satin and tulle wedding dress was originally made for a Dungeons and Dragons wedding shoot. I took inspiration from the Tudor era (since high fantasy often has an `olden times` vibe to it), with the billowing tulle giving extra drama.⁠
⁠
When the dress was borrowed for another photoshoot, the aim was to give it an alternative feel - modern hair, dark make-up and more of a couture edge. Almost the opposite of the first!⁠
⁠
I absolutely love non-traditional wedding dresses, and choosing a colour other than white is such a fun way of being subversive. I don`t think grey would be considered an obvious choice, but it definitely is a beautifully unusual one.⁠
⁠
Which of the two ways of styling this dress is your favourite?⁠

It`s Two-style Tuesday!⁠
(but really it`s just a post where I show you one bridal outfit I`ve made, styled in two different ways)⁠
⁠
I made this wide leg jumpsuit in a gorgeous ivory duchess satin. I just think there`s just something really understated and sexy about a jumpsuit.⁠
⁠
On top of that, I added this dip dye tulle overskirt in a full rainbow. Usually for my ombre skirts the colour gradients go up in layers, but this time I tried something different, with the colours going around instead.⁠
⁠
In the first shoot, this look was styled in a very contemporary way - a wet-look hair style, pearl netted veil and a dramatic dark eye, means that even though the skirt has a rainbow, there`s still something moody and alternative about this bride.⁠
⁠
The second look is about using rainbows in a more subtle way - the bouquet, the outfit, the décor, it`s all about colour, but with the brightness gently turned down. It`s rainbows, but rustic.⁠
⁠
There`s so much to like about both approaches, but which outfit styling is your favourite?⁠

Story time!

Remember the Swan Lake themed wedding photoshoot I featured a few days` ago?

When the day came for the shoot, we were blessed with one of the sunniest days of the year so far (and this was March), but the ground was still very wet. We really wanted to get some photos amongst the trees for that real fairy tale feeling, but our beautiful bride, @alicia.modelling_x⁠ didn`t want to risk ruining the outfit.

And that`s when I stepped in!

You may think that a seamstress is only on set to help with the dress. But I`m here to do anything that might be useful to the shoot, and if that means carrying Alicia across the boggy ground, then that`s what I`ll do! 😂
(I was quite pleased that all my work on strength with @mybodyrocksstudio is paying off!)

If you want a seamstress who will not only make the perfect bespoke wedding dress for you, but will also go the extra mile for you, I think you know who to call 😉

Make your own happily ever after 🤍⁠
⁠
⁠This bespoke wedding dress is an ode to Odette, the Swan Princess.⁠
⁠
A satin corset resplendent with hundreds of feathers, individually sewn on.⁠
Bejewelled silver lace, catching the light perfectly. ⁠
Layers of tulle and sequined lace, in a cascade of volume and texture.⁠
⁠
And when it`s time to dance with your prince or princess, the longer layers can be removed to reveal a ballet-length skirt.⁠
⁠
Tag someone who deserves their own fairy tale ending ✨⁠

Today is my birthday, so I wanted to share something I`ve been grateful for almost every year of my life.

I started ballet lessons when I was four, moving on to the Lewiston School of Dance until 18 (I even won the Pointe Work cup with them once). My grandmother had been a professional dancer and my mum also took ballet lessons (and still does, at over 70!), so there has always been a lot of ballet in my family.

When I went to uni, I stopped dancing, then came back to it in the form of adult ballet lessons with my mum, and then got pregnant. After that I found aerial hoop, which replaced dancing as my active hobby. However, my ballet training has really helped my progress in hoop, and I`m very grateful for the skills I continue to draw upon for both hoop and acting.

What`s a hobby you`re grateful to have started, no matter what stage in life?

"Felicity was amazing to work with. I can`t express into words how much I loved my overskirt. We had a unique theme and I knew exactly what I wanted but not how to make it work. She understood the look and colour theme I wanted and absolutely nailed it. From start to finish Felicity was supportive and informative on what would work best to make my vision come to life. Her knowledge and quality of work shines through her pieces. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone!"⁠
⁠
It fills me with so much joy to read such kind words and know that I was a small part of making such a special day happen.⁠
⁠
Bride Ashley chose to have the colours of her dip dye overskirt arranged in vertical stripes rather then my usual horizontal. I think the effect is really striking, where every angle of the skirt reveals a different blend of colours. And it match her hair!⁠
