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.

Whimsical Wedding Details #1: Back Necklaces⁠
⁠
You could have all the beautiful sparkles of your wedding look at the front, but why wouldn`t you add something beautiful to the back as well?⁠
⁠
So much time and thought goes into choosing the perfect bridal jewellery - earring, necklace, bracelet and so on. But your guests will often see all angles of you and your dress;⁠
▫️ standing at the alter⁠
▫️ greeting other guests⁠
▫️during your first dance⁠
⁠
I love adding small details that make a big difference, and I think back necklaces are one of those design elements that are both unexpected and delightful.⁠ And these examples demonstrate how varied they can be; from a delicate spider`s web forming a star, to decadent layers of glistening beads for a 1930s inspired look.⁠
⁠
I`ve always loved making jewellery, so getting to combine that passion with my dressmaking is such a treat.⁠
⁠
Which is your favourite? Black, white, red or pink?⁠

Can you get more gothic than that??

This was from our final fitting together. Follow along to see just how drop dead gorgeous Mollie looked on the day 🦇

These photos from Stevie never cease to make my jaw drop. They`re like a gorgeous combination of Morticia Adams, Vampira and the iconic Bride of Frankenstein.⁠
⁠
Stevie saw the original Morticia dress I`d made for a styled wedding shoot and wanted one of their own, with a few adjustments to make it completely unique to them.⁠
⁠
I`ve made four of the Morticia wedding dress now, following the first photoshoot version, and each time it`s such a thrill to see brides who are unapologetically themselves, looking so breath-taking.⁠
⁠
I`ll be sharing a sneak peek of the most recent version soon. I can`t wait to show you the photos from that wedding too 🏰🕸️🖤⁠
⁠
If this Morticia-inspired wedding dress is calling your name, you can find it on my Etsy (link in the bio)🦇⁠

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! 🙌🏻

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 🖤
