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 is one of my favourite bridal creations 💚⁠
⁠
When talking to Janet about her bespoke wedding dress ideas, I was so excited when she told me she wanted a gown in gorgeous, emerald green 🌳🦚⁠
⁠
I love working with colour, and non-traditional colours don`t have to mean a non-traditional look. ⁠Janet looks so elegant and regal in this simple, floor length wedding dress. ⁠
⁠
The layers of silk and chiffon meant the dress floated when she walked, and pooled around her in gorgeous puddles of forest green satin when she sat. And the simple shape meant we could put all our attention into the feature neckline with a beautiful, glittering, hand-beaded collar.⁠
⁠
If you want to see more photos from this wedding, I have a blog about it (link in bio) 💚⁠

"Felicity worked her magic on my pre-loved Vinted wedding dress and transformed it into something completely bespoke and truly beautiful. Her vision and creativity were incredible, and she immediately saw the potential in the dress and knew exactly how to make it feel like me.⁠
⁠
I felt both incredibly comfortable and glamorous on my wedding day, which was exactly what I had hoped for. Felicity was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process, making everything feel exciting and enjoyable.⁠
⁠
Her shop is absolutely lovely, and her creativity is genuinely inspiring. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!"⁠
⁠
Thank you, Lisa 💜 it was my pleasure to make your wedding dress feel like it was made jut for you.⁠

Honouring your own heritage, whilst welcoming in the culture of your beloved. That`s the key to a cultural fusion bridal look.⁠
⁠
Vidushi wanted a wedding dress that felt like both halves of her story - her Indian roots, and the culture of the country she calls home.⁠
⁠
Reimagining and weaving together a western-style ivory wedding dress with three highly embellished sari sets, Vidushi walked down the aisle looking beautiful and completely one-of-a-kind.⁠
⁠
Her wedding look features an A-line silhouette, a richly embellished corseted bodice, and a striking red veil - a bold final note of colour against the ivory.⁠
⁠

I have always loved working on cultural fusion wedding dresses, and I have been very lucky that many brides trust me with this process.

For Vidushi`s bespoke wedding dress, we worked to combine her Indian heritage with her husband`s Polish culture. She sourced the base dress and three beautiful red saris, and we began the process of discovering the kind of fusion she was looking for.

The final result is the perfect blend of east and west ❤️

Forget the traditional Mother of the Bride look - Phaedra wanted something with a bit more whimsy, and a lot more fun.⁠
⁠
I designed and made her this elegant 1930s-inspired ensemble and I`m obsessed with how good she looks in it!⁠
⁠
We started with a jumpsuit, with a round neckline and quirky, off-centre Peter Pan collar. I love the balloon sleeves, custom covered buttons (ooh, that burnt orange is so delicious) and the floaty wide-legged trousers.⁠ All in a vibrant floral patterned silk.⁠
⁠
On top of that, we added a stylish short coat in that gorgeous rust colour again. A statement collar framed Phaedra`s face, and the coat closed with Oriental-style frog closures. Following the fun asymmetry throughout the outfit, the bottom edge of the coat had two handkerchief points, one longer than the other.⁠
⁠
Doesn`t she look so chic? A reminder that petite frames can absolutely carry a statement outfit.⁠
⁠

Four years ago, I opened my bridal shop after working from home for the past 16 years. It was a huge decision and I had so many thoughts, so many pros and cons, and so many fears going round and round.

Here are just three of the doubts I had about buying the shop:

1. The Commute
You know how sometimes the idea of something just feels bad, and then it turns out the reality of it is fine? That.
I worried about how long it would take, about traffic, about wasting time.

But the shop is just an 18-minute drive and I don`t notice the time pass. I even cycle there occasionally, which is good for both my body and my mind. And it is so worth it for the separation between home life and work life. I can let my creativity lead me, instead of the distractions of a busy house.

2. Premise Costs
My dad once told me, “The only person who makes money from small retail is the landlord", and I worried all my income would disappear into rent. But I was in the very privileged position to be able to buy my shop. This means the shop is an investment, as well as a workshop and a welcoming space for my brides.

3. Self-Doubt
The loudest voice, with constant thoughts about whether the shop would be good enough, would anyone come in and would anyone like my work.
But they do. Brides who see the dresses in the window, then visit the shop and often choose to work with me.

I am so grateful to my past self, and everyone who supported me in taking the leap. All the doubt was really worth it.

Here’s to another four years, and hopefully many more 🤍
