Bow-tie’s and Cummerbund for Irene’s Groomsmen

Irene had her Mother of the bride dress and coat made by Felicity and then commissioned accessories made in matching fabrics for her husband and various members of the bridal party

groomsmen bowties and cummberbund silk and organza sea colours

The bow-ties were made in different fabrics for each member of the bridal party. Irene’s husband had blue/gold silk to match her coat, there were two each in old-gold for the best men two in the bridesmaids’ green silk for the ushers and the groom had pale gold organza to match his bride.

Each bow-tie fastened with a hook on re-sizeable neck-band. The cummerbund was lined in silk and fastened at the back with a secure clip.

With spring finally appearing, it was time to update my bridal shop display window.
(If you`re curious what it was last month, you can look at my previous post...if you`re a fan of dip dye, I think you`ll really like it)

I wanted to create something that was full of verdant texture. I feel really strongly about single use plastics, so I always try to either re-use elements from previous window displays, or gather things from nature. This time I used a floral garland by @muscariwhites and added dried flowers from the hydrangea bush in my garden, as well as ivy, and anything else I found that I thought would look pretty.

For this display, I featured two dresses. Usually it`s three, but when one of them takes up so much space, I had to make sacrifices! I chose the sumptuous pink Evil Queen dress, as well as the lilac dip dye Bridgeton dress. Both of them are historically inspired (the former by Elizabethan fashion and the latter by Regency), but also have fantasy elements to them. Completely my style as a wedding dress designer.

Which dress in this display is your favourite?

Last month`s window display before I change it to something new.

For the display I featured three red wedding dresses:

First is the Elodie dress, made in stunning red silk with a sequin top. I love the bow at the back that extends into a train, as well as the hand-beaded back necklace.

For the middle wedding dress, I took inspiration from Romani gypsy styles, using ivory silk chiffon, accentuated with red floral lace and trimmed with matching coloured ribbons.

And finally, on the right, is the Aurora dress, made in layers of soft blush pink tulle, with gorgeous, floaty balloon sleeves. I think this dip dye combination of deep burgundy, crimson and red is really beautiful.

Do you have a favourite dress out of these three?

All three of these dresses are available, so drop me a DM, or check out my Etsy to find the wedding dress of your dreams 💜

As a wedding dressmaker, one of my favourite things to do is add colour to my designs. Whether making the dress from scratch, or dying an already bought dress, the colours a bride chooses tell me a lot about who they are as a person.

The most common colours I get for dip dye overskirts and wedding dresses are blues. Followed by purples and pinks. I love getting green commissions, although they happen a lot less often.

Tell me if you think your colour choice is true to you?
