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

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.

To me, a bride who choses a colourful wedding dress is the kind of person that brightens up a room when they walk into it. They're the kind of person where people around them can't help but smile. And what better way of embodying that than by bringing more colour into your special day?

I don't know about you, but as a seamstress (and generally visual person) I'm big on colour. Just seeing the perfect shade of buttercup yellow, or soothing lavender can lift my spirits and make my day. And if colour can affect mood, then why not set the mood with beautiful, vibrant hues?

I loved adding bold yellows, oranges, reds and purples to bride Megan's pre-bought wedding dress. If you want to see how Megan looked on her wedding day, have a peek at this week's earlier post.

If you're interested in getting your dress dip dyed, or adding a dip dyed overskirt to your wedding outfit, check out my Etsy. You can choose up to 5 colours, in any combination that you can imagine.
Today I wanted to share something that happened in my life, and resisting becoming just another keyboard warrior.

Maybe my story will help you raise your voice too.

I'd love to hear any stories like this that you have. So, if you feel like sharing, please do!
Every step I take towards making a wedding dress holds years of trial and error, practise and learning.

Every time I finish a dress, I advance my skills and further my knowledge. 

Sometimes the experience of improving doesn't feel good. It feels frustrating! But whenever I look back on the experience of making a dress, I can identify the things I've learnt and the tiny changes to my process which elevate my dressmaking.
