for my second prize for the Wed4Pal fundraiser, I`m giving you the chance to win a Dip-Dye Package in a raffle, meaning you could win either a Bridal dip dye package OR custom dip dye overskirt for as little as £45! This is just one way in which my business is taking a stand against genocide, apartheid and injustice.
The package will include either:
a. adding dip dye-style colour to the bottom of your wedding dress in 1-5 colours from the hem up to 18" high
or
b. a custom dip dye tulle overskirt made to fit over your wedding dress. Including two layers of tulle, custom cut to fit perfectly over your wedding dress. Up to 5 colours, from hem up to 18" high
100% of ticket sales (minus mandatory transaction fees) will go towards addressing the genocide in Palestine, with 50% going to Pal Humanity (an organisation providing medical aid, education and lifesaving supplies in Northern Gaza) and 50% going to gorgeous Gazan couple, Sama and Khalil, and their families to help them sustain and rebuild their lives.
More of a bargain and far more ethical than any Black Friday deal going, you can now buy tickets for our raffle prize until 14th February. Buy your tickets today and find out on Valentine’s Day if you’ve won!

When you have two bespoke wedding dresses on your sample rail that are perfect for both Elphaba and Glinda, and with Wicked For Good having come out, it felt rude not to!
Wicked has done an amazing job of bringing bright, bold fashion back to our attention, which is so exciting. But I`ve had many Elphaba and Glinda brides way before they came to the big screen. Brides who are up for going on an adventure with me to conjure up their perfect wedding look.
I might not be the Wizard of Oz, but I am the Dress Alchemist after all 😉
(shout out to my social media manager, Elodie, for stepping in and being the Elphaba to my Glinda. If you`re looking for your own magical media witch, you can find them at www.brightbeemedia.co.uk)
The dress on the stand vs. the dress in action✨
I made the Poinsettia dress last Christmas for my window display. I never would have predicted that it would be spotted by Rosie, who then bought it and wore it for the 2025 Miss Great Britain pageant!
My bespoke designs have been used for all sorts of events. Weddings mainly (obviously), but parties, anniversaries and proms too. But this might be the first time one of my gowns has been seen on the stage of a pageant. And doesn`t Rosie look so serenely glamorous? The perfect model for this sparkly, elegant dress. And she placed in the top 10. Well done Rosie!
