Purple wedding dress ideas

Tags:
vneck wedding dress full skirt cadbury purple silk

I have lots of purple wedding dress ideas to share with you. I made all these dresses from scratch, each is a bespoke wedding dress made for a real bride or for a photoshoot model.

Purple wedding dresses evoke a wide range of ideas, from royal grandeur to alternative anti-fashion. Paler lilacs and mauves seem spring-like and floral. Famous purple wedding dresses include the Vivienne Westwood design for Dita Von Teese and Victoria Beckham’s reception dress.

If you are looking to have a pruple wedding dress made please come and share your ideas with me. At a bespoke consultation we talk through what you want made, look at fabric options and draw up sketches and a quote.

If there`s one thing a bride has to do when starting their bespoke journey...it`s trust the process.

Your wedding dress will go through so many stages before it`s the dress you dreamed of. There will be fittings where you try on the dress and you think "this isn`t what I imagined" - and that`s totally fine!

I would encourage you to always speak your doubts to me, there in the room. Or, message me afterwards if that makes you more comfortable. My job is to create the perfect wedding dress for you, and I can only do that if you tell me what you`re thinking and feeling.

Sometimes it will mean dramatically changing the design.
Sometimes it means a subtle adjustment here and there.
Or sometimes it`s just offering reassurance that this is just part of the journey.

Whatever it is, we`re on this ride together.

You wouldn`t be able to recognise Caitlin`s butter yellow wedding dress from her first toile to her final fitting. And she looked even more stunning on the day. Follow along - I`ll be posting her wedding photos soon!

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.⁠
