Something Blue- Wedding Dress Inspiration for brides who love Blue.

Tags: Blue

rustic folk artisan embroidered silk belt cuffs wedding outfit

I like to help brides think about their blue wedding dress inspiration. I have made bespoke wedding dresses in all shades of blue from palest baby blue, sky, Royal blue, turquoise, teal and navy. A blue wedding dress is feminine and elegant without being saccharine. And of course wedding traditions makes it a high favourite after traditional white with the classic saying which includes ‘something blue’.

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 🤍

This year it has been 20 years since I first started out as a professional bridal dressmaker, and four years since I opened up my bridal shop on Dorking high street. ⁠
⁠
So many people have crossed my threshold since then; brides, mother-of-the-brides, bridesmaids, artists, friends and more.⁠
⁠
I wanted to pick four dresses that each represent something different about my journey since then:⁠
⁠
2022 - Laura was the very first bride to have her fittings in the shop, when things were still chaotic and new. She was kind and patient with me, and she represents the real and amazing benefit of having my own space in which to create and collaborate with brides.⁠
⁠
2023 - Rachel and I were strangers when we met, but we really connected over our joint love of period fashion, both basking in each other`s historical knowledge. She represents the joy of meeting people you would never usually have the chance to, and finding connection along the way.⁠
⁠
2024 - I adored designing a wedding dress for Nicola that showed off her body really beautifully. This process challenged me to apply my usual dip dye methods to a style of dress I wasn`t used to. Nicola represents the constant learning I continue to experience.⁠
⁠
2025 - Rebecca`s imagination was a joy to behold, and the result is a pastel rainbow wedding dress straight from a fantasy novel. Rebecca represents the beautiful minds of my brides, who I get to welcome into my own creative space.⁠
⁠
Of course, these are just a selection, and as I was choosing I felt pangs of guilt for all the other wonderful brides I`ve worked with who I haven`t mentioned. If I could have included all of you, I would have!⁠
⁠
2026 already has so many wedding dresses that I love, with so many more to come!⁠
⁠
Has anyone else gone through major life changes in the last four years?⁠
