I also had a period-inspired, unusually coloured wedding dress for my wedding.⁠ Alex wanted to meld 1950’s and Tudor influences to create something unique.

"Say yes to heaven, say yes to me" 🤍

This wedding dress is so heart-achingly romantic. The layers upon layers of fluffy tulle, the white roses encircled by trailing lace and those deep, vibrant colours. 

Bold. Beautiful. Completely unique and completely bespoke. Perfect for an alternative bride looking for couture colour.

Manifesting... 💞

This is what happened back in November at the South East Regional award ceremony for The Wedding Industry Awards.  I won best in my category for "best wedding dressmaker".

🤞🤞🤞 And I'm just hoping it happens again on Wednesday night when I'm in Liverpool for the National ceremony!

But either way I'm a winner already both in the south east and every time I see a bride's smile in her finished bespoke dress. 🥰🥰🥰
