For this bespoke Chinese fusion wedding dress photoshoot, I created a look that incorporated both Western and Eastern elements in beautiful harmony. I was contacted by Elizabeth Weddings about being involved in this shoot. And since I really enjoy working on cultural fusion projects, it was an obvious yes. Our overall colour palette was white,...
If youâre in search for some mixed Indian British wedding dress inspiration, then youâve come to the right blog post. Iâm Fliss â a bespoke wedding dress maker from the south of England (Surrey, to be exact). I love making wedding dresses that are a little unusual. My brides are often looking for an outfit...

I often get asked by brides whether I have examples of the different kinds of dip dye colourways I offer. And other than the strip samples, the answer is usually `no`, since I send whatever I make pretty soon after finishing them. So, I recently bought a few wedding dresses to dip dye and use as samples in the shop.â
â
The question is...which colours do I use?â
â
I`ve got three dresses, and with this first one I want to choose one of my more popular colour combinations. So, I need you to tell me, which would you want to see if you came to my shop?â
â
1. đŠľđđThe `Peacock` colourway đŠľđđâ
starting with light turquoise, through sky blue, royal blue and ending on purple.â
â
2. đđ§Ąâ¤ď¸đThe `Phoenix` colourwayđđ§Ąâ¤ď¸đ â
sunflower yellow, through bright orange, red and also ending in purple.â
â
3. đŠˇđ Pink & Purple colourways đŠˇđ â
this is bit more free form, but these kinds of choices are also really popular. So if this category is your favourite, which shades do you prefer? The pastels; lilacs, lavenders and baby pinks? Or something more vibrant; cerise, fuchsia and peach?â
â
Let me know in the comments!â

I`ve posted about all these dresses before, so have a scroll back if you want to photographer credits etcâ

Isn`t this the perfect wedding dress for a colourful festival wedding?
Bright, fun and beautiful to look at. It`s the kind of dress you can`t take your eyes off of.
As a wedding dress maker who loves working on alternative and unusual wedding looks, creating unique ombre dip dye dresses is one of my favourite things to do. I`m so glad this bride had such an amazing time dancing in it đĽ°

"Felicity, you made my dreams come true. No one expected such a show stopper of a dress. It was the centrepiece to our festival wedding colour palette. More compliments than I can cope with and they`re still pouring in!"â

Jennifer is such a gorgeous and vibrant person, it was such a treat to elevate her wedding dress to match her outdoor festival wedding in Stockport. Jennifer chose a variation of my phoenix dip dye colourway, using yellow, orange, red, pink and purple, with a final hint of royal blue. There`s a reason this combination is so popular among brides - it`s stunning!â

And I don`t think she could have chosen more perfect shoes if she`d triedâ

I designed the Celeste wedding dress to feel dreamy, like a goddess in disguise in the 1930s ⨠The sparkling underdress is perfect for an evening party while the flowing overdress transforms the look for a more ethereal vibe.
Made from pale ivory soft tulle that cascades in two layers from the shoulders, nipped in at the waist by a grosgrain ribbon belt.â The back is probably one of my favourite features: a decadent layered necklace glistening with jewels.

âď¸The Celeste Dressđâ
â
Layers of silver satin, sequins and flowing soft tulle, falling in gentle pleats,â
Timeless and modern, taking inspiration from the art deco aesthetic,â
A daring plunge neckline and low, sweeping back,â
Adorned with a dramatic necklace of diamante, pearls and Swarovski crystals.â
â
The Celeste dress is for a bride who embodies both elegance and indulgence. Curved lines, light fabric and light-catching beads will transform you into a moonbeam, glimmering during the day and all through the night.â
