I created two bespoke wedding dresses in Brighton for this fun, campy, Cabaret photoshoot. The goal was to create a vibrant celebration of life and love, full of bright colours and bags of personality. There’s no better way to celebrate than with glitter, confetti and a whole lot of fun! I don’t know about...
The first step for this custom sunset ombre wedding dress was designing and making a simple, elegant wedding dress in pale ivory duchess satin and tulle. Then came the fun part; dip-dying it in a gradient of beautifully vibrant colours. I call this particular combination my ‘Phoenix’ colour-way. It’s one of the most popular choices...

Someone commented how much like Taylor Swift our beautiful bride @alicia.modelling_x looked wearing one of my bespoke wedding dress, and I think she`s absolutely right.
Which Taylor Swift album would you pair this wedding dress with?
A little look into my creative process for making my Swan Lake-inspired wedding dress.
I think feathers are a really underrated embellishment, so I wanted to give them their flowers 🪶💐 this corset style bodice features hundreds of hand-sewn white feathers, all meeting to a point in the middle of the chest, finished off with sparkling sequin lace.
Do you think the result was worth the effort?
And if you`re a bride looking for something full of fantasy and whimsy for your wedding, you`ve come to the right place. Making wedding outfits that look like they come from a story book is my speciality, so drop me a DM with your fairytale wedding ideas 🧚♀️

It`s coming up to five years since I first discovered aerial hoop, and my love for it is still going strong 💜
And now, I`m moving onto something even more exciting...
The next step in my journey is starting teacher training with @mybodyrocksstudio, so I can share my passion for hoop and pass on this amazing sport/art form. It`s not something I would have ever considered a possibility when I was first starting, but I`m so excited to get going!
Maybe one day I`ll be showing you the ropes (well, the hoop) 🤭
And thank you to @impulsivemomentspole for making me look like an absolute superstar 😍
Look at all that gorgeous colour!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Here are just a few ombre wedding dresses I`ve dyed over the years, both for photoshoots and real brides. I`ve just launched a new page on my website, dedicated to my dip dye creations.
The amazing thing about dip dying is how completely customisable it is. You can go with loads of bold, bright colours, or just one subtle hue. It`s entirely up to you.
And you`re guaranteed to match your wedding`s colour scheme.
I offer two dip dye services:
- Direct dying, straight onto your wedding dress
- Dipdye tulle overskirts, leaving your dress untouched
To see more examples and options, have a look on my website (link in bio).
Which colour combination is your favourite?

I am *obsessed* with this vintage wedding dress restyle!
Merissa brought her 1990s bridal two-piece ensemble to me, looking for it to be restyled into her dream wedding dress. And we ended up with some so cute, chic and coquettish.
The bodice, with its off-shoulder neckline, didn’t change much, style-wise. We just did a few alterations to make it fit better. The skirt, however, was a different story.
The original skirt was completely deconstructed, and those panels of fabric were used to make a shorter mini skirt, gathered in at the waist and with a pleat detail at the front. Then, with extra, matched fabric, we made a new skirt for the ceremony. In the same style as short skirt, but floor length, with a train and netting underneath, for that perfect 80s/90s silhouette.
Which version do you prefer – full length skirt or miniskirt?
If you want to see how Merissa looked on the day, check out my previous post!

This outfit is such a vibe ✨️ I loved working on this vintage 90s two-piece.
If you want to see the adorable miniskirt I made to go with this wedding outfit, I`ll be posting about that next. Why not follow along for regular dose of whimsical alternative bridal inspiration for 2026?
