For this Marie Antoinette wedding dress photoshoot, we took inspiration from the aesthetic of Bridgeton. I think we ended up with something slightly different, but equally wonderful, donât you think? Our colour scheme was pastels; blush, pinks, coral, creamy ivory and hints of baby blue and gold. We wanted to evoke something romantic and ethereal...
I made the Phoenix dipdye wedding dress for a photoshoot. I designed a frosty sheer silver lace dress and a rose gold flowergirl dress as well for the same shoot. You can see more pictures from the entire shoot here. The autumn colour wedding dress was a pet project Iâd been keen to try for...
I love colour and making ombre wedding dresses for UK brides is one of my favourite types of commission. The first dipdye effect dress I created was for a photoshoot in 2016. Images of that dress went viral but it still took a few years before people began asking me to recreate the effect for...
Lisa wanted an elegant Santorini blue dipdye wedding dress, with hints of Grecian style for her destination wedding in Greece. After a lot of trial and error, I managed to create what I think is the most perfect, vibrant sky blue. I love how this dress turned out, from the peek-a-boo shoulders, to the floaty...
For this forest wildflower wedding dress, I wanted to take inspiration from nature. Especially since the ceremony for this shoot took place outdoors, it felt right to try and incorporate those elements into the dress. This is the kind of look for a bride who loves meadow flowers, like cornflowers and poppies. For a bride...

Nicola wanted a simple and elegant dress made in pale ivory, with a dip dye skirt for her wedding by the dramatic Cornish coast. As a result, I created this fabulous sunset dipdye wedding dress for her. Photography â Thomas Frost Nicola sent me a lovely note after her wedding: âI cannot begin to put...
I get asked this question so often I thought it was time to write a few blogs to answer it properly; âCan my wedding dress be dyed another colour?â. The simple answer is Yes, but with risk and difficulty. If I explain the different processes below you can make an informed choice whether or not...
If knowing whether or not you can dye your wedding dress black (or any other colour) is a deciding factor please see my advice. Unfortunately dyeing an already made garment is very difficult. Itâs not impossible but it is very risky and the chance of a âperfectâ result is low. I cover ways things can...
I do not offer a wedding dress dyeing service in the uk or anywhere! I do have extensive knowledge of the dye process and as I often get asked if I can dye wedding dresses I have written a series of blog posts to help people decide about dyeing their gowns. Please see these other...

I can`t wait to show you the photos from this wedding đ Mollie ordered a version of my black Morticia wedding dress and then proceeded to get married in Transylvania!
Can you get more gothic than that??
This was from our final fitting together. Follow along to see just how drop dead gorgeous Mollie looked on the day đŚ

These photos from Stevie never cease to make my jaw drop. They`re like a gorgeous combination of Morticia Adams, Vampira and the iconic Bride of Frankenstein.â
â
Stevie saw the original Morticia dress I`d made for a styled wedding shoot and wanted one of their own, with a few adjustments to make it completely unique to them.â
â
I`ve made four of the Morticia wedding dress now, following the first photoshoot version, and each time it`s such a thrill to see brides who are unapologetically themselves, looking so breath-taking.â
â
I`ll be sharing a sneak peek of the most recent version soon. I can`t wait to show you the photos from that wedding too đ°đ¸ď¸đ¤â
â
If this Morticia-inspired wedding dress is calling your name, you can find it on my Etsy (link in the bio)đŚâ

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! đđť
"I am so grateful for your contribution to my dress. Everybody loved it."â

This custom dip dye overskirt was the perfect pop of colour for Tanja`s wedding dress. â And with autumn well and truly here, I wanted to celebrate those beautiful colours.â
â
Her floor length skirt included:â
đa graduated hi-low hem to match the dress underneathâ
đ§Ątwo layers of soft tulleâ
đŠˇhand dyed with four vibrant colours; yellow, orange, red and burgundyâ
â¤ď¸snaps along the waist for easy attachment and removal to the wedding dressâ
â
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.â

l`ve always wanted to see inside this chapel, ever since I was a child. So getting to be on set for this gothic romance wedding shoot and seeing my dress amongst the old stonework was a dream come true đ¤

If you`re a Halloween girly, then this achingly romantic, yet slightly spooky wedding dress is meant for you.â
â
Asylum Chapel is a venue that`s been haunting me for the past 25 years. So when I finally had the opportunity to create a wedding dress that would fit perfectly in the crumbling stone chapel, I knew I had to make something that felt both ethereal and gothic. Like a vintage romance novel, where the lovers are doomed in some desperately heart-aching way.â
â
There`s something to be said about doing a gothic Halloween wedding in white. A black wedding dress is stunning, but there`s something really exciting about turning that back on its head and going for white instead, whilst still embodying that alt vibe.â
â
Who (fictional or otherwise) can you imagine wearing this wedding dress?â
