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...

Soft, light chiffon layered over delicate peach silk.
Gently gathered skirt and sleeves, finished with ribbons.
Scrolling lace climbing up the corseted bodice.
This dress is so romantic, so relaxed and so pretty. Meg looks like a princess from your favourite historical novel. I can just imagine her gliding across the dancefloor with her beloved, skirts quietly rustling as they twirl together.
Can you guess what Meg’s inspiration for this design were?

A little bit of this and a little bit of that lead to a whole lot of magic ✨
Want to see how the dress looked on the day? I`ll be posting it later this week (and it`s all your soft focus, dreamy Kate Bush vibes 🕊️)
All these brides have something in common...can you guess what it is?
All of them will be celebrating their 10 year anniversaries this year, since it was 10 years ago that I altered each of their dresses.
In 2016, I was still working from my own home - having a shop wasn`t even a twinkle in my eye. I had two children under four, so I was managing a family alongside work, and creating a lot less as a result. But each dress still got as much time, care and obsessive attention as they do now.
So thank you to Jade, Gemma, Nseko, Inese, Alex, Michaela and Tamsin, and all the other brides who trusted me 10 years ago. And thank you to all the brides who continue to trust me now.
Are you celebrating a milestone anniversary this year?
An upcycled 80s wedding dress?
Dyed pink?
And a Whistable wedding day with Buzz Balls and oysters on the beach?
Francesca is living proof that you can use your free will however you choose. 💃🏻💅🍸️💖
And shout out to the amazing outfit she made for her maid of honour. That deep pink bodice and skirt ensemble is gorgeous!
If you want to inject some fun into a vintage wedding outfit for your big day, drop me a DM. As you can see, the possibilities are endless!

Especially if it`s the bride`s mother`s wedding dress from the 80s, hand dyed to the perfect shade of warm pink, and restyled to evoke the iconic Vivienne Westwood.
There`s definitely a lot of happiness in that.

An ivory gown brought to me and transformed into an ethereal wedding dress.
Amongst the atmospheric woodlands, dramatic ruins and beautiful gardens of @ravenswoodvenue, Victoria looks every bit an elven queen, resplendent in purples and blacks.
Finished off with a @starandleafveil cherry blossom veil - a nod to Victoria`s love of Japanese culture, and where she went on her honeymoon.
Dreaming of a gown as atmospheric as your venue? Let`s create yours.
