Brianna commissioned a stunning autumn dip dye wedding dress for her Idaho wedding. It is copy of my best selling โPhoenix Dip Dyeโ wedding dress, with unique matcing accessories I made just for her. Brianna asked for a dip dye veil to echo the colours on the dress and gloves with lace detail. I first...
Dearest Gentle Reader,โ It has come to this authorโs attention that a passionate affair took place at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, that would make even the most confident of rakes blush. Rest assured, a few were in attendance to what was a wonderful day, full of vibrancy, talent and exquisite work.โ Here are a few...
Iโm very lucky that I attract the kind of brides who often want something that varies wildly from the traditional long white gown. So, when I met Maggie (virtually) and she told me that she was getting married in the summer and wanted something fun and bright, I was very excited! So I designed for...
I created an elopement wedding dress for this stunning mature bride, made in pale peachy pink silk satin with incredible beaded and applique tulle overlay. Silk chiffon flowers with bold colour print, pearls and glass beads fade from neckline to hem.โ The shape was simple and flattering, a column dress with round neckline, cap sleeves...
For this bespoke wedding dress photoshoot in Hampshire, we wanted to evoke the feeling of a fairy tale. Of a princess being whisked away by her prince, of magic, whimsy and romance. The colours we wanted to focus on were blush pink, various shades of green and deep burgundy. All inspired by the colours found...
My spouse and I booked a non-binary wedding couple photoshoot for our 14th wedding anniversary celebration. We were married in 2007 we had many happy years together as husband and wife. But in 2021 my spouse realised they were non-binary/trans. The person I had married as a man discovered their female inner self during Covid...
I designed this custom wedding dress, made in Surrey, for a spring wedding photoshoot. Along with the chic bridal separates. The shoot took place at Somersbury Barn, a beautiful oak framed barn nestled in the idyllic Surrey countryside. This gorgeous venue, complete with a stunning Victorian glasshouse was the initial inspiration for our shoot planner...
This was the first styled shoot I ever organised โ but certainly not the last. I live on the border between Sussex and Surrey and as a wedding dress designer, it only made sense that I gathered together some local wedding suppliers, chose a stunning location, made some dresses and had some fun! Hence this...
โ For her wedding day, Katie wanted a feminine and floaty dress in layers of tulle and floral lace. And what a dress it turned out to be!โ Itโs such a romantic wedding look, fit for a fantasy princess.โ The dress was made from layered silk dupion (one of my favourite fabrics to work with), rose pink...

"Dear Felicity,โ
โ
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how wonderful my dress was last weekend.โ
โ
I honestly cannot thank you enough, I felt so special in it and everyone said how amazing it was.โ
โ
You are so talented and you completely brought all my dreams to life.โ
โ
Thank you so much. Mum also loved hers and looked amazing - we were saying how we canโt wait to come back to you for something else.โ
โ
Lots of love, Meg"โ
โ
Thank you to both Meg and Lisa for trusting me with making their outfits for this wonderful day. โ
โ
Not only did I create Meg`s beautiful floaty wedding dress, but I also made a silk ensemble in shades of Green for the mother of the bride, Lisa ๐ธ๐ฟโ
โ
I`m looking forward to seeing what else I make for them in the future!โ

Soft, light chiffon layered over delicate peach silk.โ
Gently gathered skirt and sleeves, finished with ribbons.โ
Scrolling lace climbing up the corseted bodice.โ

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.โ
โ
Can you guess what Megโs inspiration for this design were?โ

A little bit of this and a little bit of that lead to a whole lot of magic โจ
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 ๐๏ธ)
All these brides have something in common...can you guess what it is?โ
โ
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.โ
โ
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.โ
โ
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.โ
โ
Are you celebrating a milestone anniversary this year?
An upcycled 80s wedding dress?โ
Dyed pink?โ
And a Whistable wedding day with Buzz Balls and oysters on the beach?โ
โ
Francesca is living proof that you can use your free will however you choose. ๐๐ป๐

โ
And shout out to the amazing outfit she made for her maid of honour. That deep pink bodice and skirt ensemble is gorgeous!โ
โ
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!โ

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.
