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 âPhoenixâ colour-way. Itâs one of the most popular choices...
Danielle wanted a pretty and elegant dress with applique lace and subtle sequin sparkles on a nude base. We were aiming for something lightweight, feminine and figure-hugging. So I designed a dress that was a little soft romantic, a little boho and a little sexy, accentuating Danielleâs hourglass figure. This bespoke nude lace wedding dress...
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 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...

Aliceâs beautiful diamante belt wedding dress was made in layers of white chiffon with hand beaded detailing. I made Aliceâs dress with a fitted and boned bodice.

Rikki commissioned a simple, modern chantilly lace wedding dress. Her dress had a sweetheart bodice with lace overlay and lowback complimented by layered silk georgette for the full skirt and train. I made the dress with a lightly boned bodice in a classic sweetheart neckline that then swept low at the back. The whole bodice...
Cristina commissioned a blush chiffon wedding dress. I made her dress in palest pink silk georgette over satin linings. The chiffons layers were draped to flatter her tiny waist and full bust.

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!

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
