I created a bespoke wedding dress Berkshire for Julia’s in a grand stately home. So her dress needed to compliment this and her figure. I designed this elegant dress made in gold silk duchess satin and rose gold lace.

A contemporary fusion of 1930’s and Victorian fantasy elements went into the design of Katherine’s wedding dress.

The bustle was made of silk chiffon in five subtle...
Creating a purple silk wedding coat and a burlesque wedding dress for this fabulous shoot showcases everything I love most about my job. From time to time I collaborate with other wedding professionals on styled wedding photoshoots. This one took place in August 2016 in London with the theme ‘City Burlesque’. Our locations including the...

Lou commissioned a simple informal midi wedding dress in a Kimono style. I chose soft sand-coloured silk satin to create this design.

Old gold and blue silk I made custom bowties and a cummerbund for the groomsmen. Irene had her Mother of the bride dress and coat made by me. Then she commissioned accessories made in matching fabrics for her husband and various members of the bridal party I made the bow-ties in different fabrics for each...
The dress needed to have a vintage, showgirl feel and be really sexy but still realistic as a bridal dress, not many people actually get married in a leotard and feathers! The wiggle skirt with a boned bodice hit all these marks showing off our lovely model, Vanessa?s curves and cinching her waist. I added a teal net petticoat that would show when the high/low hem moved and delicate gold lace detail with Swarovski crystals for showgirl glamour!

⭐️The Celeste Dress🌙
Layers of silver satin, sequins and flowing soft tulle, falling in gentle pleats,
Timeless and modern, taking inspiration from the art deco aesthetic,
A daring plunge neckline and low, sweeping back,
Adorned with a dramatic necklace of diamante, pearls and Swarovski crystals.
The Celeste dress is for a bride who embodies both elegance and indulgence. Curved lines, light fabric and light-catching beads will transform you into a moonbeam, glimmering during the day and all through the night.

Just leaving this here...
It`s a passage from a book of interviews with Germans who lived through World War II.
I often describe what I do as Dress Alchemy. But have you ever wondered what I mean when I say that? You might even be a dress alchemist yourself...

This is Nicky, the beautiful bride (and all round beautiful person), who nominated me for the Wedding Industry Awards 🩵✨️ here`s what she said about my work:
"Utterly amazing, Felicity brought to life a bespoke wedding dress for me this year based around words in our first dance song! A true, creative professional with such fine attention to detail, her dresses are glorious, unique works of art."
Such lovely lovely words 🥲
I loved designing and making this sparkly blue wedding dress. And I`m glad she made use of the removable sleeves (they`re fast becoming a favourite design element of mine).
As she mentioned above, Nicky`s dress was designed around the lyrics of a song. Can you guess which one?
(have a look at the previous post to find out if you`re right)

"When I first met you, you looked a lot like Billie Holiday, that blue backless dress, the one with the sequins and the single white gardenia."
Some brides give me mood boards for their wedding dress inspiration. And some brides give me the lyrics to the extended (8 minute!) version of Torch by Soft Cell.
