Welcome to my page of green wedding dress ideas. Every single one of these dresses is one I have made from scratch in my bespoke wedding dress studio here in Surrey, UK. I actually got married myself in a green wedding dress, so I thoroughly approve of this choice from any bride who enquires with...
I was nominated for the wedding industry awards 2026 in two categories. And I won for my region in one of them! And yes, I made and wore bespoke dresses to both ceremonies, see below for more pictures!

For real bride, Rae, I created this gorgeous green wedding dress coat to fit over her other wedding dress. That way she had a more dramatic look for her ceremony, and then a lighter option during the reception. I made the dress coat in a stunning shot silk dupion that colour shifted from green to...
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...
Photography – Andrew Brannan Real bride, Janet, had been following me on Instagram for a few years before she got in touch. When we had our first Zoom meeting, she said she had been waiting for the perfect moment to be able to have a dress designed and made by me. I think a wedding...
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...

This styled wedding shoot in Upthorpe Wood is such a feast for the eyes. Featuring so many gorgeous colours and...
Rebecca wanted a Victorian-inspired wedding dress made in deep forest green and ivory silk dupion. We prioritised historical accuracy with this gown, from the custom-made corset underneath, to the embroidered bustle, all the way down to the layers of knife pleats around the skirt.

Katrina came to me looking for a wedding dress fit for the English Summer. She wanted a beautiful hand painted wedding dress with flowers in a mix of colours (but not pink). We designed the perfect canvas, a bespoke wedding dress in layered white taffeta and silk organza. We started with a base of some...
I made a green and gold waterfall train wedding dress for my own wedding day in 2007. Having worked so much in ivory and white I decided to be bright and colourful. And anyway I don’t think white or ivory suits my very pale skin well at all! I made my dress with a boned...

"I truly cannot say enough AMAZING things about Felicity and the magical dyed overskirt she made for me! My overskirt is sincerely beyond all expectations and even more." - Ginny, the bride 💕
Ginny wanted colour, and I was more than happy to oblige! Almost a full rainbow (just missing a bit of green), the vibrancy of this dip dye overskirt makes me so happy. This has got to be the bridal version of dopamine dress, right?
Ginny also chose to start the blend higher up than most brides, meaning there`s even more colour than my usual dip dye wedding dresses.
Keep scrolling to see what the skirt looked like on the day ✨️
I can`t wait to see what gorgeous colour combinations my gorgeous brides bring to me this year! What combination would you choose?
Sometimes I get so carried away with making a bespoke wedding dress I completely forget to record the process for you lovely lot! Filming content is fun, but it doesn`t compare to getting lost in the process of a creating.
My Morticia-inspired wedding dress is one of my most popular designs, and I can see why. Sparkly, sexy, figure-hugging, dramatic. Have a look at my previous post to see the *stunning* photos of this one on its bride, especially if you`ve got a gothic wedding in mind.

Let`s all take a moment from our day to marvel at how gorgeous Sophia was in her sparkling black wedding dress. She`s channelling Morticia Addams` dark sensuality so effortlessly. With her husband Colin, providing the perfect Gomez.
Elegant, ethereal and deliciously gothic.
If you want a wedding dress that`s as black as your soul, send me a bat (or a DM, up to you)🦇

I love it when a bride runs, not walks, to my shop, ready for their bespoke journey to begin!
Brides who want unconventional, whilst also looking for a wedding dress that`s elegantly couture, always manage to find me.
No idea too unusual or dramatic. No design too ambitious. Bring on the whimsy!

As well as doing extensive alteration to Bryony`s vintage wedding dress, she also asked me to make her a custom veil in a cowl-back or cascade style (pinned on both sides of the head).
The wonderful thing about getting a bespoke veil is that it can be designed specifically to compliment your dress, your style and your story.
I think this veil is the perfect choice to add even more Hollywood glamour to Bryony`s vintage wedding look.

It`s such a lovely feeling when I get to help make a friend`s wedding day all the more special. Bryony and I met through our local theatre, so I was delighted when she asked me to alter her vintage wedding dress.
Bryony sourced her wedding dress second hand from @bridesdressrevisited - sustainability is really important to her, so she was never going to buy it brand new. But it`s very rare for an off-the-rail dress to be the perfect fit, especially if it`s lived a longer life than most other wedding dresses.
As you can see from the early fitting photos, the dress didn`t fit Bryony`s slender frame, and the design of the back and the straps looked a little dated. So my job was to keep, but elevate, the old-time Hollywood style.
The dress underwent quite a lot of work. Firstly I had to take it in substantially to fit Bryony`s waist. Then I worked on the straps; reangling them to make them more off-shoulder, and taking the lining out, to make them less bulky and more sheer. At the back I lowered the neckline and sewed the original covered buttons back on. There were also a few smaller tasks, like fixing the zip and mending a ripped hem.
The final result is gorgeous! You would never have known the journey Bryony`s bridal look had gone through - it just looks like a dress made specifically for her.
If you`ve found your dream wedding dress, but it needs a little adjustment here or there (or a more dramatic change), drop me a DM 💜
