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.

For this Northern lights ombre colour wedding dress, Sofz commissioned me to dip dye her dress. She wanted it to match the beautiful sunsets in Lapland, which was the main inspiration she sent me. We went for my ever-popular Phoenix colourway. The colours start from pale yellow, to bright buttercup, tangerine orange, blending into red,...
The inspiration for this bespoke regency Bridgerton wedding dress was Daphneโs debutante gown during her presentation to Queen Charlotte in Series 1 of the show.โ Although Season 1 Daphneโs colours are blue, in Series 2 she wears a lot more pink. I decided I wanted to work with some beautiful, deep pink satin, so that...
I made a bespoke ballerina length wedding dress for my lovely bride, Amy. Amy had a very specific brief for her wedding day, she wanted to feel like a Russian ballerina. So I designed a dress with ankle length layers in lightweight tulle. This style was popular in the 1950โs, it has elegant vintage style...
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.

Emma came to me wanting a dress that would look perfect framed by the rolling hills of Tuscany, at the gorgeous Borgo Corsignano, in Italy. She was looking for an elegant, bespoke wedding dress with a long, dramatic lace train and a plunging low back. Something figure-hugging, elegant and opulent. The dress I designed for...
I created two bespoke wedding dresses in Brighton for this fun, campy, Cabaret photoshoot.

This bespoke wedding dress photoshoot in Kent absolutely bursts with colour, style and fun! Inspired by the 1950s and the quirky Rockabilly style, we went big with our bold accent colours of fuchsia pink and navy blue, the whole shoot was full of retro elegance and mid-century charm.

"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

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.
