Kate needed a bespoke wedding dress for her wedding in Horsham. She commissioned a soft floaty gown in ivory silk satin and silk georgette with touches of Nottingham lace. I made her dress with a simple bias-cut skirt in satin with the georgette as an overlay. Above the high waistline the bodice I designed a...
Just before lockdowns began in 2020 I created an Indian Fusion wedding dress for a photoshoot with a London team of suppliers. We wanted to create inspiration for the many mixed culture weddings being planned in the UK. I showcased my fusion wedding dress design skills with an ensemble of ivory silk top, skirt and...
Danielle needed my help as a wedding dress designer near London to create her a custom long sleeve bodice that would fit perfectly over her wedding dress. Danielleâs wedding dress was beautiful even just âoff the pegâ but it needed a little something extra to create a bit of drama on her wedding day. Working...
Neli and Neiko asked me for a dress for their rustic, Italian styled photoshoot. This silver wedding dress was designed with country weddings in mind. I used boho, elegant styling with a modern vintage vibe in mind when I designed in the dress. Silver Wedding Dress Design I made the dress from delicate antique silver,...
Jannaâs relaxed wedding dress was made to compliment her (mostly) vegan celebration that took place in a Devon on a perfect summer day. I made her a dress in layered pale pink tulle, delicate chantilly lace and vintage silk satin jacquard. The design was as relaxed and summery as the day Janna had planned. Wedding...
Some people think wedding dresses are timeless and donât change as fast as other fashion, but this is not true at all. In all fashion cycles you get the fashion-forward styles, that are breaking new ground and bucking current convention.
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...

Stunning illusion back wedding dress for dark skin in winter white duchess satin and bold guipure lace.

I created a blush illusion back wedding dress in palest blush satin with ivory organza and tulle layered on top. This commission was lots of fun as the bride is a designer herself and really only wanted me for the labour, all the design was her own! Alexandra also did all the lace and beading...

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!
Can you get more gothic than that??
This was from our final fitting together. Follow along to see just how drop dead gorgeous Mollie looked on the day đŚ

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
