Sophie and I worked to restyle her Grandmother’s vintage wedding dress into a relaxed maternity wedding dress for a modern boho bride. The original vintage wedding dress Sophie’s wedding dress story is too perfect for words. At her first consultation she brought me the top of her Grandmother’s wedding suit. An exquisite creation in quite...

I designed the Celeste wedding dress to feel dreamy, like a goddess in disguise in the 1930s ✨ The sparkling underdress is perfect for an evening party while the flowing overdress transforms the look for a more ethereal vibe.
Made from pale ivory soft tulle that cascades in two layers from the shoulders, nipped in at the waist by a grosgrain ribbon belt. The back is probably one of my favourite features: a decadent layered necklace glistening with jewels.
If you`re looking for a wedding dress, designed for you and inspired by an art movement, or a period of history, or anything else, then get in touch 💜

⭐️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.
