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 am a huge fan of wearing a bit of colour for your wedding, so this pale blue cocktail wedding dress hits all the right buttons! The dress has a cute, vintage, 1950’s wiggle dress vibe and suited Isabelle perfectly. Simple and sweet bridal mini-dress with tiered ivory lace skirt. Pale blue silk satin shows...
Richelle wanted a theatrical dress with interchangeable separates for her two part wedding in Scotland. I designed her a pink and silver waterfall skirt wedding dress in organza, silk and lace. Richelle found me by recommendation from a previous bride, the nicest way to know you’ve done a good job! Official photography by linaandtom A...
Some people think wedding dresses are timeless and don’t 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.

Isn`t that ombre so satisfying?
Creating colourful, showstopping bespoke wedding dresses is my absolute favourite thing to do (thank goodness I`ve made a business out of it)!
Bride Jennifer already had her wedding dress picked out, but wanted to elevate it to a whole new level. She went for the phoenix colourway - starting with bright yellow, going through orange, red, pink and purple, until the very end with a final hint of deep, royal blue. It is such a winning combination.
It`s wonderful knowing there are brides out there who love colour as much as I do! And who are trust me to transform their bridal outfit into something truly unique, like this dip dye wedding dress. Alternative brides all the way 💜

Usually when it comes to bridal alterations, the aim of the game is to leave no trace. Your work has to be invisible, so that no one knows that any changes have been made at all.
But with Catherine`s dress, things were a little different...

This is the 2nd look I made for a recent cultural fusion styled wedding shoot.
It`s a variation of my highly popular Evie bridal separates. For this iteration, I made ivory silk trousers and a burgundy top with the traditional Indian latkan ties at the back.
I`ve made my Evie separates quite a few times now: with or without sleeves (sometimes removable, sometimes not), with a skirt, without a skirt etc etc. I think there`s something about the simple, clean lines that really speaks to brides looking for something chic, modern and a little different. Especially this version, with that gorgeous crimson top and embroidered belt to match.
Is this outfit speaking to you? I still have slots for weddings in 2025 and early 2026. Drop me a DM and let`s have a chat 💖
Have a look at my previous post to see the other wedding outfit I made for the day - it couldn`t be more different to this one!)

What a beautiful day this was 🩷
I love cultural fusion, so getting to work on this styled shoot was such a pleasure. This real life couple, with Indian bride and British groom, were such a dream to work with too 🥰 (check out the bride`s beautiful tattoos)
This is the first of two outfits I created for the day. I made it from the fabric of two fuchsia pink lehenga. It was important to me to make sure I sourced the pieces from a genuine, Indian seller. You can`t beat the real thing!
I loved stretching my creative muscles to find the perfect blend of traditional Indian and British elements for this dress. And also incorporating modern elements in there as well. A fusion across time as well as geography!
What do you think? Do you think I met the brief?
Follow along to see the second I look I made as well (hint: it isn`t a dress).

I love an analogy, and I think this one is a really powerful one.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments 💜
"Simply the BEST. Working with Felicity was an absolute joy. I knew that I wanted to collaborate with someone who I knew I could depend on as I was on a tight deadline and it had to be perfect.
Not only did Felicity meet my expectations, she helped me realise my vision and achieve my dream that I had been working on for decades. Given my exacting fabric choice, she knows exactly what would work for me and gave expert advice. She thinks of everything and I trust her implicitly with my brand. I would recommend her to anyone.
Felicity puts you first and understands how much emotional energy you put into your big day -- whatever that day looks like."
Kathy is absolutely my type of person, an amazing, bright, creative soul, and I absolutely loved working with her.
I had such a lovely time at @kathykyle_`s launch party 🥰 and I bumped into some of the @hellodorking team as well!
