Izzy’s modest guipure lace wedding dress was created to be simple and flattering with pretty lace and butterfly detail. The main dress was cut princess line to float around her figure, lightly boned for support. The square neckline and cap sleeves were modest and feminine. Lace applique highlighted Izzy’s waist and the lace up back...

This bride was one of those rare and wonderful creatures in the wedding industry - a repeat customer!
She first came to me for help with her daughter`s wedding outfit, and when her own wedding plans became reality I was flattered that she thought of me again.
We started with one set of designs and got as far as the toile (practice run) but when her wedding plans were deferred (eugh, covid) and with extra time on her hands, she researched ideas more and changed her mind on the style she wanted.
It always makes me happy when a bride feels comfortable enough with me to let me know when the initial design turns out not to be what they want. Then we can work on figuring out the perfect design.
If the idea of working together to make something truly unique to you for your wedding day, then I`d love to hear from you 🥰

A call to all Mother of the Brides (to be)!
If you`re struggling to find the perfect outfit for the big day, then getting something completely bespoke, made to fit your body and style, may be the right choice for you.
I have one slot left at the end of April, if you`d rather get going sooner rather than later. After that I have slots available in June, July and August for weddings happening in late summer or autumn.
For this mother of the bride I created this beautiful deep navy silk velvet dress, complete with diamante bows.
It`s always a pleasure to design and create a Mother of the Bride (or Groom) outfit that is not only in keeping with the wedding`s theme, but also reflects the personality of the MOB 💜
Step 1: meet the bride-to-be, and discuss her vision. Shapes, fabrics, themes, colours, all of it!
Step 2: making! With regular fittings to make sure everything is perfect.
Step 3: the big day 💜

"I had been looking for the dress of my dreams for a couple of years. Felicity made it happen. I loved how creative and knowledgeable she is. I was always made to feel comfortable to ask and specify what I really wanted.
The process was relaxed (once I finally found the lace I wanted) and really enjoyable. The dress is perfect. It was comfortable to wear and Felicity thought of everything. She is reliable, trustworthy and brilliant at what she does.
I wish I had more dresses to be made but him being the love of my life, I will have to settle with one wedding dress only."
This is exactly what I hope for in an experience with a bride, so I`m thrilled to get a review like this!
If you feel you can trust me with your wedding dress as well, make sure to drop me a message 💜

"Can I just say a massive thank you for my dress. I absolutely loved it and I had so many compliments."
Isn`t Andie such a glamorous mother of the bride? It`s giving red carpet couture.
For her daughter`s wedding, Andie wanted a classic, elegant silk dupion dress. Once we picked out this gorgeous colour (called Strawberries and Cream from @bennett_silks), I pleated and folded the fabric to give this figure-hugging statement silhouette.
A wedding is a significant day for parents as well, so it was wonderful to be able to create a dress for Andie that really spoke to her style and personality.
I still have some slots for mother of the bride (or groom) bookings this year, so drop me a message if you want something extra special for such an extra special day.
