I have lots of purple wedding dress ideas to share with you. I made all these dresses from scratch, each is a bespoke wedding dress made for a real bride or for a photoshoot model. Purple wedding dresses evoke a wide range of ideas, from royal grandeur to alternative anti-fashion. Paler lilacs and mauves seem...
Rebecca wanted a whimsical bridal look fit for an elven princess. I designed a pastel rainbow ombre wedding dress in lace and organza.
Brianna commissioned a stunning autumn dip dye wedding dress for her Idaho wedding. It is copy of my best selling âPhoenix Dip Dyeâ wedding dress, with unique matcing accessories I made just for her. Brianna asked for a dip dye veil to echo the colours on the dress and gloves with lace detail. I first...
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,...
Dearest Gentle Reader,â It has come to this authorâs attention that a passionate affair took place at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, that would make even the most confident of rakes blush. Rest assured, a few were in attendance to what was a wonderful day, full of vibrancy, talent and exquisite work.â Here are a few...
I made the Phoenix dipdye wedding dress for a photoshoot. I designed a frosty sheer silver lace dress and a rose gold flowergirl dress as well for the same shoot. You can see more pictures from the entire shoot here. The autumn colour wedding dress was a pet project Iâd been keen to try for...
For this styled wedding shoot, the aim was to create an atmosphere that was dark, dramatic and regal. We used royal purple, lavender, deep burgundy and vibrant cerise as our colour palette, with plenty of gilded gold highlights. And no white! This was the inspiration for my dark fairytale feather wedding dress. My design was...
Gorgeous Ellie was married in Vegas on Halloween and her dress was a wonderful mixture of fifties shape, modern styling and subtle Halloween detail.
Stunning Cadbury purple 1950âs bridesmaidâs dresses with with black sashes and pretty butterfly detail. The dresses are all simple boned bodices with a âballet pinchâ detail just below the sweetheart neckline. A halterneck is flattering and provided peace of mind to the wearer. The full circle skirts lie over netting skirts in bright contrast colours...
Creating a purple silk wedding coat and a burlesque wedding dress for this fabulous shoot showcases everything I love most about my job. From time to time I collaborate with other wedding professionals on styled wedding photoshoots. This one took place in August 2016 in London with the theme âCity Burlesqueâ. Our locations including the...

Richelle got married in one of the most atmospheric cities in the world, and she needed a dress to compliment it perfectly. So we went structural, echoing @edinburghcastle`s architecture and the city`s towering stone buildings, creating a dramatic pink and silver gown in organza, silk and lace.â
â
But the story didn`t stop there. This dress has layers, literally. A medieval-inspired bolero with waterfall sleeves, and a swap-in 1950s skirt for the London leg of her wedding. One dress, several transformations. â
â
Oh, and the reception? The National Museum of Scotland. Because apparently one iconic backdrop isn`t enough. đ (more of that later)â
â
A dress built to match a city this beautiful, for a bride who wanted her wedding to feel like its own kind of fairytale.â

This sheer tulle overdress is embroidered from neckline to hem with wildflowers in red and lilac, trailing leaves that climb up and down from the waist like something grown, not made. Beaded droplets catch the light along every seam of the train - dew picked straight from the meadow. đ
A high neckline, delicate button-and-loop back, and cold-shoulder sleeves finished with beaded drops make this one for the bride who wants whimsy with a wild edge.
This is a photoshoot sample - one of a kind, in excellent condition, and listed at more than half the retail price. Worn here over an ivory slip, but this overdress can also be styled alone or with one of my dip-dye underskirts, for a pop of colour beneath the tulle.

A work of art amongst works of art đźď¸â

I absolutely love the idea of a wedding in an art gallery - so much beauty to be seen, and it would be an endless source of conversation for the guests!â
â
I supplied one of my bespoke bridal designs for this styled photoshoot. This wedding dress fits right in amongst the ornate gilded frames but also stands out with the bright fuchsia providing an injection of playful colour.â
â
If you could get married in an art gallery or a museum, which one would you choose? â

I originally made this wedding dress for a cultural fusion styled shoot.
It`s made from the fabric of two fuchsia pink lehengas, carefully disassembled and rebuilt to fit my design. It mattered to me to source genuine fabric from an Indian seller â nothing compares to the quality and detail of the real thing.
Designing this dress meant finding the perfect balance between traditional Indian textiles, British bridal silhouettes, and a few modern touches of my own. A fusion across geography and time. â¨
If there are parts of your culture and heritage you want present in your wedding dress, then drop me a message. I love cultural fusion, so getting to work with brides with varied and beautiful backgrounds is always such a pleasure.

Another happy Mother of the Bride: "I loved my dress and had many compliments- it was just me, so I was comfortable all day! The colour was perfect for end of August, in rain and sun. Thank you for all your help and creativity. I loved the experience and hope to be back for the next one in due course!"â
