This gorgeous bespoke bronze wedding dress has gained a bit of attention recently, ever since I shared the secrets of how she fastens at the back, so I thought I`d bring her back for you to see in full. â¨
Making this dress was a dream, but nothing beats seeing how beautiful this bride looked on the day, surrounded by old stone, wild forest, and the people she loves.
Your wedding dress is about you, it`s you, showing up in something that tells everyone exactly who you are. And I think this dress tells us this bride is opulent, elegant and regal. Basically? She`s a queen. đ
Getting your dress made specifically for you means you get to be really specific about how you want to look and feel on the day. Bright, modern and playful. Wild, dramatic and daring. Whatever your vibe, working with a maker who prioritises your ideas is a must.
If you`re ready to take a step towards a truly bespoke bridal experience, drop me a DM. đ

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

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.
