Clare wanted something pretty but informal and not too ‘wedding’ for her special day. She knew from the start that a rose pink informal wedding dress was the way forward. She brought a skirt she loved to her design consultation with gorgeous little godet flare inserts at the back which we used as a basis...

Nicola’s daughter and niece were her two beautiful bridesmaids and I made them bespoke teen bridesmaid dresses.

I made an orange wedding dress 1950’s style for Clare’s Florida wedding. She commissioned a flamboyant 1950’s style dress made in burnt orange satin and ivory chiffon with beaded lace and tulle. Official wedding photographs by www.gingermidgett.com The fitted and well boned bodice had a sweetheart neckline framed with straps that narrowed on the shoulder....
The dress needed to have a vintage, showgirl feel and be really sexy but still realistic as a bridal dress, not many people actually get married in a leotard and feathers! The wiggle skirt with a boned bodice hit all these marks showing off our lovely model, Vanessa?s curves and cinching her waist. I added a teal net petticoat that would show when the high/low hem moved and delicate gold lace detail with Swarovski crystals for showgirl glamour!

“I cannot stop thinking of you. From the mornings you ease, to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit, my thoughts of you never end.”
Who doesn`t want to run away from the world for a while? To take their lover by the hand and find a moment of quiet; to dance, to read, to hold each other.
The romance between Daphne and Simon in Bridgerton was so electric. Even though they had a wedding in the series, I wanted to re-imagine the wedding dress Daphne would have worn, adding a bit more personality and colour into a classic Regency silhouette.
I wanted to keep the brilliant combination of old and new design elements the show does so well. So, along with the empire line waist, square neckline and boned stays (corset), I used modern fabrics like tulle, beaded lace and shantung. And, of course, the pink and lilac dip dye skirt.
Could you see this dress on the next season of Bridgerton?
If the attraction you feel to this dress is as strong as Simon`s attraction to Daphne, then it`s currently on sale in my shop (link in bio). There`s only one, so grasp it whilst you still can, before it finds another lover!

"Absolutely beautiful. It fulfilled my vision perfectly and made me feel like me on my wedding day. I got tons of compliments, including from all the venue staff and random passersby!"
Funny story with Samantha. Originally they wanted just three colours; pink, orange and yellow. I sent them a photo of their sample, which happened to have another sample for another bride next to it. They preferred the other sample so much, they changed their mind and opted for this beautiful full rainbow instead.
I am so in love with how their wedding photos came out. The photographer perfectly captured how hypnotically the tulle moves, and the beautiful relationship it has with the layers of colour.
Samantha`s bridal look is the perfect example of how dip dye overskirt an elevate a wedding dress. It was already a lovely gown, but with this gorgeous blend of colours, it`s now a piece that no one can take their eyes off of.

"The dress was a hit!! Thank you so much for making my day perfect!"
Beautiful words from a beautiful bride.
Madison wanted something extra special for her wedding day, so I designed, made and dip-dyed this stunning gown for her.
I`m so grateful to Madison, since she doesn`t live in the UK, we couldn`t do fittings. So she had to really trust me with this. I`m so glad she did 🥰
I love the bouquet, with the sunflowers and roses to match the some of the colours of the gradient.
"Say yes to heaven, say yes to me" 🤍
This wedding dress is so heart-achingly romantic. The layers upon layers of fluffy tulle, the white roses encircled by trailing lace and those deep, vibrant colours.
Bold. Beautiful. Completely unique and completely bespoke. Perfect for an alternative bride looking for couture colour.

Manifesting... 💞
This is what happened back in November at the South East Regional award ceremony for The Wedding Industry Awards. I won best in my category for "best wedding dressmaker".
🤞🤞🤞 And I`m just hoping it happens again on Wednesday night when I`m in Liverpool for the National ceremony!
But either way I`m a winner already both in the south east and every time I see a bride`s smile in her finished bespoke dress. 🥰🥰🥰

NicoleThey’re divorced. Do not feel these photographs are appropriate to display.
woozelsmudgeHi Nicole, Thanks for your comment. I only ever show photos of past clients with explicit permission, which was obtained before publishing these. At any time my client can be in touch if she would like the images taken down, but perhaps she prefers to celebrate her beautiful dress and support my business in these difficult times, even if the marriage has now ended.
