And this gorgeous photoshoot, shot at Welbeck Manor, is the perfect alternative wedding dress inspiration – Surrey. Alternative Wedding Dress Inspiration...
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...

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!"

🌹Ivory tulle, gold lace, and a hem that blooms like a hundred roses 🌹
Layers of soft ivory and blush tulle, with the bodice hand-finished with metallic gold and silver floral lace, featuring dramatic off-the-shoulder balloon sleeves and a sweetheart necklace.
With a boned, supportive bodice with built-in cups. Lace-up back for an adjustable fit. Full ballgown skirt with petticoat under, with the hem dip dyed by hand in deep burgundy, crimson and red.
This dress is unapologetically romantic and moves like something from a story.
Swipe through to see it worn by both our golden-haired and dark-haired princesses. Same dress, same magic, two completely different fairytales. ✨
This sample is on my Etsy shop, at a fraction of the cost of a full bespoke commission. No waiting - she`s already made and ready to find her bride. Once she`s gone, she`s gone.

The Petal Dress 🌸 a modern classic, born from a simple idea: elegance that doesn`t try too hard.
Strapless and sculpted in Duchess satin, this ivory gown is all about clean lines and quiet drama. The neckline unfolds into soft, sculpted petals, and the wrap-over skirt reveals a hint of leg, if the bride dares. And of course, finished with a long, sweeping train, for that unmistakable bridal moment.
Timeless, but never boring.
The Petal Dress is now live on my Etsy page. Tag the bride who`d wear this beautifully. 👇

Someone commented how much like Taylor Swift our beautiful bride @alicia.modelling_x looked wearing one of my bespoke wedding dress, and I think she`s absolutely right.
Which Taylor Swift album would you pair this wedding dress with?

A little look into my creative process for making my Swan Lake-inspired wedding dress.
I think feathers are a really underrated embellishment, so I wanted to give them their flowers 🪶💐 this corset style bodice features hundreds of hand-sewn white feathers, all meeting to a point in the middle of the chest, finished off with sparkling sequin lace.
Do you think the result was worth the effort?
And if you`re a bride looking for something full of fantasy and whimsy for your wedding, you`ve come to the right place. Making wedding outfits that look like they come from a story book is my speciality, so drop me a DM with your fairytale wedding ideas 🧚♀️
