I’m very lucky that I attract the kind of brides who often want something that varies wildly from the traditional long white gown. So, when I met Maggie (virtually) and she told me that she was getting married in the summer and wanted something fun and bright, I was very excited! So I designed for...
Tracey wanted a Tudor inspired wedding dress with a modern twist for her wedding at the Tudor period hotel, Langshott Manor. I love designing alternative wedding dresses so this was a lovely project. The two piece ensemble made in deep red silk velvet has a firmly boned bodice cut in a ‘Tudor’ style with a...
I am a huge fan of wearing a bit of colour for your wedding, so this pale blue cocktail wedding dress hits all the right buttons! The dress has a cute, vintage, 1950’s wiggle dress vibe and suited Isabelle perfectly. Simple and sweet bridal mini-dress with tiered ivory lace skirt. Pale blue silk satin shows...
Gorgeous Ellie was married in Vegas on Halloween and her dress was a wonderful mixture of fifties shape, modern styling and subtle Halloween detail.
Whether it’s a fifties flirt or a demure tea-length wedding dress, shorter dresses have had a real come-back recently. It makes a change from always dealing with full length and trains! Here is a selection of dresses I have made where the bride has opted to show off her pretty ankles – or more! Examples...

I designed the Celeste wedding dress to feel dreamy, like a goddess in disguise in the 1930s ✨ The sparkling underdress is perfect for an evening party while the flowing overdress transforms the look for a more ethereal vibe.
Made from pale ivory soft tulle that cascades in two layers from the shoulders, nipped in at the waist by a grosgrain ribbon belt. The back is probably one of my favourite features: a decadent layered necklace glistening with jewels.

⭐️The Celeste Dress🌙
Layers of silver satin, sequins and flowing soft tulle, falling in gentle pleats,
Timeless and modern, taking inspiration from the art deco aesthetic,
A daring plunge neckline and low, sweeping back,
Adorned with a dramatic necklace of diamante, pearls and Swarovski crystals.
The Celeste dress is for a bride who embodies both elegance and indulgence. Curved lines, light fabric and light-catching beads will transform you into a moonbeam, glimmering during the day and all through the night.

Just leaving this here...
It`s a passage from a book of interviews with Germans who lived through World War II.
I often describe what I do as Dress Alchemy. But have you ever wondered what I mean when I say that? You might even be a dress alchemist yourself...

This is Nicky, the beautiful bride (and all round beautiful person), who nominated me for the Wedding Industry Awards 🩵✨️ here`s what she said about my work:
"Utterly amazing, Felicity brought to life a bespoke wedding dress for me this year based around words in our first dance song! A true, creative professional with such fine attention to detail, her dresses are glorious, unique works of art."
Such lovely lovely words 🥲
I loved designing and making this sparkly blue wedding dress. And I`m glad she made use of the removable sleeves (they`re fast becoming a favourite design element of mine).
As she mentioned above, Nicky`s dress was designed around the lyrics of a song. Can you guess which one?
(have a look at the previous post to find out if you`re right)

"When I first met you, you looked a lot like Billie Holiday, that blue backless dress, the one with the sequins and the single white gardenia."
Some brides give me mood boards for their wedding dress inspiration. And some brides give me the lyrics to the extended (8 minute!) version of Torch by Soft Cell.
