Kate needed a bespoke wedding dress for her wedding in Horsham. She commissioned a soft floaty gown in ivory silk satin and silk georgette with touches of Nottingham lace. I made her dress with a simple bias-cut skirt in satin with the georgette as an overlay. Above the high waistline the bodice I designed a...
For real bride, Rae, I created this gorgeous green wedding dress coat to fit over her other wedding dress. That way she had a more dramatic look for her ceremony, and then a lighter option during the reception. I made the dress coat in a stunning shot silk dupion that colour shifted from green to...
Safiya commissioned a bespoke bias cut wedding dress made up in white silk satin. The skirt was bias cut and cut slim to the hips but with more fullness at the hem and a medium length train. The backless bodice featured cross-over straps with chain embroidery. Official Wedding pictures by Indigo Images Original design sketch...
I made this illusion wedding dress for a black bride with a lace bodice and full silk skirt. It has a button back fastening and organza train the scalloped lace edging. Vanessa’s dress was truly a game of two halves, with a full, silk skirt to be supported from the waist and a delicate illusion...
Amanda came to me in 2009 to have a bespoke regency wedding dress made. I designed her a dress in pale gold silk satin with an ivory/gold beaded lace top layer. I created a lightly boned bodice with square neckline and high waistline seam with contrast band. The softly draping skirt spreads to a train...
My spouse and I booked a non-binary wedding couple photoshoot for our 14th wedding anniversary celebration. We were married in 2007 we had many happy years together as husband and wife. But in 2021 my spouse realised they were non-binary/trans. The person I had married as a man discovered their female inner self during Covid...
When Iram saw the custom Asian fusion wedding trousers and top that I had made for a bridal shoot, she decided she had to have them for her own London wedding – and I don’t blame her! This outfit looks perfect on her. “I fell in love with Felicity’s design from the moment I saw...
I created a bespoke chanitlly lace wedding dress for lovely Harriet. We started the design with a boned bodice. The sweetheart neckline was covered with the delicate French Chantilly lace. The lace layer has a boat neckline and elbow length sleeves. The a-line skirt is layered satin and silk organza with a small train and...
I made a bespoke portrait collar jacket and wedding dress trimmed with chantilly lace for Angela. The dress and jacket were both made in opulent oyster pink duchess silk satin.

This wedding Dress for a military wedding was made from layers of silk satin, chiffon and delicate beaded lace. I added real button and loops to close the back. I made two ribbon sashes for Emily so she could change the colours: ‘sand’ and ‘royal purple’ to wear for different parts of her day. Official...

Last month`s window display before I change it to something new.
For the display I featured three red wedding dresses:
First is the Elodie dress, made in stunning red silk with a sequin top. I love the bow at the back that extends into a train, as well as the hand-beaded back necklace.
For the middle wedding dress, I took inspiration from Romani gypsy styles, using ivory silk chiffon, accentuated with red floral lace and trimmed with matching coloured ribbons.
And finally, on the right, is the Aurora dress, made in layers of soft blush pink tulle, with gorgeous, floaty balloon sleeves. I think this dip dye combination of deep burgundy, crimson and red is really beautiful.
Do you have a favourite dress out of these three?
All three of these dresses are available, so drop me a DM, or check out my Etsy to find the wedding dress of your dreams 💜

As a wedding dressmaker, one of my favourite things to do is add colour to my designs. Whether making the dress from scratch, or dying an already bought dress, the colours a bride chooses tell me a lot about who they are as a person.
The most common colours I get for dip dye overskirts and wedding dresses are blues. Followed by purples and pinks. I love getting green commissions, although they happen a lot less often.
Tell me if you think your colour choice is true to you?

🌺🪩Strictly Ballroom!🪩🌺
It`s here, it`s finally here! This wedding photoshoot concept has been living rent-free in my head for YEARS. At least five. Five years of dreaming of a wedding styled around the iconic Baz Luhrmann film (not to be mistaken with Strictly Come Dancing, which was partly named after Strictly Ballroom).
I had so much fun organising this shoot, as well as making all the outfits you see here. That`s a wedding dress, a wedding suit and three bridesmaids looks.
There will be much more content around this shoot to come, but for now, let`s just bask in all this colour, texture and joy!

I`m so excited to share with you all a project I`ve been thinking about, and wanting to bring to life, for years. A few weeks ago, with the help of lots of amazing and talented people, my hard work came to fruition!
But for now...can you guess what the theme is?
Leave a comment with what you think my inspiration was...
“My detachable skirt was the best. So many people were very impressed with your work. Thank you so very much, I LOVE MY SKIRT!”
For real bride Christina, I created one of my iconic dip dye overskirts. Christina went for a beautiful monochromatic ombre, going from bright sky blue, all the way down to a deep, rich navy.
Whether it`s matching your bouquet, your groom`s pocket square or your bridesmaids, having an overskirt really helps tie the colour palette of wedding together.
If you want to add some colour to your wedding, but don`t quite feel brave enough to dye directly onto your wedding dress, then a dip dye overskirt is the perfect solution. Have a look at my Etsy (link in the bio) to find out more.
What colours would you pick?
