For this made-to-measure wedding dress in Surrey, Laura wanted something elegant, with full length sleeves, a flowing skirt and featuring floral lace. Laura’s wedding was planned for winter, so the dress also needed to be warm! I went for a boned bodice with cups built in, so Laura would feel supported throughout the day. I...
For this Marie Antoinette wedding dress photoshoot, we took inspiration from the aesthetic of Bridgeton. I think we ended up with something slightly different, but equally wonderful, don’t you think? Our colour scheme was pastels; blush, pinks, coral, creamy ivory and hints of baby blue and gold. We wanted to evoke something romantic and ethereal...
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...
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...
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...

“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. 🥰🥰🥰
