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. 🥰🥰🥰

I loved adding a creamy pale yellow and sorbet orange dip dye to this beautiful silk skirt, by @catherine__deane (via @the_little_bridal_boutique).

Aren't these colours so lovely?

I'll be posting the beautiful photos the bride sent me of this wedding dress in action soon!
