I made these custom mini-me christening dress for Adrienneâs twin girls. These two christening dresses were made from Mummyâs wedding dress fabrics and trims. I used the taffeta as the main fabric and then the veil tulle for the overskirt. I carefully removed the beaded lace motifs from the original dress and hand sewed them...
This was the first styled shoot I ever organised â but certainly not the last. I live on the border between Sussex and Surrey and as a wedding dress designer, it only made sense that I gathered together some local wedding suppliers, chose a stunning location, made some dresses and had some fun! Hence this...
Katrina came to me looking for a wedding dress fit for the English Summer. She wanted a beautiful hand painted wedding dress with flowers in a mix of colours (but not pink). We designed the perfect canvas, a bespoke wedding dress in layered white taffeta and silk organza. We started with a base of some...
Gorgeous Ellie was married in Vegas on Halloween and her dress was a wonderful mixture of fifties shape, modern styling and subtle Halloween detail.
Suzanne commissioned a pretty tea length brown wedding dress and bolero made up in taffeta and chiffon. I made her knee-length dress with a fitted and boned bodice. She wanted a gentle sweet-heart shaped neckline and slim straps. We chose a beautiful shot taffeta (shot pink/green/ivory) with chocolate chiffon on top and I âplaitedâ the...
Lisa was a bridesmaid for her friend who lives overseas. So I made her a blue and gold bespoke taffeta bridesmaid dress. Lisa was sent the beautiful duck-egg/gold shot taffeta fabric and given free reign over her own dress design. The other bridesmaidâs dress was made up overseas by a local dressmaker. I made the...

Richelle got married in one of the most atmospheric cities in the world, and she needed a dress to compliment it perfectly. So we went structural, echoing @edinburghcastle`s architecture and the city`s towering stone buildings, creating a dramatic pink and silver gown in organza, silk and lace.â
â
But the story didn`t stop there. This dress has layers, literally. A medieval-inspired bolero with waterfall sleeves, and a swap-in 1950s skirt for the London leg of her wedding. One dress, several transformations. â
â
Oh, and the reception? The National Museum of Scotland. Because apparently one iconic backdrop isn`t enough. đ (more of that later)â
â
A dress built to match a city this beautiful, for a bride who wanted her wedding to feel like its own kind of fairytale.â

This sheer tulle overdress is embroidered from neckline to hem with wildflowers in red and lilac, trailing leaves that climb up and down from the waist like something grown, not made. Beaded droplets catch the light along every seam of the train - dew picked straight from the meadow. đ
A high neckline, delicate button-and-loop back, and cold-shoulder sleeves finished with beaded drops make this one for the bride who wants whimsy with a wild edge.
This is a photoshoot sample - one of a kind, in excellent condition, and listed at more than half the retail price. Worn here over an ivory slip, but this overdress can also be styled alone or with one of my dip-dye underskirts, for a pop of colour beneath the tulle.

A work of art amongst works of art đźď¸â

I absolutely love the idea of a wedding in an art gallery - so much beauty to be seen, and it would be an endless source of conversation for the guests!â
â
I supplied one of my bespoke bridal designs for this styled photoshoot. This wedding dress fits right in amongst the ornate gilded frames but also stands out with the bright fuchsia providing an injection of playful colour.â
â
If you could get married in an art gallery or a museum, which one would you choose? â

I originally made this wedding dress for a cultural fusion styled shoot.
It`s made from the fabric of two fuchsia pink lehengas, carefully disassembled and rebuilt to fit my design. It mattered to me to source genuine fabric from an Indian seller â nothing compares to the quality and detail of the real thing.
Designing this dress meant finding the perfect balance between traditional Indian textiles, British bridal silhouettes, and a few modern touches of my own. A fusion across geography and time. â¨
If there are parts of your culture and heritage you want present in your wedding dress, then drop me a message. I love cultural fusion, so getting to work with brides with varied and beautiful backgrounds is always such a pleasure.

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!"â
