Alice commissioned bespoke silver silk ties and matching hankies for her groom, his best man and ushers. I made the ties in a modern style, from the same silver silk satin as the bridesmaids sashes. Handkerchiefs to match completed the ensemble. Making Bespoke Ties Ties are made ‘cut on the bias’ which means they are...
A contemporary fusion of 1930’s and Victorian fantasy elements went into the design of Katherine’s wedding dress. Official photography by Debs Ivelja I made Katherine’s art deco wedding dress out of buttermilk coloured silk satin and ivory lace with subtle gold thread running through it. The bustle was made of silk chiffon in five subtle...
Old gold and blue silk I made custom bowties and a cummerbund for the groomsmen. Irene had her Mother of the bride dress and coat made by me. Then she commissioned accessories made in matching fabrics for her husband and various members of the bridal party I made the bow-ties in different fabrics for each...

I love autumn 🍂🍁
And this custom dip dye wedding skirt feels perfect for the changing of the seasons. All those beautiful colours of falling leaves, from bright yellow, through to deep burgundy.
As always, nature provides such a perfect source of inspiration 🍁
If you`re looking to capture the colours you love on your wedding day, my custom dip dye skirts are such a lovely touch. You can choose up to five shades, and there are a whole bunch of customisation options. Just check out my shop (link in bio).
For this elegant, forest green wedding dress, I spent a lot of hours working on the main focus of the dress; the beaded collar.
Sometimes doing things over and over again can be strangely peaceful, and sometimes it can be utterly mind-numbing. And sometimes it`s a bit of column A and a bit of column B! 😂
The rest of the dress was kept classic and simple, so this design element would really shine (literally)! I used a whole range of beads in peacock colours - blood red, deep garnet, teal, vibrant purple and sparkling gold. I played with design ideas, taking inspiration from the art deco era, using a lot of symmetry and geometry.
It`s always a relief when I`m finally finished with a project like this, to be able to step back and see the result and think "ah, that was completely worth it." 😌

This is one of my favourite bridal creations 💚
When talking to Janet about her bespoke wedding dress ideas, I was so excited when she told me she wanted a gown in gorgeous, emerald green 🌳🦚
I love working with colour, and non-traditional colours don`t have to mean a non-traditional look. Janet looks so elegant and regal in this simple, floor length wedding dress.
The layers of silk and chiffon meant the dress floated when she walked, and pooled around her in gorgeous puddles of forest green satin when she sat. And the simple shape meant we could put all our attention into the feature neckline with a beautiful, glittering, hand-beaded collar.

"Felicity worked her magic on my pre-loved Vinted wedding dress and transformed it into something completely bespoke and truly beautiful. Her vision and creativity were incredible, and she immediately saw the potential in the dress and knew exactly how to make it feel like me.
I felt both incredibly comfortable and glamorous on my wedding day, which was exactly what I had hoped for. Felicity was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process, making everything feel exciting and enjoyable.
Her shop is absolutely lovely, and her creativity is genuinely inspiring. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!"

Honouring your own heritage, whilst welcoming in the culture of your beloved. That`s the key to a cultural fusion bridal look.
Vidushi wanted a wedding dress that felt like both halves of her story - her Indian roots, and the culture of the country she calls home.
Reimagining and weaving together a western-style ivory wedding dress with three highly embellished sari sets, Vidushi walked down the aisle looking beautiful and completely one-of-a-kind.
Her wedding look features an A-line silhouette, a richly embellished corseted bodice, and a striking red veil - a bold final note of colour against the ivory.

I have always loved working on cultural fusion wedding dresses, and I have been very lucky that many brides trust me with this process.
For Vidushi`s bespoke wedding dress, we worked to combine her Indian heritage with her husband`s Polish culture. She sourced the base dress and three beautiful red saris, and we began the process of discovering the kind of fusion she was looking for.
The final result is the perfect blend of east and west ❤️
