If you’re in search for some mixed Indian British wedding dress inspiration, then you’ve come to the right blog post. I’m Fliss – a bespoke wedding dress maker from the south of England (Surrey, to be exact). I love making wedding dresses that are a little unusual. My brides are often looking for an outfit...
I designed this custom wedding dress, made in Surrey, for a spring wedding photoshoot. Along with the chic bridal separates. The shoot took place at Somersbury Barn, a beautiful oak framed barn nestled in the idyllic Surrey countryside. This gorgeous venue, complete with a stunning Victorian glasshouse was the initial inspiration for our shoot planner...
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...
Just before lockdowns began in 2020 I created an Indian Fusion wedding dress for a photoshoot with a London team of suppliers. We wanted to create inspiration for the many mixed culture weddings being planned in the UK. I showcased my fusion wedding dress design skills with an ensemble of ivory silk top, skirt and...
Some people think wedding dresses are timeless and don’t change as fast as other fashion, but this is not true at all. In all fashion cycles you get the fashion-forward styles, that are breaking new ground and bucking current convention.

"I truly cannot say enough AMAZING things about Felicity and the magical dyed overskirt she made for me! My overskirt is sincerely beyond all expectations and even more." - Ginny, the bride 💕
Ginny wanted colour, and I was more than happy to oblige! Almost a full rainbow (just missing a bit of green), the vibrancy of this dip dye overskirt makes me so happy. This has got to be the bridal version of dopamine dress, right?
Ginny also chose to start the blend higher up than most brides, meaning there`s even more colour than my usual dip dye wedding dresses.
Keep scrolling to see what the skirt looked like on the day ✨️
I can`t wait to see what gorgeous colour combinations my gorgeous brides bring to me this year! What combination would you choose?
Sometimes I get so carried away with making a bespoke wedding dress I completely forget to record the process for you lovely lot! Filming content is fun, but it doesn`t compare to getting lost in the process of a creating.
My Morticia-inspired wedding dress is one of my most popular designs, and I can see why. Sparkly, sexy, figure-hugging, dramatic. Have a look at my previous post to see the *stunning* photos of this one on its bride, especially if you`ve got a gothic wedding in mind.

Let`s all take a moment from our day to marvel at how gorgeous Sophia was in her sparkling black wedding dress. She`s channelling Morticia Addams` dark sensuality so effortlessly. With her husband Colin, providing the perfect Gomez.
Elegant, ethereal and deliciously gothic.
If you want a wedding dress that`s as black as your soul, send me a bat (or a DM, up to you)🦇

I love it when a bride runs, not walks, to my shop, ready for their bespoke journey to begin!
Brides who want unconventional, whilst also looking for a wedding dress that`s elegantly couture, always manage to find me.
No idea too unusual or dramatic. No design too ambitious. Bring on the whimsy!

As well as doing extensive alteration to Bryony`s vintage wedding dress, she also asked me to make her a custom veil in a cowl-back or cascade style (pinned on both sides of the head).
The wonderful thing about getting a bespoke veil is that it can be designed specifically to compliment your dress, your style and your story.
I think this veil is the perfect choice to add even more Hollywood glamour to Bryony`s vintage wedding look.

It`s such a lovely feeling when I get to help make a friend`s wedding day all the more special. Bryony and I met through our local theatre, so I was delighted when she asked me to alter her vintage wedding dress.
Bryony sourced her wedding dress second hand from @bridesdressrevisited - sustainability is really important to her, so she was never going to buy it brand new. But it`s very rare for an off-the-rail dress to be the perfect fit, especially if it`s lived a longer life than most other wedding dresses.
As you can see from the early fitting photos, the dress didn`t fit Bryony`s slender frame, and the design of the back and the straps looked a little dated. So my job was to keep, but elevate, the old-time Hollywood style.
The dress underwent quite a lot of work. Firstly I had to take it in substantially to fit Bryony`s waist. Then I worked on the straps; reangling them to make them more off-shoulder, and taking the lining out, to make them less bulky and more sheer. At the back I lowered the neckline and sewed the original covered buttons back on. There were also a few smaller tasks, like fixing the zip and mending a ripped hem.
The final result is gorgeous! You would never have known the journey Bryony`s bridal look had gone through - it just looks like a dress made specifically for her.
If you`ve found your dream wedding dress, but it needs a little adjustment here or there (or a more dramatic change), drop me a DM 💜
