This is Hannah’s organza waterfall fishtail wedding dress which was a ‘restyle’ rather than made from scratch. She found the almost perfect dress in a bridal boutique but brought it to me to have the skirt changed to the organza waterfall loveliness she craved.

"Dearest Fliss, I`m not sure I have the adequate words to express how thankful I am, or how talented and wonderful I think you are, but I`ll give it a go. My hopes and dreams for my dress were actualised by your amazing hands. My dress was so beautiful and different - just what I wanted. You made me shine on our special day."
I made this dress over 10 years ago now but it still makes me feel emotional reading this, so many years after.
As part of making Claire`s gorgeous blue and white 1800s-inspired wedding dress was creating this bespoke corset from scratch. The dress was made with an 18th century `flat-fronted` boned bodice, and once we fitted it, I played with shape, flow and texture to create this completely unique and opulent peplum corset, featuring beads, pearls, sequins, cord and lace.
I was lucky enough to become friends with Claire during the making process of her dress and as a result she invited to her wedding day. I was 9 months at the time and my waters broke at her wedding breakfast. My son was born 3 days later!
If you are looking for something beautiful and different for your special day, drop me a message - I would love to make your bridal dreams a reality.
The main inspiration for this wedding dress was this blue and white gown, worn by Emily Blunt for Vanity Fair. Claire, the bride, added photos of the infamous Mr Pearl`s beautifully ornate corsets to her mood board as well.
As a bride, talking in images is one of the easiest ways for me to understand your vision and aesthetic. If someone says to me `dreamy` or `classic`, that can mean very different things to different people. But this gorgeous reference photo of a Dior gown gave me everything I needed to know to start sketching.
What images are on your dream wedding mood board right now?

This wedding dress is for a bohemian bride; a bride who wants to take inspiration from nature for their whole ceremony - from the venue, to the biodegradable invitations, to the beautiful embroidered tulle, with flowers and leaves springing from the waist and growing organically along the body.
This is for a bride who loves meadow flowers, like ox-eye daisies and poppies. For a bride who enjoys being barefoot in the grass, exploring a forest, and who’s favourite season is probably spring. A woodland goddess 🌿
This dress is currently part of my sample sale, which you can find on my Etsy (link in bio). So if you`re a UK size 12-14 and looking for woodland-themed whimsy for your wedding, this might be the dress for you.

Just me escaping the world for a bit to go and live in the woods and hang out with the birds.
I`ll be back later...(maybe) 🌿
