The Wedding Secret

Guest post by The Wedding Secret:

Planning weddings is often a stressful and confusing task which is why I’m passionate about ensuring that choosing, designing and fitting your wedding dress is a relaxed and enjoyable process. Recently I’ve been in touch with another company that aim to make planning a wedding that little bit easier.

I’m delighted to announce that I am now listed on The Wedding Secret. You can find my listing here:http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/felicity-westmacott-bespoke-dressmaker-wedding-dresses-suits-surrey.html

www.theweddingsecret.com

This really is a great website to take a look at if you’re organising a wedding, as you can find information for cake makers, hair stylists, photographers and so much more. Follow this link if you’re currently looking for a wedding photographer:http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/wedding-photographer-surrey.htm

Finding the perfect wedding dress is such a personal decision and so, I always spend time with my brides talking about their likes, dislikes and desires in order that I can create their dream dress. Likewise, where you choose to hold your wedding is an equally personal and important decision. The Wedding Secret also understands this and so, will give you a list of venues based on the area of the UK in which you’d like to marry. Take a look at the venues near me:http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/wedding-venues-in-surrey

So, when planning your wedding, take advantage of websites such as “The Wedding Secret” it really could save you a lot of time and hassle.

Especially if it's the bride's mother's wedding dress from the 80s, hand dyed to the perfect shade of warm pink, and restyled to evoke the iconic Vivienne Westwood. 

There's definitely a lot of happiness in that.

This wedding dress took the most paint I've ever used for one of my dip-dye creations. 

Victoria's wedding dress is beautiful in part because it's so full, and that fullness comes from layers. So before I could even get to the main event, I had two underlayers to spray, both with long trains.

When it comes to spraying, the best setup is one where you're away from everything else, with good ventilation. Where better than outside? That does mean dressing to keep warm, and in clothes you don't mind getting a bit painty.

But all that effort was so worth it. Victoria chose such a gorgeously unusual colour palette - deepening from lilac, through purple, into black. It's regal, gothic, and has a real fantasy feel. And I think dyeing the full-length lace sleeves to match really finishes off the look.

What do you think of this colour combination?
A bustle this pretty deserves a pretty name 🌸

If your wedding dress is floor length or longer, a bustle is not only a really practical feature to add, it can also transform your gown.

For Emily I did an overbustle with five points. These kinds of bustle usually go up to the waistline, but we brought it down, so if you want a 'proper' term, it would be a low five-point overbustle (or American bustle). 

But I like to simply call it a petal bustle - a much prettier name, and it's what it looks like.

You can tell it's going to move amazingly on the dancefloor 🪩 ✨
