I have been privileged to create many wedding dresses for mature brides. It’s lovely to be trusted with the task so central to anyone’s wedding day whatever someone’s age. I do feel that older brides have lived life a little more and ‘know what they like’ in a different way to those younger women planning a wedding day their twenties or thirties. It is thrilling to be chosen by older brides who see in me and my work something that aligns with their values. I love to create unique bespoke wedding dresses and I feel a particular connection to mature brides.

Bronze shot silk wedding dress for a mature bride. This dress was made for a castle wedding and needed to have drama and elegance. I drew on inspiration from historical periods including Elizabethan construction techniques and the 1950’s glamour to create a theatrical dress worthy of the occasion.

Lisa’s Santorini blue dipdye wedding dress was a dream to make. I design a dress in textured silk chiffon and soft satin layers with the striking dipdye blue fading up from the hem. We added sleeves to give Lisa confidence. Many oder brides prefer to cover their arms and I have a wealth of classic and unconventional sleeve design ideas to suggest.

Angela’s shell pink silk jacket and dress was designed to flatter an older bride with vintage touches. Working with a beautiful duchess silk satin was a dream and I added delicate chantilly lace as a feminine touch. This colour is so perfect for a black bride.
