Rachel Lamb Bridal Design

Well the sewing machines are cooling down as the last of the Christmas wedding dresses are finished and waved goodbye to! It's been such a busy year work-wise this year. The busiest since I left my King's Parade premises in 2008 to work at home, and then in my new garden studio in summer 2014.

But after asking colleagues, her mum, friends and me, she picked the design.....and then a few weeks later changed it to the one above! Luckily before I'd cut out the actual silks and lace! The dress is very similar, but not exactly the same as my Gaia dress design, which wasn't one of Rachael's original choices, although she had tried it on at her first appointment! The lace is a delicate ivory Chantilly lace over a silk base, with a tiny pearl trim under the bust-line. It fitted her like a glove, I was very pleased with the outcome. Rachael maintains (still, in a recent email) that she was a 'Bridezilla' because she...

I've entered a bridal supplier competition!!! I don't normally do this sort of thing. To be honest, I'm just too shy mostly. However I've bitten the bullet and entered a regional competition: The Four Counties Wedding Awards . If I've made your dress in the last 12 months and you would like to vote for me, please do so! My entry is mainly about customer service and going the extra mile. I will be very grateful :-) Just click on the badge to the right there, and follow the links to vote. Voting closes at midnight on the 31st Oct. Thank you! xxx
