Last year I made a bespoke wedding dress for one of my brides with white lace and ruffled white organza skirts. It really was a wedding dress! The above pic is a finished shot. I am showing here below, without much explanation, mainly work in progress shots of the dress as it came together. It was a very labour intensive dress with all the white corded lace hand appliqued onto the bodice, and the skirt ruffles also all attached by hand.  Above: Not finished yet - only about half the ruffles attached at this stage. I thought this would be good to show as another wedding-dress-making journey from start to finish. I'm taking bookings for 2019 and 2020 weddings at the moment. Do drop me an email if you'd like to discuss having your wedding dress custom made. :) X

I'm so excited to show you these fantastic images from Lara and Dean's winter wedding last Christmas time!

This is definitely a case of less is more, and she looks amazing! Congratulations to you both! X All these beautiful images are by photographer Esther Wild .

This is Laura, who married Freddie, at a chateau in France in the late spring. I remember posting a photo of Laura in her final fitting (close up so no-one knew it was her of course) and now I'm so happy to see these pictures of what looks like a wonderful wedding day with a gorgeous bride and groom! The photos are by Warren James Palmer Laura's dress was a Bespoke gown, she came with an idea of what she liked and the ideas evolved  as we chatted during our first meeting. The body of Laura's dress is a heavy silk crepe with a silk chiffon over-layer. Laura was certain that she wanted an unusual lace with a vintage look. As there are so many laces available, I gave her some website addresses and she had a look herself. I often advise ...
