Sara’s sister had her wedding dress from us a few years ago, so we were delighted to be asked to make her blue bridesmaids dresses for her wedding in Carberry Tower. Sara’s 3 bridesmaids were very different body shapes and colouring, so Sara decided to go for the same colour and fabric for all 3 of them, and then they chose their own styles. We the end result was great, sometimes people just look more different when you try too hard to get them to look the same. Shona went for a short, boned, strapless, circle skirt dress with sweetheart…

When Penny first came to see us for her wedding in the scottish highlands, she had different ideas we explored, a couple of things she was really certain she of was that she wanted no glitzy accessories on the dress, and that she wanted folds in some shape or form. She decided to go for the silk satin chiffon, the fabric is soft enough to drape and create a cowl neck effect, it is a really soft fabric, but it still has enough body that it didn’t appear limp or floppy in the folds. She chose the colour to be…

Alison came to see us with a short concise brief for her wintry wedding dress. She wanted luxurious fabrics, lace top, no train, simple a-line. Her wedding was going to be a small wintry intimate family affair in the Bonham Hotel. She went for a skirt in a silk zibeline, it gave a really rich and wintry texture to her dress and a lovely contrast for the very fine pretty chantilly empire line bodice, which was to go on top of her dress. The dress is a soft dress with very light boning. She wrote to us after and said:…

Catherine ordered 4 bridesmaids dresses from us. We were excited about her ideas of her Dundas Castle wedding and Flowers from Planet flowers and lovely Autumnal feel to the day. The girls were  lovely to work with. We made 3 adult bridesmaids dresses, one which was a maternity dress, and one dress for Catherine’s gorgeous teenage niece. Catherine chose a dark navy and a pale pink for her niece, it looked so lovely for that season and with lovely soft textured bouquets to match. We were blown away by Sarah Elizabeths Photographs, and we were ready to move into the…

Effie was one of our many brides this year who stays in London, live a really busy life and couldn’t just pop in during lunch break. Lucky enough her sweet mum came to see us and enquire initially on her behalf. We made some initial contact, and when we first met the bride it was a joy. She had given so much thought to her dress. She brought in a fantastic family album with pictures of her relatives, who had married in dresses, we were to take inspiration from.We ended up with a matte silk duchesse silk satin dress. It…

Claire’s wedding was full of vintage details and she wanted her 4 bridesmaids to complete the look and be complementary to her vintage style wedding dress. She went of a soft satin in a coffee colour, a bateau neckline and ivory deep cowl necks on the back. The cowl neck was so wide they almost made a little sleeve or cape on the back. There was deep ivory belt on all the dresses. They were fully lined and had concealed zips at the back.We loved how it all looked on the day where it was held at Broxmouth Park Estate…

 We were delighted when Clare asked us to make her 3 bridesmaids dresses. Clare had a light summery feel to her wedding and went for Coffee coloured chiffon dresses with different necklines to suit the 3 different girls. the dresses had an empire line band which ended in a bow at the back, the bow very similar to that on Clare’s wedding dress. It was a real pleasure working with Clare and her bridesmaids, and the final look of the wedding came together so so well. The ceremony was at St. Mary’s Kirk in Haddington and the reception at Lennoxlove….

We had previously worked with Audrey, and when we heard Audrey was engaged to be married, we were so excited she asked us to make her wedding dress. We knew her wedding would be amazing and full of sophisticated touches. Audrey went for a Pistachio green lace to sit off the shoulder and a silk crepe back satin silk skirt. We made a light internal corset and ruching on the waist, the dress had covered buttons and loops at the back. The wedding was held in One Devonshire Gardens, and the city sophisticated dress suited the venue to a T….
