Black goth wedding dress If you have followed my page for more than 3 minutes, you will know I love all colours. We have made a lot of coloured wedding dresses. When I get a new bride, and she comes in and says, like a sideline, wouldn’t it be fun to have a coloured wedding dress? I say to her go home and think about it; make sure that is what you want. But sometimes, I know it is 100% the right choice. When Tricia contacted me about her black dress, I knew it was 100% right for her. She…

Unicorn rainbow wedding dress Hannah is such a fun girl. She came to me with a brief of many things that were all a bit unusual for a wedding dress consultation: unicorns and rainbows. But this is what makes my day. It went something like this, “I like rainbows and blossom and tulle and colours.” It took a while to source all the bits and pieces for Hannah’s bespoke dress. We made a full-circle skirt in the unicorn rainbow tulle. The tulle was sitting loose on top of a duchess satin. We had lots of netting under the skirt of…

Millions of pearls Millions of pearls decorated this beautiful wedding dress for Annmarie. We made a stunning bodice with the embellishment of all the tiny little pearls on a satin fabric. You may not know when we work in heavily embellished fabrics, you may not know, but we need to strip the material entirely of all the embellishment on all seams and then add them again to cover the seam. Quite a bit of work goes into that, as you can imagine. The skirt was a Duchesse satin skirt with a tulle overlay creating a beautiful train at the back….

Halter neck beaded lace dress This was such a lovely request for a bespoke dress. Laura was looking for a halter neck dress with a really low back and made in beaded lace. There are always challenges when you work in lace because you want to love the lace design and the edgings of the lace need to work with the design as well. This was the perfect place. And we bought every single piece in the country. We needed extra lace to overlay the lace so the seams would be invisible. We made a fitted satin dress. Then fitted…

Tartan on a short dress Buchanan tartan was the simple detail on this short, sophisticated wedding dress. We loved making this wedding dress. Catriona has been a customer with us for a few years and we have become friends in the process. It was such an honour to be involved in this wedding. I loved getting asked to help them get dressed and send them off on the day. Catriona wanted a short simple off-the-shoulder wedding dress. The groom is a Buchanan, and we represented his tartan on the simple box pleat detail on the back of the wedding dress….

Skybar wedding party followed an amazing day of wedding celebrations. This beautiful couple held a beautiful reception at the George Hotel, followed by dinner at the Howies Restaurant. Many invitations had gone out to friends and family, so the couple hold a big party and celebrations at the Skybar with a stunning view over the castle. The reception was a very stylish affair and we were delighted to make the bride’s dress for the evening. She went for a deep v-neckline and long sleeves. She had a narrow skirt with a small train and deep split. The bespoke dress was…

Romantic vintage-inspired dress Working with Stacey is a delight. She is so in tune with amazing ideas and she works really hard to achieve her vision across every single detail of her wedding. She has a beautiful Scottish Highland Wedding in Glen Clova. That dress Before our first meeting we had had exchanges of ideas and she really liked soft vintage-inspired ideas. I was so honoured she came all the way from Aberdeenshire to meet with me and talk over her ideas. We picked a beautiful fine polka dot tulle and a warm ivory satin to go with it. While…

Cambo Estate wedding was booked for a while for this wedding. This is another wedding postponed due to covid. But totally worth the wait. I am not lying when I say I have been pretty excited about this one. For a few reasons. The gorgeous bride and groom are like me very fond of the outdoors and active lifestyles. Obviously, this wedding had to reflect that. So right from the start, I knew Julia would not want a dress with a big train or corsetry or anything else which would restrict her movement.  So we made her this gorgeous embroidered…

This stunning bride came to see us with an idea of a jumpsuit for her wedding. We love getting requests for slightly different ideas. We wanted this bespoke jumpsuit to be super special, and it had to fulfil the requirements of being beautiful and having some traditional “wedding” features and also be practical and nice to wear for a super fun and a proper dance session at the reception. I feel we fulfilled all the requirements, and I couldn’t be happier about how Claudia looked on the day. Claudia’s jumpsuit is made in pure silk satin, it has a deep…

Mikado dress for a Highland Wedding Making this bespoke wedding dress in beautiful pale ivory mikado fabric was such a joy. Mikado is a fabric we love to using. It makes a lovely circle cut skirt with a train and boned strapless bodice with button and loop details at the back. The dress have a little box jacket over with cap sleeves and little bow details on the back. Romy enjoyed the pocket feature, which made for fun pictures on the day. Working with Romy on this beautiful wedding in Perthshire was a lovely experience. She has a real vision…
