Gardeners Cottage Summer Wedding A perfect venue for a city center wedding in the summer. Jane wearing a bespoke wedding dress.  We constructed the dress is with a boned bodice top with buttons fastening.  Attached she had a half-circle skirt also in the beautiful silk crepe.  On top she wears a fine chantilly lace bolero. The bolero is from our collection and embellished with art deco beadwork. The silk crepe is one of my absolute favourite fabrics. It’s opaque and it has somebody to it, but it flows and moves beautifully. At the intimate Ceremony held in the City Chambers,…

Lake District Garden Wedding A very beautiful silk wedding dress was what we made for Shonagh. She had planned a beautiful garden wedding in her parent’s garden in the Lake District. She had picked the date and kept to the date, but due to the corona restrictions had  2 parties to celebrate with all the people she wanted there. Shonagh initially had some different pictures of ideas from Pinterest. They were all stunning and we picked and chose a couple of ideas. The first thing was a simple dress with wrap-over detail and spaghetti straps. And then a little overlay…

Royal enclosure at Royal Ascot Dress This blog post is so long overdue. I have had so many of your asking me for pictures from my big day out. I was so so excited to be invited to Royal Ascot. In fact, the invitation was from last year, but we all know covid happened. So this year I it was such a wait to see if it would go ahead. The the date was a couple of days before Boris had announced the lifting of the restrictions. Anyway, with 3 weeks to go, we were told it would go ahead…

Canongate Kirk Wedding This wedding is one I have been very excited about being part of.  Flora’s mum, Jane has been a client and friend of the shop for a long long time. She has such great taste and love for colour, and we always love making outfits for her. We made Jane’s outfits for both her sons’ weddings too. So we were literally jumping with joy when the news arrived that Flora now was engaged. Flora is so cool. She is amazing at sports and she has been representing Great Britain on the world stage and was part of…

Netherbyres House creative shoot came from a lovely invitation. We had the offer to come and a creative shoot there, while the UK was still in lockdown. Luckily commercial shoots were still allowed to go ahead with all the guidance to be followed. Because of the limited numbers allowed, I didn’t go on the day to the shoot. I was really (nervous &) excited to see the images, as I had not been part of it. And I absolutely loved how it all looked. Thanks so much to Jasmin Bauer Photography for working really hard pulling it all together styling…

Sicily Wedding Dress A wedding dress for a wedding in Sicily sounds like the stuff dreams are made of. Absolutely delighted to be asked by Shelley to make her beautiful dress for her. Shelley’s husband-to-be is from Scotland. We managed to do the wedding dress fittings when Shelley was up from Kent for family visits in Edinburgh. That Dress! So, the dress is made in a beautiful 100% silk crepe. The silk crepe made a fitted soft fishtail skirt with a big train. The top is essentially a mesh bodice with hand-stitched lace on top. Taking great care to find…

Emerald green wedding dress was Eimear’s bold choice, and we loved working on it. We’ve worked with brides from Edinburgh, all over the UK and beyond to create beautiful coloured wedding gowns. The traditional wedding dress shops rarely stock wedding dresses other than ivory, cream, white or perhaps champagne, if you are lucky. But we make quite a few bespoke coloured dresses, and we LOVE it. When you are considering a coloured wedding dress, you must really think it through. You must take into consideration there may be some people finding it strange. So deal with that in your head…
