Sequins and stunning lace and beautiful headdress… so proud, I felt it all came together perfectly. So lovely that Moira had heard about Freja from a few different people and she came in to talk about her wedding dress. She had some ideas and I pointed her towards this beautiful sophisticated lace. The lace is a contemporary design with a scallop leafy design and shimmering sequins. The lace is made with a textured thread that looks like linen and gives it lots of character. The Dress also had a deep cowl neck collar on the back. It was made in…

Scottish Norwegian alliance This beautiful wedding was a long time coming. Fiona and Mharit asked us to make Mharits wedding dress, this made my day. This in fact goes a long way back, in fact, January 2019. Planning a wedding is hard. Add into that, 2 countries. Then add covid. The wedding was planned a few times over, and each time re-arranged due to Covid. Each time was so upsetting. But eventually, they got their perfect day. I loved Mharit’s story. Beautiful talented young Scottish silver and goldsmith (see her beautiful work here), falling in love with a Norwegian man…

  Jumpsuits for weddings, I think my new favourite thing. I think Rachel wore it better than anyone. I was over the moon when Rachel contacted me about her picking a jumpsuit for her Scottish Highland wedding. She had fixed ideas on style and together we chose the fabrics to achieve the soft heavy drape of the palazzo pant style trouser part and smooth dull satin for the bodice. We structured the bodice with heavy interlining and bones to make it super sharp looking. I love the contemporary look of it. Rachel bought a mesh wrap to wear over the…

Short Champagne wedding dress for an intimate wedding at the Carberry Tower.  This is such a gorgeous wedding which finally got to go ahead after the covid restrictions.

She had a chantilly lace overlay on the bodice. The bodice had a wide neckline and a beaded lace trim on the hem. She had little cap sleeves with a scalloped hem.  All fully bespoke for her. It has been such a pleasure working with…

4th time lucky Wedding – seems to be the rule for Johanna and her husband. They organised their wedding 4 times over, each time disappointed that covid restrictions came in the way. But in the end, they got the absolutely perfect day. Absolutely worth all the hassle. They decided what was important for them and it was to have a beautiful day in company with close friends and family. This was exactly what they had. The venue was the Ballintaggart farm in Perthshire. The lovely farm known for beautiful food and views was the perfect venue. Scotland showed the best…

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…

Catriona came alone to the meetings and fittings as due to the lockdown her parents in East…

From the minute we heard from Mary, we loved all her ideas of a wedding in the garden on the amazing estate called  The Haining near Selkirk. It looks absolutely stunning and they could provide all that the young couple wanted for their big day. Mary is a rare breed as the bride goes, as this is her first and only attempt at a wedding. She is so lucky, she didn’t swap and change the date and venue, and numbers many times over. This Bride is one of my own heart, a real outdoors girl who loves horses and dogs….
