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…

Beautiful Skye Wedding in an amazing wedding dress on a sunny day. We loved making this wedding dress for Joanna. Like so many others her wedding could not take place in the original form. So instead they did a wonderful small family wedding on Skye with just the family there. The great news for me was that they had plenty of time for the photography as they didn’t have a big party to come back to, and the sun shone and made Isle of Skye look so amazing.  We absolutely love the photographs by Rosie at Love Skye Photography and…

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…

Weight loss, my gift to myself 6 months ago, I suddenly realised I would be 50 in March. I was worried we could still not have parties due to covid. Turning 50, I felt, was a personal milestone and something I should celebrate for myself. In no way am I scared of turning 50; actually, I am very proud I made it. My best friend and older sister did not make it to 40, so I think it is a privilege to make it to 50. I started to think of what I wanted and realised all I wanted was…

After already spending a large portion of their lives together, Lucy and her husband-to-be decided to have a seafront wedding at Ravensheugh Log Cabin in East Lothian. The sea-front venue, actually holds a special place in the couples heart as for a longtime it has been their favourite location for walking their dogs. The sentimental choice of location made for a beautiful, memorable day overlooking the ocean. Indeed, a day that they will remember forever. The couple chose to make the day a special one, surrounded by friends and family. In addition, they even chose to have one of the…

With there being so much uncertainty following many of the weddings we had planned we have found ourselves with a bit of free time we wouldn’t normally have. Although daunting at first, the slow down of pace allowed us to work closer with fellow creatives in our field. A pre-lockdown photoshoot helped us do this. We absolutely love an opportunity to be creative with fellow colleagues.  It’s hard to find time in a busy diary to play and do new things, and explore. Therefore, we jumped at the opportunity. Taking full advantage we decided to work alongside the amazing photographer…

Our Bride Anna definitely had a lot of uncertainty with her wedding date. Anna and her fiance David had their wedding date changed a total of 5 times. This was due to both coronavirus and visa restrictions as the couple was moving from America to Scotland. The wedding took the form of a micro wedding at Windsor Great Hall on November 21st. Although not how they originally though their wedding day would be, the day was still as special as ever. A chandelier on loan from the Queen and official portraits of monarchs decorated the venue. This was enough to…
