A stunning Edinburgh University tartan dress. The Dress Patricia’s outfit consisted of a two-piece with a short knee-grazing georgette skirt on the bottom and a corset-style bodice on top. The bodice is made up of tartan and chantilly lace. The chantilly lace muted the colours of the tartan on the bodice, which helped them pop on the sleeves. Additionally, the lace is similar to the style on Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, which is popular and super elegant. Short dresses are something we don’t do a lot of. However, we love them and wish we did more!! The Tartan The couple…

Green Spring Silk Lace Wedding Dress
What an excitement to get asked to make this green silk lace wedding dress for Maxine. Green silk and lace Wedding Dress When she came to see me she pretty much had her whole wedding organised, apart from her dress. Maxine had a vision in green, but nothing set in stone. She wanted colour texture and not the usual wedding dress, she wanted to be able to dance and move and and feel fab and flatter her shape. So with all of that taken into account, we looked at a lot of materials and green colours and vintage style laces….
Simple Silk Crepe Wedding Dress and Jacket
Simple silk Crepe Wedding Dress and jacket was the brief from Sophie. At our first meeting Sophie had a really good idea what she would like, so together we developed the ideas and chose the silk crepe for the simple dress and jacket. The silk had a sand-washed finished, so it was so soft, it felt like a peach. Sophie then chose a lace for the back detail of the dress. Because the dress was so simple it was important with beautiful details such as little buttons down the back and on the sleeves. We knew she needed some kind…

Borthwick Castle Wedding
Stunning dress at Borthwick Castle Borthwick Castle is a beautiful venue, and so needed a beautiful dress. This beautiful bride came to me with ideas of nude-champagne colours, gold thread, beaded embellishments and silk mesh. This was altogether in a soft layered textured combination for her beautiful wedding dress. We absolutely love the results. I want to show you a little about how the dress was constructed. As it had many layers, we, therefore, had to make the dress in stages. We started with the silk base and then added the beaded lace over the skirt. Then on the dummy,…
Wedding at Dunblane Cathedral
Dunblane Cathedral Wedding Amanda’s wedding took place at the stunning Dunblane Cathedral. They had their wedding reception in the old church’s house and then went for an evening meal at Cromlix.
