Duck egg blue bridesmaid's dresses and ivory flower girl's and dolls

We were delighted to be asked to make Lucy's bridesmaids dresses and Flowergirls for her wedding in St Marys Kirk, Haddington and reception in Gilmerton House.

Lucy was very involved in the process and wanted to have duck egg blue bridesmaids dresses, She went for a textured Orissa silk, with fitted boned bodices and skirts with deep pleats.
for her Flower girl's she went for lovely ivory douppion silk and tulle skirts. big bows on the back.. then we made identical dresses for little rag dolls as presents for the flower girls. Lucy's dress was from Alan Hannah supplied by Rachel Scott Couture.

Lucy had done so much lovely preparation for her wedding and it all shows on her feature on We Fell In Love Blog.

Mairi Brunning Millinery had made lovely accessories and the beautiful photographs were taken and supplied by First Light Weddings

Cotswold Wedding with Vintage details

When Anna came to me she had lovely lovely ideas for her vintage style wedding for her beautiful Cotswold venue. She told me of all the things she would like to incorporate and it left indeed a bit of pressure on me to achieve pretty.
Anna chose a heavy textured Orissa silk with deep box pleats for her skirt,  for her sweetheart neckline bodice with internal lace up and corsetry. She then went for a really pretty beaded lace in ivory with embroidery in Mink colour thread. We picked up the mink colour in a silk satin for her belt on the dress and made fabric roses and sashes for the back also in the mink colour. The dress had an internal tulle bustle at the back which could come out at night time when the dress came up for dancing.
Anna had chosen some amazing suppliers, the wedding was held at the Kings Hotel, Campden her hair was by Nikki at Mode Lapstone and make up by Laura Walton MakeUp. Her accessories was a special birthday present from her family and made to match her dress, made by Claire Archibald at RedRocks.
Rachel Jones Photography offered us to use her amazing work on our blog, please enjoy!
