Summer wedding with Chantilly Lace and silk mesh

Ohh,,, this is one we will not forget in a hurry... when Lois came in to see us the first time, she  had the most amazing wedding suppliers lined up, and when we met her, we just loved her and knew we had to make her dress.

The dress Lois went for was a lace dress, with sheer silk mesh on the neckline. The lace was a lovely Chantilly lace in ivory with a deep scallop. The lace was backed with a duchess satin and had the silk netting on her neckline where the full lace bishop sleeves was attached. The dress had internal corset with a lace up and then buttons and loops over.

We have been so happy to see the entire look completed with the ceremony in Colinton Parish Church, and reception at The Balmoral Hotel. The cool bridesmaids dresses are from Bebaroque. Lovely flowers from Planet Flowers. Her gorgeous headpiece was by the lovely Janet at Rene Walrus. Elemental Photography took the lovely photographs and so kindly let us use them.

Beautiful Summer Wedding in East Lothian

This wedding was a record for us on so many levels.. This, I am sure, is the most dresses we have ever made to one event.
Steph contacted us originally as she was a friend of a friend from more than one side.. so nice.
Steph had very sophisticated ideas of how she wanted to look on her big day. She tried pretty much all our sample dresses.. and needless to say.. looked gorgeous in them all.
So we started to work on her ideas, the details, fabrics and feel she wanted.
Steph settled for a corded, sequined and beaded lace top with a very low back and straps. She then had a very full skirt with build in train in sand washed silk crepe.
She had a cathedral length 2 tier length veil to go with the dress.
Then Steph started to enquire about bridesmaids dresses, she settled for a dusky lilac chiffon Changeant and a godet insert at the back.
Then her mum came along to get her outfit made, Steph's mum had picked up gorgeous silk brocade from Joel & Son Fabrics, London, it was 2 different patterns the finer for the dress and the bigger daisy pattern for the coat. The coat outfit was lined and finely edged with a gorgeous paisley patterned silk lining.

Bride, bridesmaid and mother of bride all wore head dresses from Rene Walrus. Hair was by Dickson Reid Hairdressers by Maria Carmela Chierdhia, both close friends of the bride.

Stephs gorgeous ring was from Macintyres of Edinburgh

Fiona Cumming Floristry made the floral decoration, again a family friend, they were so lovely and completed the light sophisticated summery feel.  and there was beautiful stationary from White Blossom Designs.

And then a couple of guests and close family friends came to get their outfits done.. it was an absolute honor to be invited.. (so i guess my dress had to be made too).

The ceremony was held in St Michael's Church Eskbank and the wedding in a marquee supplied by best Best Intent Marquees, at Stephs parents house. The food was by Ginger Snap

The entire wedding was so so beautiful and the entire Boyd family was so nice generous and kind to deal with.

Julie Tinton Photography took the lovely photographs and kindly let us share them.
