Guipore lace by Loch Lomond

Laura is a total super wedding planner.. she had so so many lovely ideas, some picked from Pinterest and personalised and adapted to her wedding.

She had ideas for a slim line lace dress when she came to see me.. she then fell in love with the Guipure laces and we ordered a few larger samples which Laura then chose from.

We made a satin dress with light boning and a small train, we attached the lace overlay to that, and made internal lace up and buttons and loops at the back and wide straps which created a diamond shape at the back.

Laura bought bridesmaids dresses from the high street, which we adapted for her.. we used the off cuts of her dress to make a little guipure lace insert on the V-neck line, and we gave the Bridesmaids a quick class in "how to tie a bow"

Laura had chosen 4 accent colours for shoes, bouquets and nail varnish for the bridesmaids. It looked great and was an original idea.

Laura also had the idea to have 3 little hearts stitched to the inside of her wedding dress, 1 heart was made from her dads old shirt, one from her mums old dress, and one from her grans blouse... it was a lovely and personal touch.

The wedding was held at the beautiful Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luss.

The flowers were by an amazing company called Endrick Blooms and April did a fantastic job bringing the colour scheme to life. Hair and make up was by Vanessa and Angela who were from The Aisle, Bridal Hair and Make-up.

Lauren Hewby from Dumfries Wedding Lounge took the stunning photographs and kindly let us use them.

Vintage inspired city wedding at The Dome, Edinburgh

Melody has such a lot of style. She had really good ideas for her soft vintage wedding, and we were desperate to make her dress for her.

She went for a soft wedding dress with a soft Chantilly lace for the sleeves and beaded belt which was a gift passed on from her friend. We also made her a veil with a scallop lace edge to finish off her vintage look.

Melody made such amazing research to get everything just right, and we were delighted when she got in touch with Kate (also a friend of Freja Designer Dressmaking) the wedding organiser at The Dome, Edinburgh.com, and booked her wedding to be there.

Melody's handpicked suppliers were a photographer friend Simon, who photographed the wedding.  Her flowers were done by Rose and Ammi Flowers

Wedding cake was by Special Days Cakes

And obviously the venue was the spectacular The Dome, Edinburgh

It was a pleasure working with you Melody, and everything looks amazing and perfect... well done for your planing.

Thank you to Simon Forsyth Photography, who took the photographs and let us show them off!
