New York wedding celebrations

When Hannah came in to discuss her wedding dress, I was not quite prepared for the inspiration she wanted to share with me.

On one of the first dates the couple had, they visited a costume museum, with an an exhibition on dresses from different era's. They both fell in love with one dress in particular. And Hannah asked us to recreate that for her.

So we went on to sourcing materials and ways of making her dress.

She decided for a french silk chiffon in the colour Wishbone (i love that name) for the main colour and Ultramarine and Sahara for the 2 accent colours.

The dress had a big hoop and sloping hem like the original one at the exhibition.

                       

We loved the unusual look and the big skirt emphasized Hannah's waist and slim legs. 

When the dress was ready the date for the wedding was not yet set. I could not believe the happy coincidence when I ran into Hannah in the airport as she returned from New York, where the bride and groom had gone to celebrate a small and intimate wedding.

I couldn't have enjoyed working with Hannah more than I did, I am so glad they had the wedding they desired and we are proud to share that with you.

Duck egg blue wedding at The Physicians Hall

Ohhh such a lovely wedding to be part of.

Leigh and Tim wanted a beautiful personal day, and that's what they got. The Physicians Hall was perfect for the day they had planned.

It was a fab brief to get for Leigh's' dress, she wanted, short, duck egg blue and aubergine details. The colors were exciting to work with, and so important to get the balance just right.

We love the final result, the colors really suited Leigh.

                                      

The dress is made in a heavy textured silk and a lovely lace overlay on the bodice, Aubergine buttons and internal lace up. There was a purple Petite-coat in a mix of purple colors to give it a bit of fun.


Rene Walrus made a bespoke piece for Leigh which was a hand beaded head piece with a birdcage veil which could come off after the ceremony, and leave the crystallized piece in her hair for the reception, it worked so well with the dress.
