Sea Pearl and lace in Cyprus


When i met Joan, she assured me she didn't want anything too "Weddingy" for her Cyprus wedding... Well that is fine, that is allowed. But each thing i designed wasn't quite "Weddingy" enough... so here we are. a gorgeous lace skirt with satin bodice and a lace bolero overlay. Its all soft and light for the September heat in Cyprus.

The lace is ivory lace and a sea pearl silk satin backing it. So glad for what she went for. I love the colour and it made the lace stand out much more in the strong sunshine.

Joan's head dress was made from the lace by Bridget Webster Millinary.  They all had a fab time and when the bride and groom was back, they had a lovely Scottish Celebration for friends and family.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Joan, and we love how it all came together in the sunshine,















here is Joan's lovely testimonial:

Just wanted to say an enormous thank you for making me such an amazing wedding dress. It was just so perfect for our wedding in Cyprus. In the bright sunshine and blue skies, the pearly silk behind the lace showed off the pattern of the lace perfectly. The lace bolero was exquisite and I am still amazed and in love with the detail at the back! The hair piece made from a piece of the lace was ingenious as well. Everyone loved the dress and I felt so comfortable and glamorous in it! It all contributed to a fabulous wedding day.
I had never had a dress designed and made for me before but you made the whole experience painless, fun and stress free.
I was excited to wear it again for our second celebration back in the UK and then aghast at some chocolate stains which were on it.....however drama averted due to your help in arranging a speedy dry clean so it was as good as new for our second event.
I have no hesitation in recommending you....... and with two daughters I am sure we will be back!

Chantilly lace dress for city wedding

One of our favorite venues, one of our favorite laces. So pleased to make this gorgeous dress in this very fine Chantilly lace.

Lynne chose to wear it with little cap sleeves, Deep V-neck at the back and a embellished tulle belt.

She had gorgeous flowers from Rose and Ammi Flowers, and Julie Tinton Photography took lovely photographs at this gorgeous Mansfield Traquair wedding.
