Summer Wedding at Dalmahoy

Sarah came in to see me after having tried a lot of dresses on. She had ideas of what she wanted to wear but had not been able to find it in the shops.

We looked at different shapes and fabrics, and Sarah chose a lovely zibeline skirt and a beaded Chantilly lace bodice with a crystal embellishment on the front on the belt.

It as an absolute pleasure working with Sarah and dress her.

Flowers by Fiona Halliburton did the lovely flowers, and Sarah was so lucky that her sister did a stunning job with hair and makeup.

Sarah had chosen the beautiful Dalmahoy for her wedding and family friends called Shaun and John Cumming trading under the name Roamin Scot took the photographs and kindly let us share them with you.

Sarah was so lucky that her talented sister was able to do both hair and make up for her wedding so nicely.

I have so much admiration for Sarah for not only doing a full-time job, and organising a wedding but she and her fiance was bought a house and did it up in their spare time too, and it was amazing to get updates when I saw Sarah, all the best wishes to you for the future.

Summer Wedding in The Old Town of Edinburgh

Caroline had us recommended by one of our lovely customers we have been working with for years. It was such a pleasure meeting with her and hear her ideas for her wedding. She wanted something quite informal.

We did a bit of playing around with different cuts and styles, and she settled for a dress with a panelled skirt in silk dupion with silk organza overlay. She then had a boned bodice with Guipure lace overlay. The dress had internal corset and buttons and loops at the back and beautifully finished with lined all over in a Satin lining.

We were subsequently asked to make Caroline's mums outfit for the wedding, and we love how that turned out too. She went for a printed cotton dress, and a silk dupion Fuchsia pink coat. It was very striking and I love how that too turned out.

Caroline had chosen some amazing suppliers, she is a member of the Canongate Kirk, I just love the light in that place. They had then booked the Timberyard for the reception.

It was a pleasure that Chris and Gill from The Curries, were booked to shoot the wedding. It has been years since we had a wedding together, so it was a pleasure and they kindly allowed us to share their work.

Caroline said after her wedding: "I was really worried about my dress, not knowing what I wanted and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the options, but Mette talked me through some ideas, really listened to what I was after and picked up on the style and feel of our wedding to produce something that worked perfectly for the day"

Zest for Wedding

For years I have watched Louise's beauty business Zest Skin Spa grow and develop, I have always admired her skills for having a business head and being a lovely person, both at the same time. So I was over the moon when she asked us to make her wedding dress for her.

She had the shoes before the dress, an absolutely super lovely gift from the groom, and we made the dress to match these dream Valentino shoes.

Louise had ideas of the cut of the dress. She chose a beautiful sand washed silk crepe which and a soft silk satin for accent texture.

We cut her dress as a full circle and a deep V-neck.  We had a zip made to run down the back of her dress, with the tape in the colour of the amazing Valentino shoes and the zip had gold teeth to match.

The wedding was a very sophisticated New York elopement.

I think Louise makes an absolutely stunning bride and I love how the soft silk hangs so nicely on her.

Thank you so much for, Everly Studios for letting us use the images.
