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"

Floral Dress for Summer Wedding

A wedding dress with your favorite flowers, was just what Gemma-Rose wanted for her big day.
She had all the ideas with her and she had spoken to a textile artist in Glasgow to paint the many many meters of silk for her dress.

She chose a floral design with Peonies and For-Get-Me-Nots. It was painted on a crisp pure silk in a cream colour which was gorgeous for her complexion.

The dress had a deep V-neck front and back on the lightly boned bodice, a very light but full skirt with pockets at the sides, little covered buttons on the back of the dress, and the same little buttons for cuff-links for the groom as a surprise.

Gemma-Rose had planned an amazing day in her Parents garden, and luckily the weather was on their side for the big day.

I think Geebz Photography had great fun photographing Gemma-Rose's big twirling skirt, and we certainly love sharing their lovely work.
