Fun and beautiful wedding at The Hub

Joanna got engaged over Christmas, and soon after was in touch. she had ideas of what she wanted and we looked at different fabrics and cuts, beads and trims and other details. She soon settled for what she wanted.. then she went away to loose some weight. She blew me away with her determination, and she looked so so different when the wedding was much closer and we had to get started on her dress.

In the meantime we got on with her bridesmaids dresses, Joanna chose a Windsor blue shot chiffon, and the colour really suited both bridesmaids and the lovely Canongate Kirk. Joanna's mother Annie, decided for a simple silk crepe dress with corded lace coat over in a pale blue colour, she had a hat from Alex Muir, and for the evening she took the lace coat off and had an elaborate belt of chiffon, crystal beading and roses.

Joanna's dress was made in pale ivory douppion silk and had a Chantilly lace overlay on the bodice. The dress had an internal corset which was laced up and then buttons and loops over the top of that. The silk was ruched to the side on the front, and then hand beading with Aurora Borealis Swarovski crystals over the folds.

She also had a 2 tier veil with a bias binding.
The flowers were from Planet flowers. Hair was done by JD Bridal Hair.

The reception was to be held in The Hub and Callanish was playing for the Ceilidh.

It’s been an absolute joy working with everyone at this wedding, all so excited to have a fun and beautiful relaxed wedding. It was so nice for us to make all the outfits and get them to tie in together.

Susi & Paul's Wedding at The Hub, Edinburgh

Susi came to see us last year, she had decided to have her dress made for different reasons, one being she is around 5 foot tall and she had tried a lot of dresses on which absolutely drowned her and she couldn't get a feel for how the real dress would be when it had a whole foot cut off.  But she also wanted a dress which was truly hers and that she had been much more part of the process of making it.


Susi tells me she now feels her dress has its own story with all the conversations and decisions we made along the route to her perfect dress.


Susi had princess style dress, it had motifs with beading on attached close together on the bodice and then less and less down her skirt. She had an internal corset, and buttons and loops at the back. The dress had many layers of netting in different weights. The top layer of the dress was made in the finest netting the same netting as is used for veils.

It was a very fun wedding to be part of, not only was it in The Hub, Edinburgh, which we love, Susi had hair and make up from our friends Rosie Fraser Make-up and Charlene Princess Cut Bridal Hair.


After her wedding i was told how special it was to walk up the royal mile in her wedding dress with her dad and her sister and niece and all the tourists were cheering on them and wishing her good luck.


We were fortunate enough that Susi agreed to be one of our models after her wedding, and she truly rocked the catwalk at the wedding show in Edinburgh Botanics Fashion Show
