Gorgeous wedding dress with lace and champagne accent colour

Becky wanted a simple wedding dress with a full skirt and lace on the bodice, she was set on having it with a bit of colour instead of all Ivory.

She went for this gorgeous lace which has an ivory base, but embroidery and beading in champagne shades. She had a full circle skirt in a soft ivory satin and a champagne satin belt on the dress.

The buttons and loops at the back finished the look off.  Ohhh and some gorgeous Royal blue suede shoes. 

The whole wedding was stunning and had lots of personal touches, one being a big wall of 1000 paper cranes.

So pleased also to be asked to make Becky's mums gorgeous outfit, i simple soft silk satin dress with a bolero jacket, it really complemented Becky's dress, and she finished it with Fuchsia details so it had the same Wow colour as Becky's outfit. 

We loved being part of it, and was delighted with Laura A Tiliman Photography photographs of Bride and Groom and all the guests and the lovely venue Norton House Hotel .

here is what Becky wrote about us... it totally made my day:

Freja Designer Dressmaking is one of the best wedding dress designers and dressmakers! It stood out from all others in the industry for many reasons: Mette’s fantastic customer service, her amazing creativity, and of course her simply stunning designs!
Mette first welcomed me and my mum into her shop like long lost friends, making me instantly at ease – not easy for the nervous wreck I had become whilst searching for ‘THE’ wedding dress! Mette listened attentively to what I felt I wanted from the dress, sketching ideas, and inspiring me to actively take part in the design process. I felt that Mette really listened to what I wanted whilst injecting her own thoughts and style into the design. My brief to Mette was something flowy, but with structure, and maybe lace but not too much. Vague as ever, but as we spoke she sketched this gorgeous dress which had been exactly what I had been thinking of.
Throughout all my fittings, Mette constantly checked with me ensuring that the dress being created was true to what I wished for and had hoped. Mette willingly draped fabric after fabric on me, so I could see myself how each element of the dress would look, leading me on the design process and ensuring that I fell in love with every aspect of the dress. The fittings were always great fun, filled with laughter and excitement. Mette demonstrated an impeccable attention to detail, not settling for anything other than perfection! She was always going the extra mile to ensure I got exactly what I wanted and making me feel special.
On the day the dress was perfect! It made me feel amazing, I felt (and still do) that the dress fitted with the simple elegance we had hoped to achieve on the day.

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
