Destination Wedding Gibraltar

Absolutely fab wedding to be part of, Dawn is such fun and so kind..it still makes me smile, that at our first meeting, she told me it was going to be a destination wedding... either hot or cold... well there is something for me to work to.

Then Dawn's loving husband to be, made decision for a fabulous location for the wedding. His inspiration led Dawn to me and the team at Freja, and the wonderful hosts at the Mons Calpe Suite and Caleta Hotel.

Dawn says: "It's been a whirlwind of beautiful people with exceptional talents that made our special day so very memorable. Thank you for being such an important part of it all xx"

The wedding ended up being a gorgeous spring wedding in Gibraltar. It just looks so so great. Cable car to the top of the point where the ceremony took place and then celebrations galore in hotel. Lots of friends and family took time out to come and celebrate for days with Kevin and Dawn.

We made Dawn an empire line silk chiffon dress. The empire line was marked by a deep band. She had a detachable mesh bolero, with hand embellishment. The veil was hand finished, with the same embellishment.

Dawn had such an eye for detail and is used to planing, for the wedding, nothing was left unplanned, and it shows, what a lovely time they had away.

It was such a pleasure to work with Dawn and we are delighted to get to show off the gorgeous wedding.

Chiffon Circle skirt and lace for pretty summer wedding

Hannah came with our business recommended from more than one person.. how nice!

She stays in London so she came to see me first time over her Christmas visit to her parents’ home in Edinburgh.

Hannah had different ideas which we discussed, with a bit of sketching up done, and some draping up fabrics on a tailors dummy, Hannah had an idea of the dress she would like. We then made the Calico Toile. A trial version of her dress in sheet fabric.

Her dress was made in a lovely corded lace and a full circle polyester chiffon skirt and a lace bolero which tied at the back in a big bow.

She really liked the cut, and that made us move on to the real fabric. The first fitting in the real fabric fitted really really well, and we made some tweaks.. like making the skirt fuller and a changed the dept of the belt.

Hannah’s dress was soon finished with a minimum number of fittings.

We were delighted when Hannah's mum asked us to make her outfit too. she went for a lace dress and douppion silk jacket.

Hannah's wedding was in St Davidson's Mains Parish Church and reception in Old Convent, Napier College, Craiglockhart, the flowers were by Bloemen Ecke. Hair and makeup by Jak Morgan


Hannah's lovely photographs were taken by Kitchener Photography. We thank everybody for their lovely work and not least the photographer for letting us use the photographs.

Muscari blue spring wedding in Edinburgh Botanics

Sophie has a beautiful almost elfin look about her. I was delighted to be asked to make her dress and i knew straight away it had to be something that would not over whelm her fine features.

I suggested a heavy guipure lace, cut very fitted over a sweet heart neckline silk bodice with internal lace up and covered silk buttons. she had a fairly fitted heavy silk crepe skirt with a full circle skirt in fine french silk chiffon overlay.

Sophie's favorite colour was represented by a cornflower blue ruched silk chiffon belt with hand made roses and sashes at the back.

The wedding was a lovely family affair in the Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens. The grooms family came from Asia and Australia and Edinburgh showed its wonderful best sides.  The flowers were done by Planet Flowers, Lucy Gourlay from LG Make-up did Sophie's make up, and Ryan White Photography took the lovely photographs, and kindly supplied us with them.


Sophie and Albert will have another wedding celebration in Taiwan and one in Australia, i am so pleased Sophie will wear her dress again, she has had the train cut off, and she dyed her wedding shoes the lovely cornflower blue and the dress is fit for a less formal occasion in a hotter climate.

It was a pleasure making Sophie's dress and delighted to get to work with some of my favorite industry friends again.
