Lots and lots of lovely chinese silk organza

It has been such a pleasure working with Laura. Very early on it became clear to me that nothing would be left to coincidence for her beautiful wedding to Jordan. They had booked the wonderful Crear Weddings venue on the remote coast of Argyll. They chose Craig from McBeth Photography to take their lovely photographs - his love of photographing scenery and quirky style was just what they were looking for. Gryffe Weddings were there to capture the day on video.

Laura went for an ivory silk organza wedding dress, in a mermaid shape, with a long full train and organza straps. The dress had an internal corset and covered buttons on the back, sweet heart neckline and removable bustle at the back. We also made her fingertip-length, satin trimmed ivory veil. We so enjoyed making this dress, and I hope you love the result.  An incredible 250 meters of silk organza strips are attached individually on this amazing dress.

Thank you to Craig at McBeth Photography and Gryffe Weddings for letting us show off their amazing work. Laura's make up and hair was by The Aisle Bridal Hair and Make Up, and her headdress was by
Corrine Smith Design . Laura and Jordan's wonderful cake was made by Karen Bonnar Cakes. The vintage glassware and china were hired from The Green Cockatoo.


All the best for the future for Laura and Jordan

Victoria's Full Length Lace Dress with long train and diamant shaped straps


Victoria came to us looking for a dress to wear for her early spring wedding in Dunkeld Cathedral and later at Ballathie House Hotel.  We made her a dress from a beautiful ivory corded lace with a satin backing.  It had a big train and an internal bustle. We made a veil with lace trim to go with it.  We also made her two younger bridesmaids dresses in royal blue satin.  The photographer, Peter Keyser kindly allowed us to use his images. The beautiful cake was his wife's work Silla Keyser Cakes, the  flowers were arranged by Louise Mackenzie from The Pretty Amazing Company.It was an absolute pleasure working with Victoria and her Bridesmaids and we wish them all the best for the future.

Lucy's dress for her Wedding at Crear, Argyll

When we first met Lucy, she had a few cut outs from magazines of lovely vintage style lace, swishy skirts and amazing visions for her and Matheu's wedding at the stunning venue Crear Weddings, Kilberry, Argyll.

Lucy was very involved in the design of her dress and chose a guipore lace which was similar to the laces of a lot of the wedding dresses in the early 1970es, but we re-worked it for a much more current look. Lucy had the lace backed with douppion silk and then a silk organza skirt overlay. Internal corset, boning, silk satin ruched belt on the waist, and lovely satin buttons down the back of her dress.

With that Lucy chose a simple edged, fingertip veil.

The wedding was held in the Achahoish Church, and the reception at the Crear, Kilberry all in Argyll.
Catherine Martin at "Style Argyll" did Lucy's wedding hair, and the gorgeous flowers were arranged by Melody at Crear Flowers. The guests were entertained by music from the fabolous The Occasionals Ceilidh Band.
