Autumn wedding in Edinburgh Botanic Garden


Hannah and Geraint got engaged in Edinburgh, and so decided to have their wedding here. 

All friends and family travelled from England and Wales for the wedding which made it so special for the young couple. We were over the moon when Hannah decided that her wedding dress should also be made in Edinburgh.

Hannah has been such a fun girl to work with, she planned lots of fun details for her wedding. The wedding was in the Botanics... outside.. in October.. it was wonderful and atmospheric. (i couldn’t help myself and went for a wee peek)

Hannah looked gorgeous in her dress, it was a heavy matte silk satin skirt with deep pleats, she had a guipure lace overlay on the bodice, internal lace-up and buttons. She also had a little jacket in a mix of wool and linen.

Hannah had her flowers from Planet Flowers and Ryan White Photography took the lovely photographs.

Lace, Linen and Seaside Views!

Anna had spent some of her student time in Lyon, France. So when she managed to source the lace for her own dress in Lyon, we were delighted to work with it and create her very personal dress to suit the seaside venue of Golf View Hotel and Spa, Nairn, Nairn, is where Anna's Mum comes from.
The lace was backed with a pure linen, this gave the lace a more "organic-look" we felt. the dress is really fitted and has a concealed zip at the back and hidden internal lace up and corsetry. She has a loose bolero with one button at the neck at the back at the top, and then just hanging loose down to blow in the sea-breeze.
Anna had Chosen amazing Gucci shoes to wear with her dress. 
The wedding florist was Stephen Seedhouse Flowers.
You get a little glimpse of Anna's mum as well, she was in a lovely Aqua colour, we made that too.
Lauren McGlynn Photography managed to capture the whole wedding beautifully, and has so kindly offered us the use of her pictures.
Anna and Brian's wedding has been featured on We Fell In Love Blog

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.
