Edinburgh Summer Wedding with Chantilly lace and Chinese silk organza

Elisabeth was another bride who came all the way from London to ask us to make her a beautiful dress for her wedding. She has been adorable to work with and we achieved making her gorgeous dress with minimum fittings.

She went for a circle skirt in fine Chinese silk organza and a very fine Chantilly lace overlay on the bodice. The bodice was boned and had internal lace up and little buttons and loops at the back and a little key hole detail at the neckline.

The exquisite fine materials made for a very delicate dress to compliment Elisabeth's fine elegant frame.  I love the look so much i feel so looks like a ballerina.

The wedding was held in St Columbas Free Church of Scotland and the reception in The Rivers Suite, Edinburgh Napier University the flowers was from Laura Eberst and Elisabeth's hair and make up was from Made-Up

The lovely ladies at Mirrorbox Photography have so kindly supplied us with their lovely photographs.

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

Black & White Wedding at Dundas Castle

Amy came to us after having tried on a hundreds of dresses in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, she had seen a few she liked, but still not found the right one.
We met with Amy and discussed what we could do for her. Amy settled for a dress with internal corset and Chinese silk organza bias strips all around the dress, in total was over 200 meters of silk organza strips. The strips swirled round and round and made into big flowers on her skirt.
Amy wore a small veil on a simple pearl comb.
For night-time Amy had a black velvet ribbon round her waist for the night time.
Amy decided on black bridesmaids dresses, she had 2 adult bridesmaids in black one shoulder crepe dresses and one younger bridesmaid in an empire line cut dress, with a sash.
We also made Amy's Mum's outfit, she was in a silk - wool jacket in an a-symmetric style. And with that she had a dress in black-beige Chantilly lace, backed with neutral coloured satin.
The whole wedding came together so well with the black and white colour scheme. Ada Breckenridge from "The Flowerhouse, Balerno" had created the floral decorations, Julie Gilchrist created bespoke jewellery, and Iain Grant was the piper and toastmaster for Amy and Dean's wedding at the Dundas Castle.
Amy, her mum and bridesmaids,  have all been so lovely to work with and her dress was such fun to make.
The photographs have been taken by Kevin Walsh Photography. Thank you so much for letting us use them.
