Pure white wedding dress for the Scottish Highlands

When Penny first came to see us, she had different ideas we explored, a couple of things she was really certain she of was that she wanted no glitzy accessories on the dress, and that she wanted folds in some shape or form.
She decided to go for the silk satin chiffon, the fabric is soft enough to drape and create a cowl neck effect, it is a really soft fabric, but it still has enough body that it didn't appear limp or floppy in the folds. She chose the colour to be white. Only very few girls can wear white, and Penny is one of them it suited her so well. She had an internal corset, boning and covered buttons and loops at the back.
As it would be an autumn day, she chose a fake fur wrap, and veil to match.

I really loved how the whole look came together. It looked stunning with Callum's "Anderson" kilt. The bridesmaids had blue dresses and little capes in Anderson tartan, Penny's mum had made. The wedding was full of thought through personal touches.
The couple was so lucky with the weather, and could make full use of the amazing grounds on the Glen Tanar Estate.

Cotswold Wedding with Vintage details

When Anna came to me she had lovely lovely ideas for her vintage style wedding for her beautiful Cotswold venue. She told me of all the things she would like to incorporate and it left indeed a bit of pressure on me to achieve pretty.
Anna chose a heavy textured Orissa silk with deep box pleats for her skirt,  for her sweetheart neckline bodice with internal lace up and corsetry. She then went for a really pretty beaded lace in ivory with embroidery in Mink colour thread. We picked up the mink colour in a silk satin for her belt on the dress and made fabric roses and sashes for the back also in the mink colour. The dress had an internal tulle bustle at the back which could come out at night time when the dress came up for dancing.
Anna had chosen some amazing suppliers, the wedding was held at the Kings Hotel, Campden her hair was by Nikki at Mode Lapstone and make up by Laura Walton MakeUp. Her accessories was a special birthday present from her family and made to match her dress, made by Claire Archibald at RedRocks.
