Sara's sister had her wedding dress from us a few years ago, so we were delighted to be asked to make her bridesmaids dresses for her wedding in Carberry Tower.
Sara's 3 bridesmaids were very different body shapes and colouring, so Sara decided to go for the same colour and fabric for all 3 of them, and then they chose their own styles.
We the end result was great, sometimes people just look more different when you try too hard to get them to look the same.
Shona went for a short, boned, strapless, circle skirt dress with sweetheart neckline and circle skirt.Tanya went for full length slight mermaid style inspired by a Disney princess.
Nicole went for a deep neckline and small sleeves and circle skirt with sloping hemline.
We love how each dress suited each girl.
It was a lovely autumn wedding, Hair was done by Keith Marshall Hairdressing and Make up by Lucy Gourlay - LG Make-up.
Photographs were taken by Sean Bell Photography, who kindly let us have some images to share with you.

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.

Wintry wedding at the Bonham hotel
Alison came to see us with a short concise brief for her wedding dress. She wanted luxurious fabrics, lace top, no train, simple a-line. Her wedding was going to be a small wintry intimate family affair in the Bonham Hotel. She went for a skirt in a silk zibeline, it gave a really rich and wintry texture to her dress and a lovely contrast for the very fine pretty chantilly empire line bodice, which was to go on top of her dress. The dress is a soft dress with very light boning. She wrote to us after and said: "Thank you again for making me such a lovely wedding dress.. it really helped to make the whole day such a great experience and was just perfect". Alison it was lovely working with you and we delighted for the opportunity to show you off on the blog. The lovely photographs are taken by Neil Denham at Denham weddings .

dark navy and pink bridesmaids dresses
Catherine ordered 4 bridesmaids dresses from us. We were excited about her ideas of her Dundas Castle wedding and Flowers from Planet flowers and lovely Autumnal feel to the day. The girls were lovely to work with. We made 3 adult bridesmaids dresses, one which was a maternity dress, and one dress for Catherine's gorgeous teenage niece. Catherine chose a dark navy and a pale pink for her niece, it looked so lovely for that season and with lovely soft textured bouquets to match. We were blown away by Sarah Elizabeths Photographs, and we were ready to move into the castle. It was a real pleasure working with Catherine, and we are very proud of the result.

long sleeved vintage style wedding dress
Effie was one of our many brides this year who stays in London, live a really busy life and couldn't just pop in during lunch break. Lucky enough her sweet mum came to see us and enquire initially on her behalf. We made some initial contact, and when we first met the bride it was a joy. She had given so much thought to her dress. She brought in a fantastic family album with pictures of her relatives, who had married in dresses, we were to take inspiration from.We ended up with a matte silk duchesse silk satin dress. It has long sleeves and cross over folds on the front. With the dress she wore a 2 tier long veil with a lovely heavy corded lace edging. The veil softened the sharp lines of the dress, and made it much softer and feminine. We love the choice of her Hairdo and makeup. I think it gave the bride an overall almost regal appearance. The ceremony was held in the family church in North Berwick, and was very personal conducted by the brides uncle. The Reception was held in a marquee by her parents home. We love Sally Cuthberts Photography of the day. Thank you for providing us with images.

Ivory silk dress with beaded silk motifs
Sarah's sister had had a lovely evening dress made by us, so we were delighted to be asked to make Sarah's wedding dress soon after she was engaged. Sarah went for a lovely silk chiffon satin, she had a simple clean silhouette created by internal boning and corset. Then she went for lovely beaded motifs attached all over so it was close together on the bodice, and then faded out on the dress. We really liked how Sarah Bard styled her hair and her make up was done by Hannah Ostunio. The wedding was in the Calvary Chapel, York. Her photographs were taken by Caelen Weber Photography and he has kindly given us permission to share them with you. We wish Sarah and Dylan all the best for the future, we were delighted to be given the opportunity to work with you.
