Beautiful Vegas Wedding

Lisa organised a beautiful wedding in Las Vegas over many months.

It was perfect, as it gave a small group of friends and family the opportunity for a holiday and for spending time together while the lovely couple got married.

We were delighted to make Lisa's dress, it was a pure silk cowl neck dress with a crystal belt and internal lace up and buttons and loops at the back.

Lisa also had a planner in Las Vegas, the planner was 702 Vegas Weddings, and they also took the photographs.

Thank you 702 Vegas Weddings for letting us show our work off.

Allie & Archie at Dalmahoy

All weddings are so special, but this wedding, in particular, stole my heart.

Allie and Archie met on a train when he sat in her seat, after Archie had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and just finished Chemotherapy, and had a really bad outlook.

But Archie fought the tumour against all odds now got to a stage where there is no measurable tumour.

After many years in the Army, he has now devoted his life to physical activity and raising money for charities, (you can read more here www.beatthebeastchallenge.co.uk) and not least devoted to Allie.

They had a wonderful intimate ceremony in Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club. Allie had planned lots of beautiful details for the day, her hair was done by Kirsty Macpherson and the flowers were done by Garlands Florist

We were so delighted to make her dress for her.

The super little Beetle was from Tartan Dubs.

We made her a zibeline panelled dress with guipure lace sleeved bolero, both Allie and her Mum had lots of input on the dress, and we loved working with them both.

Paul Gavin Photography, kindly supplied us with lovely photographs from the day.

1920es Flapper style dress for Royal Mile Wedding

It's lovely when you get enquiries from brides with a slightly different wedding. Kate was one of those brides, she was planning a very small intimate affair in Hotel Du Vin, and then a big party afterwards where her and the groom were planning to boogie to the early hours. Kate wanted a dress to cover both events.

She went for a super simple 1920s cut dress, but making it in an exclusive beaded chantilly lace made it a super special dress fitting for both events on her big day.

Kate and her Groom took an hour out of the day to take a walk on the Royal Mile together with Stuart Craig Photography, and we lovely the fun relaxed images we got in return.

Thank you for letting us feature your lovely dress and to Stuart for his always great work.

Beautiful wedding dress in silk and guipure lace for early Spring Wedding

Making Emma's wedding dress was an absolute pleasure. She came to see me with her lovely Danish Mum and told me about her very personal intimate wedding where nothing was left to coincidence, but lots of lovely Vegetarian foods and cakes and spring flowers and beautiful personal touches.

She went for a simple wedding dress with Cotton guipure lace and long sleeves, and a full circle silk organza skirt. It was so lovely to dress such a beautiful tall bride.

Emma did her immaculate make-up herself.

The Venue was this fab venue we have not worked with before, it was perfect for this celebration, keeping everything in house Emma tells me. The venue is Kirkhill Mansion, only 9 miles from Edinburgh.

Thank you to her Photographer Sarah Elms for letting us show her lovely day.

Here is  what Emma wrote to us after her wedding:

"Getting my dress designed and tailor-made was absolutely the best decision I made for my wedding. No stress, no trying on bad dresses, and a perfect dress at the end of it (actually really reasonable budget wise too) I had the most lovely dress designer as well, it was always a pleasure seeing her!"

Sarah's All Over Guipure Lace Dress

Sarah had a dress made by us for reeling years ago. We were so pleased she liked the experience and came back to get her wedding dress from us too.

She had some really lovely ideas for a dress which was special and had the wow factor, but which was not too formal, and had a bit of a soft organic feel to it.

We loved how her look turned out. She had a lovely soft guipure lace, it had an almost retro feel to it. The lovely lace was backed by a doupion silk which also made the belt.

The lace had a lovely scallop edging, which we added to the hem and armholes.

We loved how Sarah was styled, hair and make-up fairly soft and natural. Sarah's friend Adelaide, of Adelaide's Secret Garden, did all the floral decorations in the marquee, St Giles Cathedral and The Archers Hall with Scottish grown flowers. The marquee was set to the back of The Archers Hall.

We love the way Suzanne Black Photography captured the wedding and let us use the images.

Laurinda's Sophisticated Wedding Dress

Laurinda came to see us with super exciting and sophisticated ideas for a lovely wedding dress with lots of traditional elements, but also with some contemporary details and in a soft colour.

She ended up with a lovely silk satin dress in champagne silk, an ivory lace overlay with gold beads on, and a detailed crystal belt sitting on a deep silk satin band.

She also had lovely little buttons down the back.

The bride and groom had chosen a lovely intimate ceremony in The Bonham Hotel and used the beautiful spaces around the hotel for their wedding portraits.

Laurinda chose the gorgeous soft coloured floral decorations, created by Kate at The Stockbridge Flower Company, to match her sophisticated theme of the wedding.

It was such a pleasure making this dress for her and we love the photographs taken by Sarah from Pictorial Photography.
