✨FIRST WEDDING OF 2021!✨ I am beyond excited to say that today I meet my first Ibiza bride since October 2020. I wanted to share this as positive news for my upcoming brides. She has travelled from the UK and has been throughly enjoying the island since arrival.
Although it sounds dramatic, I have almost ‘grieved’ my past life. A niche career I have built for seven years on the island, based on my knowledge of been a wedding dress maker for the past 25 years. I miss the excitement of meeting you, hearing your drunken tales & the privilege of seeing your dress when only those close to you have. I thrive on perfection & to remove every crease due to travel.
Financially you girls have kept me going with your deposits - I am so, so grateful. As a family of four living in Ibiza it is bloody expensive but I am not willing to quit this beautiful place. The wedding industry has been one of the hardest hit here, we are one close family and I want to thank those that have listened to me in my times of feeling sad.
Thankfully I have my dressmaking to fall back on, but sewing from home for the past 18 months with a two year old at my side has nearly finished me off!
With so much talent in this industry on the island I hope, you all too, get your first 2021 wedding very soon x Thank you @the.inlove.photographers for the steaming footage 🤍
✨LAST MINUTE PANIC✨ I will never forget the call from this bride, hours before she was due to leave for her wedding. She had followed all the advice from the boutique - to keep the gown wrapped in its tissue paper, dress bag & hanging having been ensured the gown would travel well and this been all that’s required.
Once at her pre-wedding pamper she unveiled, to her horror, the very creased dress and got my number from Candi @ibizaweddingshop
Unfortunately I was on another wedding that day, but when she told me she just could not get married, I heard the desperation in her voice.
I am not writing this post to bang on about myself. Just to say that this day was so stressful for the both of us - with only 30 minutes to steam the dress before the cars arrived!
Some fabrics do fair better than others but satin will always crease regardless.
If you would like to discuss your dress fabric please drop me a DM. For those pre-purchase who wish to book a slot for your dress, veil, bridesmaids or menswear head over to my website & complete the contact form where I offer a low, transferable deposit.
