Hands up if a dusk to dawn wedding sounds super cool? ? ❤️❤️❤️
Inside the Atelier, I am passionate about the smallest of details. From the way the light catches a silk gown at different angles to the drape, the handle, and the movement of a gown when it takes centre stage.
I also love chatting with my brides about the venue and the plans throughout the day, so that we can plot and imagine just how the dress will behave in each situation and setting.
Here are a few of my favourite gowns, and personally, I LOVE them all because each one embodies a different character with a narrative of its one.
Which one is your fav, I am dying to know?
Happy weekend all
😘😘

Finding The Perfect Wedding Day Shoe
by bridal expert Cynthia Grafton-Holt
Choosing the perfect shoe for the big day should be easy and straight forward, BUT, so many brides end up buying the wrong pair of shoes that turn the whole process into a mini meltdown?
Buying your shoes with your heart rather than waiting until you have your dress or, your wedding dress is near completion spells trouble ahead!
With so many different shades of ivory from off white to chalk and sand, it is easy to think that shoe and dress will match only to find you got it wrong.
So here’s what you need to know:
✔ Dress First, Shoes Second – Your gown sets the tone, so choose your dress before selecting shoes to ensure a flawless match.
✔ Break Them In – Wear your shoes around the house for a few hours each day before the big day—you and your shoes should feel like the perfect pair!
✔ Comfort is Key – Style is important, but so is being able to walk, dance, and enjoy every moment effortlessly. Choose a pair that feels as good as they look!
✔ Choose a heel that will cope with the location such as wedge heel, sandals or bare foot is great on the beach.
Block heels are great on gravel, lawns and countryside landscapes.
Stilettoes are great for landmark venues, with mostly flat surfaces, carpets etc
Which style are you leaning toward? Let us know in the comments! 👇✨

“I help brides who don’t want a dress that is typically bridal but who want to look elegant and feel confident on their big day. Often, the search for timeless elegance is combined with creating a dress that is exclusively designed and hand crafted in silk without the huge price tag that accompanies a designer wedding dress. A dress that is perfectly fitted in all the right places - leaving my client free to enjoy the occasion oozing with self confidence.
QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERTISE
Having trained in the art of couture dressmaking and mastering the skill of handling and working in luxury fabrics. I am one a few highly skilled London dress designers capable of achieving impeccable fitted gowns with appropriate balance and style for the individual. Also, having crafted bespoke gowns for high profile clients, requires deep understanding, patience and innovative creativity to mould and redefine the body [without surgery]. In short, I could [probably] craft any gown with minimal fittings [one of which could take place online] having done so many times over the years. But there is nothing that I enjoy more than working one-to-one with clients and the joy of seeing their transformation as the gown progresses at each fitting.
I LOVE WORKING WITH BRIDES…
Helping brides look and feel their utmost best fills me with pride. I love working with clients who have an innate understanding of the artistry, time and years of dedications behind the making of a couture bridal gown. Clients who recognise and who trust my advice and skills to deliver excellence every time.
