I am in process of making this delicate soft feel veil for my bride Lucy. This will require hand stitching as that way I will achieve the flawless finish. I have about 8 m to stitch. What are you making this morning?

More love to be shared! Donna got married 2 weeks ago and took time to send me some photos from her special day. Donna wanted something timeless and we have designed 2 piece dress, dress over dress. Vintage feel lace by just elevated the whole concept to something very special.

Congratulations to Rose and Edward on their vowel renewal. Rose and Edward’s planned to renew their vowels as they christened their first born son. You won’t believe this but Rose is actually expecting their second baby. We have selected gown which did not gave away her stage of pregnancy. Rose has personalised her gown, which was off the peg, by shortening the lining layers and making it more lightweight in layers. We have added lace up at the back to allow for comfort. This gown was blush in colour which complimented her skin tone perfectly and contrasted her luscious hair,I have had an envy of! Well done guys and best wishes for your future. P. S. Message from Rose : The dress was just perfect. Thank you again for your all help and hard work! Xx

I can’t believe we are heading for June already. May was wedding free for myself but June will be making up for it. Prom season is in a full swing as are the exams. This year it is my daughter’s turn and it’s lovely seeing all of her classmates all grown up and looking very glamorous - more about that in June. I have made a decision to close my Etsy shop. It has its hay day and even though I have made about 3K of sales I felt change was needed. But don’t panic I am opening bridal accessories shop on TikTok. Shop is being built up and items added everyday. Bear with. Here is too new beginnings 🥂🍾. You will find me here. https://www.tiktok.com/?_t=8mXYlpSVYA4&_r=1

Another lovely email came my way yesterday. Photos to come soon.

Hi Jitka,
Hope you had a good Easter holiday!
I just wanted to say thanks so much for the gorgeous dress. I really loved wearing it and got so many compliments. Both my bridesmaids individually said how it was ‘very me’. Thanks for being so patient and kind and also for the card.
We had an amazing day.
Many thanks again,
Abi x

I love receiving messages from my brides.
Maria wanted to wear a dress on her wedding day she could wear again.
We have selected heavily beaded lace from Michael's Bridal Fabrics and satin for underlay.

Hi Jitka
Well it all went very well, and we were so lucky with the weather!
The dress was so comfortable to wear all day, and I got lots of compliments.
Thank you so much for your hard work on it, it made me feel elegant and confident.
Lots of love Maria x

Wow!

How important are finishing touches? What needs to be considered when working with fine materials? This gorgeous soft feel silk chiffon skirt by needs 3 point bustle for the evening part of the wedding. I have decided crochet tiny loops from an ivory thread to keep with the barely there effortless look.

I love my brides they are so thoughtful! Thank you Monika!

The best dressed at the Oscar’s this year has gone to Carey Mulligan. Classy, classic look with the vintage feel - a recreation of a 1951 Balenciaga design. Thumbs up from me!

When I have first heard about photo shoot in Venice I have had my ideas about my dress designs. One short fun and other long, lace sophisticated look. I could have not imagined anything as lush as Alli from created. It took my breath away. And moreover, as she couldn’t ‘pack’ any of her flowers in her suitcase, she herself didn’t know what to expect once she has gone to collect her order. I salute you! And for you girls/ brides I know who I would have asked to do my wedding flowers!

I couldn’t resist to visit the ely cathedral exhibition on wedding dress history.
Lots of timeless fashion.
I loved princess Margaret’s toile of wedding dress. Very simplistic style but beautifully made.
Many lovely headdresses too and one dress was made out of materials of supplier I still use today. Harrington lace and fabrics !
What I have noticed was that many of the exhibits came with tragic story. Clearly the curator was looking for a bit of drama!

Models: Part two. The day fun playful look had been transformed by a simple demure lace style wedding dress. No fuss is needed when you have chantilly lace to play with. Simple shape, high neck, sleeves - I have added just a few lace motives on the sleeve hem and shoulders. Puddle sized train and an open back. Sprinkle a few covers buttons and accessorise with beautiful earrings and long veil. Hair and make up just to enhance beautiful features by and of course not to forget the cherry on the ‘cake’ stunning bouquet in blood red to complete our look by It was a fun to work with so many talented people.
