Vanessa 😍 What a lovely lady looking so gorgeous at her wedding this Autumn. She had two beautiful gowns for daytime and evening which were so different but worked so well for her.

The ball gown needed just tweaks to get fitting for the ceremony (straps/ length etc) and the evening dress needed slinking right down to sculpt around her body, bum and back arch, plus we took off a rather epic train so make it a more evening appropriate dress so she could party as hard as she wanted 🎉

Lizzie 🩷 Super gorgeous girl looking amazing 🤩 on her wedding day earlier this year. She had a beautiful floaty chiffon gown with a fitting bodice.

It was pretty huge on her so it needed bringing right down to size to give her a close fit, cinch the waist and support the bust plus all the normal alts

It was so fun to meet her and her mum and chat through wedding plans and her ideas for the big day. I love her pops of colour and the fuschia pink suited her to a T 🩷

looking the absolute gorgeous lady she is at her wedding this year. What a beautiful lady who was a pleasure to help get wedding ready 🥰

Her stunning Suzanne Neville gown needing some fitting on the bodice so we could really cinch the waist and give her this awesome silhouette, and the usual nips and tucks most gowns need. She looks so beautiful and happy and it is always so wonderful to see photos after the wedding ❤️

So many beautiful photos back from Eryn at her wedding 🥰 Her beautiful beaded gown was enormous on her, as her shape had changed so much in the build up to the wedding so it was taken in just about everywhere to get it to fit her just right!

Because these dresses are so heavy I also like to put a tight elastic belt inside to grip onto the torso of the bride to ensure it doesn’t slip down but gets a good close fit without putting too much pressure on the zip!

She looks so gorgeous, i was so pleased to see these photos back from Eryn and it was so fun to work with her. Lush evening mini dress needed a few tweaks which I absolutely loved, such a cute dropped waist mini dress. It was the perfect contrast to the beaded wedding gown 🥰🥰🥰

Finally getting around to sharing pics of Ailish looking beautiful at her wedding at the start of this year. The beautiful gown needed some fitting and customising- extra lace detail was added to the back keyhole to soften the shape and blend the lace more onto the skin.

The flutter sleeves were also made & added, with beaded lace appliqués cut out and sew onto the tulle sleeves to tie in with the rest of the design of the dress. They add a little coverage but also a lovely design feature which keeps the style of the dress soft & ethereal.

Lush ❤️

Photos back of real bride Aggie at her wedding in September.

What a gorgeous lady and a joy to meet and help her on her wedding dress journey. She wore the beautiful Lila gown by Evie Young. The dress needed all round tweaking to get it slinky but comfortable - gorge sleeves on this dress which needed to be reset to get the fit just right.

Such a lovely lady and so lush to get these photos through 😍

Happy sunny Saturday ☀️ Here is beautiful real bride Yasmin at her wedding last month.

The gown needed some fitting around the bodice to get it a close but comfortable fit. Hemming and bustle for the evening too. So lovely to meet Yasmin and help her get wedding ready!

She looks so elegant in her gorgeous gown 🥰 with some rather fabulous shoes.

Really excited to see these pics back from Robyn 🥰

Her beautiful dress ‘Sydney’ needed a little bit of fitting, just the standard alterations, but she also wanted to add some detachable tulle sleeves ☺️ These were super lightweight, a double layer of tulle with a gather armhole to get a nice bit of volume with a fitted cuff which the sleeve gathered into.

Oh so pretty 🤩 she looks GORGE 🤩

Real Bride Isobel looking gorgeous on her wedding day this summer.

The gown had plunge lace panels on the hips which were a little too sheer so some lace appliqué was carefully sewn on to add some subtle extra coverage. Normal alterations to get the dress fitting as well.

Great shot and love the pop of colour from that door 🤩

Epic shot from of lovely Laura looking gorgeous in her beautiful blush gown.

Laura’s dress was way too big for her and needed to be taken down 2 dress sizes to get it fitting just right. It was covered in beads with lace straps and a lace edged hem. All needed careful fitting and altering to get it just right. We started the process months before the wedding so we had plenty of time to do the work.

Lovely these pics back from beautiful Hannah at her wedding in July 💖 I had this dress for MONTHS as Hannah lived in Hong Kong… SO we did a fitting in December when she was over for Christmas.

The dress needed a fair chunk taking in and some shaping to get that lush hip/ bum shaping. Hannah wanted a simple plain veil too, so I made her a single tier, pencil edged veil for a delicate finishing touch! We did a speedy fit once she was back and the week before the wedding and the dress fitted beautifully 🥳

Always so lovely to get photos back so please share them or tag us. It really brings a huge smile to your suppliers as we go on a little journey with you so we really do love to see how it all turns out 🥰

Beautiful lady Saffy at her wedding in July 🥰

This beautiful vintage style dress was in fact from and was covered in beautiful beads. It was pretty big on Saffy when we started fittings back in January but did some fitting and shaping and plenty of hand sewing on those beads to get it just right. I love her whole style and look; just came together perfectly 👌
