Met a the most amazing team of women at this fabulous Co working event this week ran by Coastal Collective.

Running your own business can be lonely and sometimes isolating. Having a place where you can share ideas , gain feedback and learn from other women is amazing 🤩. Keep up the good work Mel and Sara !

Let’s talk sustainable fabrics ……

This beautiful back shot shows off the lovely Lucy in her wedding gown. Lucy loved the fact that I am passionate about sustainability and sourcing my materials and fabrics locally. For her dress we chose the most delicate Chantilly organic french lace as an overlay for her sweetheart bodice which came from a UK established supplier. Whilst not made in the UK, this lace fabric is organic, and therefore a more conscious choice .

The main fabric is a heavy silk double Georgette, sourced locally to where the dress was made back in the UK with GOTs certification.

Now that I am based on the Sunshine Coast, I am on the hunt for sustainable materials on this side of the world.

If you’re a bride looking for a more conscious choice when it comes to what your dress is made of and how and where it is made, please get in touch. I make all the dresses myself by hand, putting time, effort and lots of love in to each and every gown I make. ❤️

Juniper ❤️

This Luxurious sustainable crepe dress with open back and thigh high split detail will have heads turning . It has that right balance of paired back luxury with alluring charm.

Made from a UK sourced sustainable heavy crepe fabric, it has a wonderful drape and handle and feels beautiful on.

I have a size 10/12 sample that is available. Please get in touch if interested.

My latest creation and bespoke masterpiece!

Yesterday I said goodbye to this beautiful lady and her wedding dress . The last meetings with my brides are always full of emotions and this one in particular had all the emotions as it was my last dress to have completed on UK soil.

I have been so lucky to have met so many lovely brides and family’s over the years I have been designing and making wedding dresses here in the UK and thank you all from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to make your wonderful dresses .

The next chapter now awaits and off to Australia we come ! The Sunshine and sea are calling me and hopefully some new brides aswell !!

We are relocating to Noosa, on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland , Australia. For any brides getting married here, get in touch now as I will soon be there and ready to go again !

Much love ! Gemma ### ❤️

A beautiful image and action shot captures the movement and beauty of Rachel’s bespoke wedding dress. Showing off the stunning, intricate open back detail and striking embellished lace. With a skirt made from the most luxurious heavy eco satin back crepe courtesy of a fabulous uk fabric supplier l

I absolutely loved making this dress and the journey involved in seeing it evolve from Sketch to final product.

Happy Wednesday everyone ❤️

Here is a recent shot I took of a lovely new client of mine . This is her at her first toile fitting. This bespoke wedding dress will be stunning when it’s made, it will be made from a sculptural heavy crepe, underlined in Silk Georgette and feature on trend pleated short voluminous sleeves! Even though it won’t be a mini dress when completed, I actually am loving the idea of this one as a mini as well with all the mini wedding dress hype happening right now ❤️

What do you think ? Xx

Hey 👋

This is me hand sewing on the last few buttons to a recent bridal gown collected by one of our 2024 brides .

The time, consideration and patience that goes into every bespoke wedding dress is a craft and skill to treasure , something that you cannot replicate through a factory made gown.

A handmade bespoke wedding dress is not only unique to the beautiful bride who wears it but it also tells a story. It is a complete expression of a brides true self, her personality and often her creative thought process. I simply help to make this dream a reality , through my Knowledge and expertise of the craft.

If your looking to have your story told , please get in touch.

Bespoke Bridal : Toile fitting,

For every bespoke bridal gown, I make a toile. The toile is a mock up or prototype of the real dress made in a substitute fabric. This is to perfect the fit, look at styling details, discuss fabrics etc. This dress is for one of my brides this year and will be full length and have a long train.

If you’re looking for a one of a kind bespoke wedding gown you can find out more about the process on my website here www.gemmaleakey.com/bespoke .

Introducing Ariana ❤️

Bringing glamour to the proceedings, Ariana’s beaded and pearl encrusted bustier bodice has swoon-worthy removable tulle sleeves, making it feel almost like two dresses in one. The silk bias cut skirt has the most flattering drape, finishing off this show-stopping gown.

Introducing Alora:

Alora is one of the four stunning looks that make up the latest Gemma Leakey collection ‘Eventide’

My newest collection is all about sophistication with a sense of nostalgic soft romance. Shot around a desert lake in the sand and scrubland, this collection takes inspiration from the the desert sunlight and warm hazy sunsets, with the dresses exuding an evocative laid back sense of feeling and romantic movement.

Alora is made using the popular and romantic sequinned leaf lace from the Hidden Essence collection, made into a structured and fully b***d bodice, and sculpturally fitted, fit and flare stretch crepe skirt with thigh high front split and a voluminous train. Sexy and sophisticated, there are removable bell sleeves that gather at the wrist for a further touch of on-trend drama.

Some exciting things going on behind the scenes at the moment. Working on some new shapes , separates in particular to sit back with some of the beautiful bridal skirts in the existing collections. Rather than re invent the wheel, as part of my sustainable mindset, I am getting creative with what I already have and creating some new pieces that work back with these existing shapes.
