Photos from a happy customer

Following on from my previous post, I'm delighted to be able to share a few photos with you of a beautiful bride and her lovely bridesmaids on her wedding day.

Congratulations to Juliet and Alan, I hope you have a long and happy marriage. And thankyou to Juliet for choosing me to make your dresses and cloak, I think it was a fab combination and I'm so glad you were pleased with them!

It started with an idea of wearing a cloak...

Pictures today of a commission that I finished shortly before my week off - a commission that started with the bride to be looking for a cloak to wear on her wedding day and ended up with me being asked to make not just the cloak but matching bridesmaids dresses and her dress as well!

First, her dress: a simple full-length strapless dress with an off the shoulder band that also went round her arms.

And her cloak: beautiful burgundy duchess satin, lined with ivory satin and with a silver clasp to hold it closed.

And the bridesmaids: the same lovely colour satin in styles appropriate to their ages (and sadly the older girl's dress fitted on none of my mannequins so you only get a picture of it on the hanger).

I have seen photos of the wedding day and they all looked absolutely gorgeous, I'm waiting for permission to share them with you all though, so you'll have to keep your fingers crossed for now!

Catching up - some pictures of my dresses on real people (not on my mannequin for once!)

I realised today that I didn't share with you some of the photos I received from a customer of two of my custom made bridesmaids dresses being worn on 'The Big Day', so this a blog post to rectify that immediately!

You may not remember the dresses appearing on my blog when they were made, but they were bridesmaids dresses 'with a difference' in that they featured the same material but were designed to match each girls style and personality. The original blog posts are here and here.

And the pictures from on the day...

There's not much I can say really, other than that I think they looked beautiful (beautiful models and a glorious day must take some credit too!) and looking back at these pictures is making me happy and proud of my past work!
