Charlotte
Real bride Charlotte came for an appointment to try on dresses after discovering me on instagram and falling in love with a few of my lace pieces. After looking at various options I created a bespoke design for Charlottes dress being sure to incorporate all the elements that she loved from my other styles. The result was incredible and Charlotte looked an absolute dream on her wedding day-from her delicious pink hair down to her Vivienne Westwood shoes of dreams, I was so honoured to have been able to design her dress.
Charlottes dress featured a sandwich silk slip dress based on my Classic Bay slip dress, which has delicate adjustable straps and a low back and is cut on the bias to create a figure hugging silhouette. This was paired with a gorgeous lace overdress made from the delicate Chantilly lace of Willow. The dress had delicate capped sleeves, was fitted softly over the body, finishing in a flared hem and train depicting the detailed scallop of the lace. The back also features the scallop in a beautiful keyhole detail and has a gorgeous button and loop closure.
Charlotte and Robbie were married in the stunning Aswarby Rectory, with seasonal flowers from Elder & Wild and photographed by Gill & Gee Media.
“I cannot recommend Susie enough! She is extremely talented, so professional and wonderfully kind. She made me feel instantly at ease right from the first contact via email, straight through to the end picking up my beautiful handmade wedding dress. After seeing her work online, I knew straight away (before even looking in any other bridal shops/stores) that I wanted her to make my dream dress for me. She was so welcoming and went the extra mile with small touches to make me feel right at home. This really made the the whole experience an easy, comfortable and exciting one. Susie was able to bring together my favourite elements from various of her sample dresses/pieces, together with my ideas to create the dress of my dreams which will be one of my prized possessions forever. She really is a beautiful person with an outstanding passion, understanding and talent to create such elegant pieces for each of her brides, and I am honored to be one of them. Thank you, Susie!'‘
