Bead Embellished lace and Fringing Wedding Dress with Silk Blouse
A gold and ivory couture two-piece, that feels unmistakably bridal.
A softly tailored ivory silk blouse, it’s relaxed silhouette brings an effortless and contemporary feel to the outfit.
The skirt was meticulously hand-crafted using couture techniques.
Materials dyed to the perfect shades of antique gold.
Layers of metallic fringing, cascading at different angles, lengths and depths, strategically cut and crafted to art deco style sculpting which cleverly contoured the figure. The fringe shimmers at the bride moves, giving quiet drama.
A bespoke wedding dress for bride, Nat, who was seeking a truly personal gown in both design, detail and craftsmanship, but also thoughtful and individual to her needs and comfort.
Comfort applies to both the body, and the mind and how you want to project yourself on the wedding day.
The embellishment of the wedding dress takings inspiration from magnificent antique textiles, spirals of glass beads and pearl rondelles and droplets, goldwork embroidery using metal threads and components, and special lace and diamante. Each piece placed by hand for embroidery, making the dress completely unique.
A velvet ribbon with a vintage crystal buckle; a buckle that I’ve had for years, waiting for the right moment, gives a nod to vintage hollywood glamour. The buckle hides a sentimentail detail. The tag of a beloved pet who was laid to rest just before the wedding, was embellished and added to the centre of the belt.
The bridal look was paired with a simple veil in a dusty gold tone.
