The wedding dress is a strapless, ruched silk Georgette gown with crochet style lace trims and pearl beading.
Shirlene
Shirlene wanted something totally individual to wear for her unconventional wedding which took place in a forest.
She brought some textured chiffon fabric with her that she liked the look and colour of, and together we combined this with other fabrics to create a fluid, yet structural design that echoed both the spirit of the occasion and of Shirlene herself.
The flowers on her gown were embroidered by her friends, and more arrived at each fitting for us to sew on!

Each crochet flower was finished with a pearl at its centre.

Dawn liked the 'Tallulah' sample gown, but knew she wanted a red wedding dress. No problem! After seeing many different shades of red, Dawn chose hers, and decided to have some extra beading added as well.

Robyn supplied her own lace for her black and ivory wedding dress. It was important to her that the lace was an abstract pattern.

'Charlie' was a halter-neck, A-line gown, made from ivory Thai silk with hand-beaded crystals on the bodice.
Alice
A heavily corded lace was used over a silk base to achieve Alice's fitted, empire line, softly fishtail shaped dress.
