My Ceremony Look 

Working with Phillipa to create my wedding dress was simply incredible. To know that I wore a dress, made just for me and designed with touches that only I got experience, is special beyond words. A true pinch me moment that I'll never forget, walking down the aisle to my Alex, wearing a custom gown. For our ceremony I wore a custom corseted, silk crepe wedding dress with an Italian duchess satin band at the neckline and (as we coined them together during our fittings) delicate ‘tagliatelle’ duchess satin straps. The corset was created from scratch meaning the gown itself fit like a glove. It hugged my figure over every possible inch and was such a pleasure to wear. I chose a relatively full skirt that skimmed the floor to make walking as simple as possible and decided on a sleek train that flowed beautifully from the panelling of the buttoned bodice. My custom veil was a must have for me as I felt I really wanted to embrace being a bride as much as possible. Phillipa sketched every detail of my single tier veil to include all of my wedding flowers (white roses, baby’s breath, erigeron, maiden’s hair fern and lavender ) and 2 bumble bees at the foot to represent Alex and I and our Northern roots. The veil was then hand embroidered using French vintage, loom woven, silk tulle. I teamed my gown with matching floral diamond jewellery from David Morris and the chicest Jimmy Choo heels adorned with Alex and I's initials - my something blue. And of course my hair was skillfully tousled and pinned into a twisted style by my hair genius Larry and my glowing full face of Armani Beauty was expertly applied by Nikki - the brow queen.
