Backless wedding dresses are beautiful, but there' Backless wedding dresses are beautiful, but there's a little more to consider than how they look from behind 🖤

The lower the back, the more thought needs to go into the construction, fit and support of the dress.

And while clever design can achieve some beautiful results, there are limits to what certain fabrics and silhouettes can do, particularly if you need more bust support. It's not about ruling out the style you love. It's about understanding what will work for your body and making sure you feel comfortable and supported all day.

🖤 Swipe through for three things worth knowing before choosing a backless wedding dress

Lace Placement 🖤 One of my favourite things about Lace Placement 🖤

One of my favourite things about working with lace is that it can completely change depending on how you use it.

It’s the placement that gives it its character, and when we’re creating a couture dress, we can choose exactly where it goes. We can decide how much detail you want, whether you want it strategically placed or covering the whole dress. It can completely change the overall look.

Because if you’ve got an idea in your head for your wedding dress, you don’t necessarily need to find the dress that already exists.

We can make one that's perfect for you 🖤

Things you don’t see when you look at a couture we Things you don’t see when you look at a couture wedding dress…

The hours spent making decisions, pattern cutting, amending proportions, and the construction underneath. The fittings. The tweaking. And all the things made to make it feel like you.

🤍 It’s so much more than the finished dress

Is a Couture Wedding Dress right for you? 🤍 Coutu Is a Couture Wedding Dress right for you? 🤍

Couture isn’t about choosing the most expensive option or making a dress more complicated for the sake of it.

It’s about the process... and it’s not for everyone.

It can be scary, overwhelming and, at times, a little vulnerable. You have to trust me, and I have to trust you enough to tell me what you really want, what you don’t, and when something just doesn’t feel right.

But that’s also what makes it so exciting.

Having the freedom to explore ideas. Choosing the fabric because it’s right for your design. Changing the proportions. Creating the neckline. Considering the construction for your body.

Making decisions based on you, rather than what already exists.

If you’ve ever looked at wedding dresses and thought, “I love this… but I wish it had…” couture might be for you 🤍

Rachel 🖤 She married the love of her life in a ch Rachel 🖤

She married the love of her life in a chic city wedding, with the beautiful backdrop of York.

Rachel’s dress was almost a perfect fit, and with a few minor alterations, it was perfect for the day.

Whether it’s a complete customisation or just a few finishing touches, the fit still needs to be perfect.

Swipe to see their picture-perfect dog, dressed for the occasion 🖤

Studio Reset 🖤 After months of dresses, fittings, Studio Reset 🖤

After months of dresses, fittings, alterations, fabric, pins, patterns and probably far too many cups of coffee, it was definitely time for a proper tidy-up. 

There’s something so satisfying about clearing the decks and putting everything back in its place!

New ideas, new sketches, new fabrics… and lots of dresses waiting to be designed. 2027 couture clients now pending 🖤

Wedding dress shopping should be exciting 🤍 BUT w Wedding dress shopping should be exciting 🤍

BUT when you don’t know where to start, it can quickly feel overwhelming. A little preparation before your first appointment can make such a difference.

You don’t need to know exactly what dress you want. You just need to know how to start the process with a little more clarity and confidence.

I’ve put together a FREE Wedding Dress Shopping Checklist to help you do exactly that

Your Wedding Shoes 🤍 Comfort matters just as much Your Wedding Shoes 🤍

Comfort matters just as much as how they look!

And...please wear them in! Walk around the house, stand in them and get used to how they feel.

Sore feet definitely shouldn't be part of the wedding day plan

Couture Consultation prep is officially underway 🖤 Couture Consultation prep is officially underway 🖤

This week is all about the details: searching for beautiful fabrics, digging through lace trims, choosing pearls and collecting all the things that might be perfect for 2027 brides.

It’s one of my favourite parts of the process because you never quite know what will catch your eye and become a part of your dress. And that’s really what a couture consultation is about. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want. We’ll talk, explore, try things, look at fabrics and work out what feels like you.

It’s the beginning of creating something completely your own 

🖤 To find out more, visit the boutique blog (link in bio) where we talk about what to expect at your couture design consultation
