This project was a year-long collaboration between myself and couture designer Mia Atelier, created for a bride who dreamed of a vintage, 90s-inspired gown that would be both romantic and timeless.

Services: Wedding Dress design/ Styling.

The process

  • The bride envisioned an ivory drop-waist gown adorned with bows - a design that felt unique, personal, and evocative of her style. Together, we sketched out her aspirations, focusing on a silhouette that balanced structure with softness.

  • Partnering with Mia Atelier, we began developing the gown’s design through a series of sketches, fittings, and revisions. The dress evolved into a true statement piece: an ivory drop-waist gown detailed with bows at the bust, waist, and hips to highlight the bride’s figure, paired with layers of soft tulle that cascaded from the skirt, adding romance and movement. Each detail was carefully refined, ensuring the gown carried both modern elegance and vintage sensibility.

  • Over the course of a year, fittings allowed us to perfect every seam, bow, and drape of tulle. Once complete, I styled the bride with thoughtfully curated accessories - delicate gloves, refined jewellery, a veil, and shoes - to elevate the look while maintaining harmony with the gown.

  • The final outcome was a one-of-a-kind couture gown, romantic in its detailing and timeless in its silhouette. The bride was overjoyed, praising not only the craftsmanship but the collaborative process that brought her vision to life. This project showcased the power of blending couture design with personalised styling, resulting in a bridal look that was deeply individual and unforgettable.
