Sending wedding day love and best wishes to Holly and Danny.
I didn't have the honour of working for Holly on her wedding dress alterations, but I did have the absolute pleasure of meeting her at her wedding venue (Slapton Manor) and carrying out her garment preparation, steaming her beautiful wedding dress (from SERENDIPITY BRIDES) and veil and removing labels and loops to ensure her wedding dress was ready for her walk down the aisle.

Congratulations to beautiful Natasha and her husband Isaac who got married on Saturday.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natasha to not only ensure her dress fitted perfectly, but to also customise her wedding dress making it uniquely hers.
Please wish this lovely lady and Isaac a very happy marriage.

✨ Your wedding morning should feel calm, joyful and beautifully organised — not rushed or stressful. ✨
SAVE this important check list for your wedding day ....

8 expert tips to help the morning run smoothly:

1. Have someone in charge of timings.
A calm, reliable person keeping an eye on the clock makes all the difference. It stops the morning from slipping away without you realising. No one wants to be rushed into their wedding gown!

2. Make sure whoever is dressing you knows how your gown fastens.
Buttons, loops, corsets, poppers, hidden hooks… every dress is different. A practice run before the day will help prevent panicked fumbling.

3. Check your underwear.
Your helper should know how to adjust straps, smooth lines and make sure nothing is peeking through. Little tweaks make a big difference in photos.

4. Don’t forget the petticoat.
Thoroughly smooth and fluff those layers to ensure the silhouette is perfect and nothing is twisting underneath.

5. Make sure your bust is sitting properly in the cups.
This one is so important and not at all embarrassing — the structure only works if everything is placed exactly where it should be.

6. Look for stray threads.
Tiny details! A quick once-over to ensure everything is flawless will mean you can feel confident you look your best before you head down the aisle

7. Double check your buttons.
Yes, really! It’s one of the most missed steps. Those loops hold your buttons in place over the zipper so they look perfect.

8. Don’t put your shoes on yourself.
Especially with boning — it’s awkward, restrictive and risks damaging the gown or popping seams. Let someone else do this for you!

💛 With the right support, your wedding morning becomes a moment to breathe, smile and enjoy being cared for.

Eloise not only has had me tailor her gown, but also booked me to do her garment preparation and dressing service, so last night I steamed all her beautiful bridesmaids dresses and mother of the bride outfit. This morning I'll be helping her dress.

Congratulations Eloise and Jake. Thank you for making me part of your special day.

Real bride Becci!

These stunning photos are by CFWG
Thank you to Becci Mitten for both your kind review and the photos.

Congratulations again to Becci and Drew who had their long awaited wedding day in beautiful Florida.

Becci looks stunning in her wedding gown that I had the pleasure of not only carrying out the alterations to fit but also made this gown uniquely Becci's with bespoke straps.

It really is a privilege to be part of a bride's wedding preparations.

With wedding dresses as beautiful as this, it's no wonder that I love my job as a bridal seamstress.

Wishing this lovely couple a marriage full of love and happiness.

Becci - One of my favourite wedding dresses and for a super lovely bride.

Thank you Becci for your kind review.
