A Proper London knees-up with a sprinkling of thirties starlet! - Lucy and Andrew

Working with my bespoke clients is always a rewarding experience - so much time is spent discussing the dress, and the wedding, and the details of the day, that you can't help but get to know each other well.  

Lucy's commission came through in the Autumn last year and she knew that she wanted something fluid, and thirties, with some loose sleeves, and a lace edged veil.

This is a real example of how a bespoke dress can totally reflect who you are, your aspirations for your day, and the odd surprise along the way!  We were just about to get started on the make in the new year when Lucy confided in me that she was expecting a baby!

Needless to say a little bit of a re-design was required, something that wouldn't have been possible with an off the peg dress, and the cut was carefully thought through to allow for an un-predictable size of bump on June 8, her wedding day.

The resulting dress, and beautiful hand made veil - really shows off the loveliness that is bride Lucy on her big day, at a happy time full of excitement for the future.  

I loved our fitting sessions and am so looking forward to news of Baby Beckley's arrival!

Enjoy these wonderful photos by talented photographer Ross Talling - I just love the one of Lucy and her bump just before she left for the ceremony.
