Jess wears bespoke wedding gowns by Kate Edmondson
Jessica's bespoke wedding dress journey started with us, via an email from her mum requesting our help in creating Jess's bespoke wedding dress for her wedding on the 7th September 2024. A bridal consultation was booked to discuss Jess's wedding dress design more in depth.
During Jess's appointment, she had a clear idea of the style of dress she wanted. Having tried on numerous bridal dresses in wedding dress boutiques. Jess was particularly drawn to a brand that did 50s style wedding dresses. Unfortunately during her visit to their showroom, she felt they were unable to cater to her needs. Which resulted in her mum sourcing a bespoke wedding dress designer.
We were able to sketch a wedding dress design based on all the ideas Jessica had. Which was a 50s style off the shoulder design, traditional yet had a modern feel. During her appointment she also needed a wedding dress for her civil wedding ceremony at Marylebone old town hall, which was around 6-8 weeks away.
We were also able to come up with some designs ideas for her civil ceremony wedding dress. Jess did not want to have a traditional ivory wedding dress. For both her wedding dress Jess choose blush for her formal wedding gown & teal for her civil wedding dress. During Jess's design development Jess decided she loved the bodice design of her formal wedding dress. We was then instructed to do a shorter version of her wedding dress.
As Jessica had decided to wear her civil ceremony dress as her second dress on her wedding day. This was a great decision for Jess as it was a perfect reception party dress for her wedding. The 50s style dress was great to party the evening away in. Jess also had a dance choreograph dance to perform as part of her big day. So she needed something she could move around in quite easily.
Jessica's civil ceremony took place on 30th August 2024 a small intimate wedding attended by close family. Followed by Jess & Mo's wedding which took place at Beaumont Hall in St Albans. I was honoured to attend their wonderful outdoor wedding. I was also able to dress Jess on her wedding day which was also a great honour & privilege.
