There is a growing army of brides-to-be who are ditching the traditional bridal boutiques and thinking outside the box for their wedding dress. Beautiful Lauren found her perfect dress without visiting a single boutique - her dress was hiding in her mother's wardrobe!
Altering an existing wedding dress has a much lower carbon footprint than purchasing a brand new dress. "Upcycling" extends the life of a dress, making it a more ethical and sustainable option.
Lauren came to us with a vision of how she wanted her mother's wedding dress to be updated and modernised to rewear for her own wedding day. Together we redesigned it and remade it into a magical dress with a history and a story to tell.
