Our Brides
Charlotte’s Traditional Wedding In Switzerland
Charlotte chose a full skirted, corseted duchesse satin gown with a soft sweetheart neckline for her wedding in Switzerland.
For her ceremony, we created a bespoke lace top to be worn over the gown, completed in two different types of French lace – a fine, delicate Chantilly lace through the bodice and a heavier, corded lace to give luxurious definition at the neckline and cuffs. The off-the-shoulder neckline and long lace sleeves were refined over detailed fittings with Charlotte in our London shop and gave a regal elegance to her day look. This was beautifully finished with an heirloom family veil.
For the evening, Charlotte was able to bustle the train of her dress and changed into a silk organza top with a bateau neckline and dramatic V back. The fresh, clean organza lines provided such a contrast to the softer femininity of the lace of the day look.
A blush pink sash tied in a romantic bow highlighted her gorgeous shape in the corseted bodice.
“Thank you so much for everything. It was such a special thing to be able to do, to create my own perfect gown and it really was perfect so thank you”
(Charlotte, September 2017)
