Phillipa Lepley bride Sophie

Phillipa Lepley bride Sophie wore a timeless yet modern duchess satin wedding gown for her wedding in the Cotswolds. ⁠

Crafted from luxurious heavy-weight duchess satin, Sophie’s exquisite couture dress boasted an off-the-shoulder oversized collar and crisp ‘knife pleats’ at the waist, fashioning an elegant inverted tulip shape along the hip.

The gown was formed on a base of the signature Phillipa Lepley internal corset, which defined the waist for the most flattering fit. The beautifully mouldable duchess satin flowed into a column skirt with a dramatic bridal train. Every detail of the dress, from the angular lines of the corset to the precise knife pleats adorning the skirt, contributed to its modern allure. Sophie paired her couture wedding dress with an ethereal silk tulle two tier veil.
