Phillipa Lepley bride Emily
Phillipa Lepley bride Emily was the epitome of refined grace in her couture silk crepe wedding dress.

During appointments in The Shop on Chelsea’s iconic Fulham Road, Emily fell in love with ‘Auteuil Crepe’ – a contemporary yet timeless design crafted from sumptuous silk crepe.
‘Being in the countryside it was important that my wedding dress reflected the same style, and I absolutely fell in love with the material of this dress. It hangs so beautifully and flows effortlessly when you walk. I also loved the intricate seam and button details, which made it feel really feminine.’

Made from butter-soft, luxurious silk crepe, the gown featured an elegant bateau front neckline which gracefully extended into full-length sleeves. Delicate, silk-covered buttons featured at the cuffs and down the centre back seam for a classic bridal touch.

Skillfully cut by hand by artisans in the Phillipa Lepley Atelier, the dress included clever elongating seaming, perfectly placed to flatter and contour the female form. The back neckline met in a low ‘V’ shape on the spine, adding a modern touch to a demure bridal look.

Emily married in her village church, before celebrating the nuptials in an intimate reception at her family home.
