Real Weddings: Shona's gorgeous 50s inspired wedding dress and Jackie O style bridesmaid dress

Recently I received these lovely images from a bride whose bridal gown and bridesmaid dress I made a little while back (pre baby days!).  Shona chose a lovely short wedding dress that had a full organza overlay with cute little capped sleeves.  Underneath the organza was a layer of dupion silk which was made as a strapless bodice underlay and the skirt had lovely box pleats to give the perfect amount of fullness without being too bulky.  Then to add a personal touch Shona hand sewed some lace motifs onto her gown which was absolutely perfect for the gown.

To add to the vintage feel for the day I also created her bridesmaids dress which was a replica of a dress that Jackie O wore in the 60s.  Such an adorable style and a lovely colour!!

I absolutely love, love, love the hairpiece that she chose and the shoes are to die for.... what an absolutely stunning retro bride...
