Thanks to the lovely Danielle for inviting me to interview for Impulse Magazine. She even treated me to tea and cake. Lovely. 

Bonnie Bridesmaids

So, on 4th May 2013 I got Hitched in the Highlands! Although I wasn't brave enough to make my own dress, I did design and make my bridesmaid dresses. 

My girls are all so individual that I wanted to make them something true to their own style. The wedding itself was a pretty relaxed, Springtime garden party so we echoed that by choosing fresh, complimenting, mismatched colours for the dresses. With a bit of input from the dolls themselves, I made a classic box pleated dress, with stunning slash back in pale blue for my cousin. A pale, dove grey, backless dress for my sis. Finally, a simple, unstructured, peach dress. Again, with a slash back, for my fave gal. 

To tie us all together I used a delicate Chantilly lace as detailing across the dresses. This lace also featured on my dress and I really love the sentiment that they all had a piece of the wedding gown with them, as opposed to just matching the flowers.

I have also shared the mood board I put together in the early stages of designing and pooling my MANY ideas. I hope you like them, I’m sure you can agree the girls looked absolutely radiant and I can’t thank them enough for all of the support over the day and days leading up to our beautiful wedding. 

My dress was made by my friend and (handily) amazing designer Rowan Joy. You can take a look at her work over here. X marks the spot.
