Do you fancy something different for your big day wedding dress, or maybe you just don't like traditional styles? We can now help with that thinking. We have added our Alternative Wedding Dress collection alongside our collections of tea length, Boho and full length traditional bridal styles.
The collection includes colours and fairy tale styles.
]]>Recently there's been rumblings around the bridal dress sector, even being reported by BBC News about these production times possibly growing to eight months from order. Were you aware of these possible delays?
The good news is that none of our designers have made us aware of any similar delays, but you should consider the possibility. However, none of our designers are currently taking rush/express orders.
Our own research with our customers highlights that few are aware that wedding dresses normally take 6 to 9 months to make, once ordered.
It is possible to purchase an off the peg gown from us, but this will be limited to what we have in your size/colour/length choices. If you are a 2023 or early 2024 bride we recommend you think about looking as soon as you can.
If you big-day is before mdi-summer next year then all is not lost, we can offer you a selection of dresses for immediate purchase...
]]>The FairyGothMother Sale is coming!
Thursday June 10th - Saturday June 12th.
Due to Covid, the sale will be by appointment only in our London showroom.
]]>Tea length wedding dresses are a flattering style for curvy and plus-size brides and they come in so many gorgeous styles. Short wedding dresses are not just for petite brides, their hourglass tailoring is the perfect choice to flatter your waist! Brides love them because they look sophisticated and can be styled in so many ways, including vintage, modern, traditional casual and contemporary. Even better your intended won’t be trampling on your train! Many brides wear the dress on their best day ever and even restyle it for future special occasions to wear it again and again.
FairyGothMother are London’s only tea length wedding dress specialist. It’s why we have brides travel from all over the UK, Europe and beyond to visit us. We offer London short wedding dresses in any length up to a UK dress size 28, and have a great selection of fabrics and colours from classic Ivory to rich reds and even black! Here are some of our most popular tea-length wedding dresses that look stunning on plus-size brides to give you some inspiration.
1)
In our fine collection of short plus size wedding dresses, Marilyn, a classic Fifties wedding gown with pleated satin wrap bodice really stands out. You will walk down the aisle looking effortlessly classic in this sophisticated dress. The high waistline was designed for the curvy bride and forms a flattering silhouette and gives ample support. No bras needed here ladies. No, really!
All eyes will be on the bride who wears this darling Veronica brocade tea length wedding dress with subtle bow and elegant cut. The bow and neckline on this plus size tea length wedding dress are eye-catching and unique. Then the back of the dress is also a showstopper. You can even add covered buttons if you want a bit more detail. The full flared skirt moves beautifully and emphasises the plus-size bride's shape. We are in love with the classic ivory but perhaps you will choose a dramatic red one?
Created with the elegant bride in mind, Maude is a deluxe Mikado tea length wedding dress and one of our best sellers for our curvy brides. The clean lines are suitable for full figures, and the neckline and back add a touch of classic beauty that is perfect for a church wedding or casual garden affair.
Another pretty number is our Hannah short tea length wedding dress in luxury Mikado. The details on this dress, such as the diamanté, pearl and beads belt, delicate sleeves and interesting neckline, make this dress extra special. It looks lovely on curvaceous bodies and can be styled in many ways. We also adore the pockets on this gown which comes in a range of colours including black or red!
Be ready to wow in the exquisite Lois wedding gown in Mikado with lace bodice especially tailored for plus sizes. The lace bodice is alluring and supportive at the same time, and the full vintage skirt moves like a dream. From your walk down the aisle to spinning on the dance floor, your dress is going to make you look fab and feel stunning. We love pockets on a wedding dress which add just a hint of edginess.
6)
The lovely Fleur strapless tea length wedding dress in embossed sunflower jacquard is often worn by curvy plus-sized brides who appreciate fine style with a Fifties vibe. Strapless tea length dresses are always in fashion, and this one is a stunning choice. Who doesn’t want sunflowers on their gown!
We understand it can be hard to find plus-size dresses, so we stock an impressive collection of London short wedding dresses to make your search easy. You know your Fairy Goth Mother has you covered, and once you say yes to the dress, we will help you with the accessories and styling too!
FairyGothMother is a short tea length wedding dress specialist. Our London studio is packed full of designs you can adapt to suit your unique style. Book your appointment here.
]]>You are ready to start the wedding dress search but not sure where to start? We guide you through the process of fittings, selection and collection of your wedding dress.
We recommend you book in for an appointment 9-18 months before your wedding date.
Here you will have the opportunity to try on samples in various shapes and fabrics to help you decide what style of wedding dress you might like. As this process involves pinning and fitting dresses to you we only see one bride at a time.
At FairyGothMother we keep samples in several styles
Once you have decided on a style, we can then work with you with fabric samples, if appropriate to adapt your choice to suit you. Perhaps our sample wedding dress is in Ivory and you always dreamed of a silver-grey wedding dress.
Final decisions. At this point measurements are taken, and you can place an order for your dress. You choose your colours, fabrics and length at this point and production will start once your deposit if placed.
Your dress will generally be ready for you in around 6 months. It is sometimes possible to make your gown more quickly and we can discuss this before you place your order. At this point you will have another appointment to try on your dress. You may need to allow an additional 4-6 weeks for final alterations and styling if necessary. You can then take your wedding dress home!
If you've visited our wedding dress shop in London before, you can probably imagine us dancing around in excitement when our new collection of full-length dresses arrived this week.
Most are Boho in style and we are totally in love with all of them. Some are lacy and feminine, some flow gracefully, reminding us of a ballet dancer moving across the stage, some have a bit of edge-blended in with the romantic bohemian design and what they all have in common is they are gorgeous and modern.
We are imagining all the weddings that will be happening this bridal season and wondering where our new romantic flowy bohemian wedding gowns will be appearing. The Boho style fits perfectly for brides getting married outdoors with a garden, park or beach ceremony. You want to look gorgeous, effortless and dreamy as you walk down the aisle and the boho style evokes a sense of ease, natural beauty and style that is stunning.
Rustic weddings in the countryside in vineyards, resorts or on farms also would be suitable for the bride drawn to the popular Boho look. You can even wear a modern Boho style if you plan on tying the knot in a church. We see fashion-forward brides adding a veil and bridal accessories for the ceremony which they might remove for the reception to move more freely for dancing. It changes your look as much as a dress change almost. A change of hairstyle and make-up is another way to take a Boho wedding dress from ceremony to reception and right through to the after-party as you dance the night away.
This season we see dramatic plunging necklines and we adore the lace or beading details that often are featured on Boho-style wedding dresses.
Aside from elegant white, ivory, blush, and cream, we have some colours in blue shades right through to silver greys and of course black. These colours add depth and emotion to the wedding day ensemble in the most dreamy and uplifting way. Have you considered a black wedding dress? You might be surprised how it makes you feel! A black bridal dress can still look whimsical, soft and feminine. Perhaps your fantasy is about wearing an unusual colour for your best day ever, we advise you to try one on - it's the only way to know for sure. You can compare it to trying new food. You can look at it, but to truly know, you need to taste it. We are generous with our time at FairyGothMother, so feel free to explore your fashion vibe because this is actually the most important outfit to date!
You probably searched "modern boho wedding dresses London" and were magically taken to our site. We are glad you are here and want to invite you to our glam London studio and showroom to try on wedding dresses. Bring your mum or a bridesmaid along for this special occasion and most exciting step in the wedding planning journey. We are taking bookings for appointments and expect a busy bridal season, so don't wait - message us today!
*Boho wedding dress – Bohemian wedding dress featuring soft simple lines, often with A line skirts, plunge necklines, floaty sleeves and dreamy short trains.
]]>1. If long floor-length, dramatic dresses aren't your thing, show off those legs in a short wedding dress instead.
2. Looking for an outfit change? Opt for a more playful and informal short wedding dress to enjoy your evening in.
3. It's all about length - choose from Tea Length, Ballerina or anything in between!
4. Accessories - A short or Tea Length wedding dress is the perfect excuse to invest in some statement footwear!
Whether you are obsessed with vintage wedding gowns, looking for a dress to suit a smaller ceremony, want a second dress that allows you to dance the night away or just think a long dress isn’t very you, then a short wedding dress might just be the answer!
The great thing about short wedding dresses is how versatile they are. From modern/contemporary to a little vintage-inspired number, short wedding dresses are great for all ages and offer a flattering fit.
Here at FairyGothMother, we love nothing more than finding the right dress for our brides. We have shapes and styles for every bride, with sizes ranging from UK 6 - 28. Our dresses can be custom adapted in any length and a range of colours, and we can adapt and adjust styles to suit you.
Short tea length wedding dresses, especially those with full skirts and petticoats are often referred to as a Fifties style wedding dress, but each length does have a defined name:
How long are tea-length wedding dresses?
Tea Length dresses fall below the knee and above the ankle. Typically Tea Length wedding dress are designed with either a full circle skirt or a flattering A-line shape, with plenty of layering; made up of petticoats to help achieve plenty of movement. (Perfect for twirling around in)
How long are Ballerina length wedding dresses?
Ballerina length wedding dresses are often miscalled Tea Length, but anything that falls between ankle length and just off the ground is actually classed as Ballerina. Ballerina length wedding dresses are slightly more demure and traditional than Tea Length, but offer just as much movement and are ideal for showing off your statement shoes!
Whilst both Tea Length and Ballerina dresses are classed as short, anything above the knee doesn't fall into these categories, so these are just referred to as short. This is the perfect option for the bride that wants to show a bit more leg or a petite bride that doesn’t want to feel overcome by tulle
Most FairyGothMother bridal gowns can be made to order in a choice of length. What is Ballerina length on one bride might be full length on another, so whilst the above is a good guideline - don't be worried that your height will need to affect your choice in length! We have a range of lengths in store - and whilst we can't carry samples of each dress in every length, we can establish which length you prefer and put in a custom order in your chosen style.
FairyGothMother has a full selection of tea length wedding dresses in our London showroom. Available in petite, curvy and every size in between, we can make your special short wedding dress to exactly suit your style whether that is Ivory classic lace, red sequins or black silk!
]]>A tea length wedding dress can suit brides who want to evoke a vintage or retro vibe with their wedding outfit. Or maybe you are having a casual garden, beach or park wedding and a shorter dress would fit the day just perfectly. Many older brides or brides who have been married before also go for a tea-length or shorter wedding dress style rather than a long traditional length gown and veil.
A dress that falls below the knee and above the ankle is very flattering and feminine. You can show off your legs a little too. And then there are the shoes. We adore shoes and all bridal accessories. With a long wedding dress, the shoes are hidden and hardly seen at all. With a short bridal gown, you can see those satin heels or bejeweled bridal shoes all day long. High heels, ballet flats, or even cool boots can change the look of your dress. Many mature brides like to go for elegant heels for the ceremony, then change to more casual shoes for dancing at the wedding reception. The tea length dress looks great with any style of shoe.
Tea-length bridal dresses come in so many styles, and depending on the fabric, neckline, and sleeves, they can become more formal or casual depending on the look you want to create. If you want a more sexy, flirty style, a short dress might be for you. If you still want elegance and sophistication, then a lace bodice, long sleeves or diamond accessories can take you there.
Another wonderful advantage with short to mid-length wedding dresses is you can wear them again. Just change the accessories and dress it down, and you have your outfit for a night at the opera, a festive Christmas party or a summery outdoors event. We love sustainable fashion and also say your dress deserves more than one spin on the dance floor.
We are specialists when it comes to beautiful tea length and short wedding dresses. Our collection is extensive, and we are adding new designer styles from the UK and international designers every season. We have made to order or off the rack options in a range of fashionable colors from ivory, white, blush and cream to more adventurous shades like blue, black, lavender and green.
You might not even realise you want a tea length dress until you try one on! We would like to invite you to our studio showroom, which is exclusive and by appointment only. The FairyGothMother team will show you the latest dresses and help you find "the one" for your walk down the aisle. We also have longer dresses so you can compare the styles. Drop us email or book in for an appointment and we can talk to you soon.

Think romantic, floaty styles influenced by vintage glamour while being fresh and modern. A Boho bridal gown is all about feminine silhouettes with classic feminine fabrics and details. Perfect for a festival themed wedding, a beach or more traditional venue.
Can you get any more Boho than star and moon embroidered lace. This unusual Boho wedding gown is shown in vintage pale grey but can also be made in ivory or rose pink gold with ivory overlay. Mixing modern fabric with classic Bohemian styling we think this gown would look as beautiful in the local town hall or a rustic barn wedding.
Modern luxury lace made, this romantic ethereal Boho wedding dress is ideally suited to the Boho bride who wants a traditional gown with a modern romantic edge.
Simple doesn’t need to be boring. Trimmed in luxury lace, this simple modern Boho wedding dress is all about the detailing. Relaxed and romantic, it is hard to imagine a Boho bridal gown more perfect.
Looking for a bigger silhouette? This romantic floaty Boho wedding dress has a larger than average train paired with a simple and exquisite bodice detailing and sweet thin straps.
Plunge necklines and simple tulle skirt make this Boho wedding dress the perfect centre piece of any Boho wedding.
FairyGothMother has introduced the Boho Collection in Spring 2021 to their London Showroom. The new collection features luxury lace and ethereal romantic tulle, plunge necklines, pretty soft trains and relaxed detailing. Simple need not mean predictable though, vintage themed wedding can be dramatic and glamourous too! Designs work well in sizes 8 - 28, and can be made to order in a range of colour options too.
A tea length wedding dress covers all dresses with skirts that finish anywhere between the ankle and the knee. Short tea length wedding dresses, especially those with full skirts and petticoats are often referred to as a Fifties style wedding dress. Longer tea length wedding dresses that finish just below the ankle bone might also be called ballerina length wedding gowns. In practice, most FairyGothMother tea length bridal gowns can be made to order in a choice of length. What is ballerina length on one bride after all might be full length on another!
A shorter wedding dress works well for brides in smaller venues, those who are travelling abroad and those who feel their body shape suits the shorter lengths better than a full length bulky gown with train. Short wedding dresses are equally at home in a civil ceremony at the Town Hall, in Las Vegas or even on a beach.
What will the groom be wearing? Will a shorter dress compliment the look and style of the wedding you have planned? Many tea length bridal gowns work well in colour as well as traditional Ivory or White. If your partner is wearing a striking colour maybe you would like to incorporate elements of their colours into your look.
Are you having bridesmaids? Will they be in long or short gowns. If they will also be in a shorter silhouette, then you might want to consider having a length that compliments their gowns whilst still being the main event at the wedding. Ballerina length gowns work well with knee length cocktail bridesmaids or slim silhouette full length gowns. Shorter fifties length wedding dresses would also work well with full length bridesmaids or even something alternative like a jumpsuit.
London's award winning tea length wedding dress specialists FairyGothMother offer wedding dresses in sizes 8 - 30. Wedding dresses are available off the peg or to order. The showroom is open by appointment only so that you have our undivided attention and the entire space to yourself for you and your bridal party. The London showroom is based in SE8, a short walk or bus ride from Canada Water on the Jubilee line as well as numerous buses from Central London. You can even park along Grinstead Road for free!
Once we restart appointments the following describes the process we will follow with regards those appointments...
We are operating with the NHS Covid-19 Trace app, and recommend you install the app on your mobile phone before your appointment with us, so you can scan in when you arrive. However, this is not mandatory on you.
We are also listening to our customers on their appointment experience with us, and where it is safe for us to do, we will make subtle changes but remain within Government guidelines.
• Until conditions return to "normality" there will be larger gaps between appointments to allow for thorough cleaning, for all our safety. This means there will be a lot fewer weekly appointments for some time.
• Please arrive on time. We will be unable to let you in should you arrive early as we will still be with another bride or undertaking a thorough cleaning process afterward the previous appointment. Likewise, if you arrive late we will have to finish your appointment on time to allow for cleaning before the next appointment.
• On arrival you will be asked to use hand sanitiser.
• We will also ask you to "scan in" if you have the new NHS Covid-19 app on your mobile. However, this is not compulsory.
• Wherever possible we will maintain a 2 metre distance for all brides and their guest. The Government suggests face coverings when this is not possible, so with this in mind we will require you to wear a face covering whilst in the fitting room. Our staff will also wear face covering whenever they need to be close to you.
• We will be allowing a maximum of two (2) guest with you. We would ask that your guest also follows our conditions of entry. We are unable to offer any flexibility on guest numbers currently.
• Your family and friends need not miss out on the appointment though; you are welcome to use Facetime or another online video source on our wifi network so other guests can attend virtually. If you need help with this, please let us know in advance.
• We request both bride and guests not to touch gowns unless trying on. We would kindly ask that you allow our staff to handle all the gowns for you. This is to maximise the cleanliness of dresses that are tried on. We appreciate this is not ideal.
• Please bring with you a face covering for when we cannot maintain the appropriate social distance (your guest will need one too). You will not be permitted to try on gowns without one.
• Dressing rooms and our studio will will be cleaned after each appointment to minimise cross contamination. Tried on gowns will be treated between appointments to sanitise them.
• At this time, we are unable to offer any refreshments
• Bathroom facilities are available, if required, but with strict guidelines on use and cleaning.
• Our staff will only attend work if they feel well and healthy and are not showing any symptoms, we would ask you to do the same with regard your appointment.
PLEASE NOTE: All of the above is subject to possible change dependent on instructions and advice from the Government.

Yes. The dress above for just £30.
With Covid-19 stopping us opening currently, we are taking the opportunity to clear dresses, corsets and more to make room for our upcoming new collections. And you don't have to be getting married to buy some of these items that will look good anytime! Parties. St. Valentine's Day guys!
Click on the links below...
As we say goodbye to 2020 and move into 2021, we have an exciting all new website for you. We hope you agree it is easier to spot dresses arriving in the next few months, those in the current collection and even the dresses you can purchase from home if you have a wedding to plan and like us are stuck in Tier 4!
We haven't been sleeping with all these lockdowns though, the hunt has been on for the very best most exciting dresses, in the best fabric from the best designers.
Some designs coming to the UK for the very first time and exclusive to us!
We may be waiting for Covid restrictions to lift but as soon as they do you can be sure we will be opening appointments back us for you. In the meantime if you need anything do pop us an email or message.
Buy any of our corsets on the website and we'll include an appropriate corset size bag with each corset purchased. Even Sale ones!
Brides and grooms are still having their "big days" despite the affects of the pandemic.
Feedback we've been getting has in the vast majority of cases been very positive. With most couples saying a big plus has been on the overall cost of the day. Many saying the savings can be spent elsewhere on their homes or just saved for any rainy days that come along!
The biggest saving has been for inviting smaller numbers and saving on catering costs, and hence not needing as big a venue as they would have needed and saving there too. Quite a few live streaming the actual ceremony.
We're also getting feedback that even with the strict conditions being applied by venues, a great day can still be had, and not one has told us they wouldn't have done on their experience.
So if you aren't clear on the current rules on weddings during then there is guidance from government for all four nations of the UK.
If you'd like to read the full government guidance for England, as of 14th October, 2020, then click here. Guidance for the devolved nations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales can be found on each devolved government's website.
]]>It is common today that bridal retailers, like ourselves only carry sample dresses allowing you to choose your dress, which then needs to be ordered to be made from the dress' designers. From order date to being ready can be as much as 6 months!
*80% of brides asked didn't know this.*
So if you are getting married from July 2021 on you really should be in a position to order your dress now. If you are getting married before that then all is not lost, see below.
We have lots of useful information for brides to be on our Resources for You page on our web site, including a handy little tool that you can enter your wedding date into, and it will tell you ideally when you should be looking for that dress you have always wanted, and when you need to be placing your order to have it made in time.
We also have advice on how to get the best from your appointments when looking for your dress.

If you've decided to marry in the next few months then we can help. We always have a good selection of dresses available for immediate purchase.
]]>We've been running appointments now for the last three weeks, and the feedback we've received from the brides that have come in is that they feel secure and are happy with the procedures we have in place for their safety and ours.
Our current appointment schedule allows us ensure that our studio, dresses, furniture and anything handled is sanitised between appointments., and we are using the latest UVC light cleaning procedures that are used in hospital operating theatres. As such, we ask that brides do not arrive early for their appointment. When the sanitising is in progress, not even our staff are allowed in our studio during this cleansing Once complete there is no effect on anyone entering the studio. However, we do ask you to use sanitiser on entry and to wear a mask covering mouth and nose.
As well as feeling safe with us, the brides-to-be have nearly all complimented us on the fact that we are not pushing a sale with them. We know that for many, a wedding dress is a big expenditure so you need to feel totally comfortable that the dress is for you before purchasing. The only thing we push is that dresses can take 5-6 months to be with us from the designers once ordered, so time should be considered a major driver in your decision making.
If your wedding is within six months we always have a selection of dresses available for immediate purchase also.

]]>The latest from the Bridal show this week. If you want WOW factor, this is the dress for you.
]]>Don't miss out!
This is the second time in two years to be awarded Best Bridal Boutique in South London, having been awarded the same title last year in the Greater London Enterprise Awards.
It's the result of us being totally committed to helping our customers find their dream dress, so why not come and see us in 2019 to experience our great service.
We stock between 90 and 100 styles at any one time and these change twice a year/season. If we stocked one of each size from 6 to 24, that’s 900 dresses without considering off the peg and sample sale gowns. 900 dresses take up a LOT of space. We have a lovely large showroom, but it wouldn’t feel spacious with all that stock!
If we had one of each size of tea length wedding dress for each style we would have to limit our number of different styles to 9 or 10 to maintain the value of investment in dresses. Now we think all our brides are unique, and 9 or 10 styles just isn’t enough to choose from! Most of the styles comes in 2 to 70 colourways and 5 different lengths too, which adds to the possible combinations.
Our dresses retail between £495 and £1600. For ease, let’s put the average at £1000. One of each size across 100 styles is a 1000 dresses twice a year and over a million pounds of retail samples. Contrary to popular belief samples are full version dresses and cost the same as dresses ordered for our brides. Even if we had the room, for a small business that’s a great deal of money tied up in dresses. Our accountant wouldn’t be very happy with us!
So what do we do?
We aim to keep three different sizes in each tea length wedding dress design. With clever clips and pins all brides will have a wide selection of gowns to try. Dresses that prove more popular will end up having more sizes kept in stock and ones that get less attention move into the sample sale. This is how we balance our hope that all brides from petite to curvy can try their dream tea length wedding dress.
As most dresses can be customised, brides can select their choice of style, choose colour options, add or remove sleeves, change belts and length options so they end up with a dress unique to them. Did you know over half our dresses can come in a variety of colours from pale pastel options to red, black or green!
]]>Isabella is a simple elegant Mikado wedding dress, the full length version of our popular tea length Veronica dress. She has a Mikado full skirt with train and is finished with a simple bow at the waist.
Veronica is tea length Mikado wedding gown with waist bow and full circle skirt. Also available in shorter Fifties and longer ballerina tea lengths.
Katie is a simple light weight Ivory Mikado satin wedding dress with embellished bodice, belt and full lined skirt. Add a petticoat for a fuller skirt or to add a splash of colour.
]]>2021 and 2022 brides this is for you. How is the planning going? Our short tea length wedding dresses and full-length vintage wedding dresses all take around 5-6 months to arrive from date of order. As the summer slots fill up this can become 6-7 months!
As London’s only specialist short and tea length wedding dress company, now is a good time to book your first appointment. This gives you time and space to return for a second appointment if required before you decide on which wedding dress will be the ‘one’. This then allows for time for alterations once your own very special dress arrives with us.
To give you an idea, a dress ordered in September 2021 will arrive into us around February/March 2022. A Spring bride then has a good number of weeks to finalise accessories and organise alterations. While gowns ordered in December 2020 would arrive with us around May/June 2021, and dresses not ordered until January would arrive in July 2021.
We know some brides like to delay choosing their gown as they plan to lose weight and want to leave measuring to the last minute. It is possible to get some dresses more quickly some of the time (with a rush fee), but if you are thinking this, you should know that most designs can be taken in 2-3 dress sizes on arrival by a skilled seamstress.
Not enough time you say. All is not lost. We do keep a selection of dresses in stock that can be purchased off-the-peg and taken on the day, or even ordered online, but you will have more flexibility to have the exact dress you want, in your choice of colour, length and finish, if you allow time to order though.
Nina is a tea length vintage inspired lace dress with off the shoulder neckline and trimmed with a satin bow belt. She has a full circle skirt, perfect for those t-length wedding dress twirls and can come in a choice of lengths including full length. You can even add colour petticoats to your vintage inspired retro gown or perhaps have coloured covered buttons and belt.

Or mix it up, and have ivory lace and a coloured gown. FairyGothMother specialise in short tea length wedding dresses in London. How would you customise yours?

Not all brides choose to wear white or Ivory. Many of our brides choose to customise their dress with colour. Most of our standard images show our collection in Ivory or muted colours, so we understand it can be difficult to picture how dresses can be customised. This lovely bride wears a red sequin strapless wedding gown with corseted bodice and full skirt. See the bottom image for how she started the day and hid those sequins for a big reveal later!
Ivory lace over bright pink satin and pink belt give a modern twist on this colour tea length wedding dress. We love alternative wedding dresses. We really do have brides with the best taste!
Colour can be subtle. This bride chose a pale blue with her ‘Wendy’ Fifties length wedding dress with sleeves. This pale blue wedding dress makes us think of Alice in Wonderland wedding themes. Coloured 50's style wedding dresses can be customised to suit you. Add sleeves, fuller skirts, or change the length to perfectly suit your taste.
If you are going to add a colour to your short 50’s style wedding dress, then red is a good way to go. Here our bride has a red under dress and ivory Swiss spotted tulle with pretty lace applique over dress with capped sleeves. Mixing bright colour and traditional ivory is a popular choice with many of our brides.
