Is it not a poor wedding without so much as a flower

Flowers have historically held an individual meaning and love messages were sent containing a personal secret symbolic language. The innumerable variations of each individual flower make almost every bridal arrangement unique. Choose your wedding flowers that convey a special symbolic meaning for you both and the secret memory of that, forever known only to you. Myrtle traditionally symbolises fertility and the late Diana Princess of Wales had a piece of myrtle from Queen Victoria's plant placed in her bouquet. Carefully choose the flowers for your bouquet so long after the flowers and their scent have faded your memory will be uplifted by remembering their name.

Ballerina bridesmaid

I designed and made this dress wanting to create an essence of a traditional English summer wedding. I made the dress in white satin with a 5 layer organzana overskirt, which was worn with a full hooped petticoat to give form without adding unecessary bulk. (Shown without hooped petticoat). It has elements of a traditional bridesmaid gown in the full skirt and lined sleeveless bodice, the lace up back bodice gave the gown a contemporary twist. The shoes were white satin pumps. Because the white dress provides the blank canvas any coordinating shade or colour can be worked with the wedding colour theme through floral accesories etc.
