Claire & Ross

Claire and Ross on their Wedding Day

Claire wore a bespoke Lily Barclay wedding dress designed exclusively by Patricia Barclay. Elegant lace sleeves, clean lines and timeless styling created a beautifully understated bridal look, perfectly captured in this romantic photograph with Ross on their wedding day.


Claire came to me with a clear vision of the wedding dress she wanted, and together we took that vision from sketch to dress. I designed her gown exclusively for her, creating the clean, understated silhouette she imagined alongside the beautiful lace sleeves and low V back that were so important to her.

The finished gown was named Claire after the bride it had been created for.

Love Patricia xx


  • My Journey: I first met Patricia in September 2011 and shared my vision of the perfect wedding dress. From the very beginning, Patricia understood exactly what I wanted and transformed my ideas into a gown that was even more beautiful than I had imagined. My dress was created exclusively for me and was later named Claire. Made with a beautiful silk crepe skirt and soft Italian lace bodice, it featured elegant three-quarter-length sleeves, a bateau neckline and the low V back I had always dreamed of. Silk-covered buttons ran the full length of the train, adding the perfect finishing touch. When I wore my dress on my wedding day, I felt amazing. Everyone commented on how beautiful it looked, and it was everything I had hoped for and more. Thank you, Patricia, for creating my perfect wedding dress.
