Michele & Andy

Michele and Andy on their wedding day

Michele and Andy celebrate beside the coast, with her custom-made Patricia Barclay gown caught beautifully in motion. A joyful image from a day Michele described simply as “absolutely amazing.”


Michele knew she had found her perfect dress when she came to see me. Her gown was custom-made especially for her, and we also created dresses for her bridesmaids, Hannah and Christy, bringing the bridal party together for the day.

What I love most looking back at Michele’s photographs is just how happy she looks. Her dress moves with her rather than wearing her — exactly as a wedding dress should.

Love Patricia xx


  • My Journey: When I first met Patricia, I just knew I was going to find my perfect dress — and I did. My wedding dress was absolutely gorgeous and everything I had imagined. It felt beautiful to wear and gave me exactly the bridal look I had hoped for. Patricia also created the perfect custom-made dresses for my two bridesmaids, Hannah and Christy, bringing the whole bridal party together beautifully. Thank you again, Patricia, for helping create my gorgeous dress and for bringing everything together for such a special day.

  • Event Date: 04 Sep 2011

  • Wedding Dress: Michele wore a custom-made Patricia Barclay gown with a fitted bodice, asymmetric shoulder detail and a wonderfully fluid skirt formed from layers of softly ruffled fabric. It was a dress designed for movement — and this photograph captures that beautifully.

  • Designer: Patricia Barclay - The Signature Bridal Experience

  • Bridesmaid Gown: Michele’s bridesmaids, Hannah and Christy, wore custom-made Patricia Barclay gowns in soft purple chiffon. Their flowing silhouettes and floral shoulder detailing complemented Michele’s gown beautifully while allowing each part of the bridal look to have its own identity.

  • Testimonials: "Dear Patricia, Thank you for all your help in creating my gorgeous dress and the beautiful bridesmaid dresses too. We had an absolutely amazing day and can’t thank you enough for everything you did. I had so many comments on how gorgeous my dress looked and will definitely be recommending your gorgeous shop. Thanks again, Love, Michele xx"
