Nicola & James

Surrounded by her bridesmaids and flower girls, Nicola celebrates with James on their wedding day. Bespoke Anya dresses and carefully matched floral details brought colour, personality and elegance to a bridal party that looked beautiful together.

Nicola came to me after she had already found her wedding dress and asked me to design dresses for her bridesmaids Sian, Jo, Tracy and Valentina. I created Anya, bespoke bridesmaid dresses in a beautiful rich red, and we worked together to make sure the whole bridal party complemented Nicola’s wedding vision.

I particularly loved bringing the smaller details together, including the red floral details worn by the flower girls, which tied them beautifully to the bridesmaids. Although I wasn’t responsible for Nicola’s wedding gown, she was still one of my brides and very much part of my boutique. Thank you, Nicola, for trusting me with your bridal party.

Love Patricia xx

My Journey: Thank you so much, Patricia, for creating the most beautiful bespoke bridesmaids' dresses for Sian, Jo, Tracy and Valentina. From the moment we met, you made every appointment feel special and I always looked forward to visiting. Even though I hadn't bought my wedding dress from you, you always made me feel welcome and treated me like one of your brides. The girls loved their dresses and looked absolutely stunning on the wedding day. I especially loved the way you tied everything together, including matching the flower girls' flowers to complement the bridesmaids' dresses perfectly. Everybody commented on how beautiful the girls looked, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything came together. Thank you again for all your help, kindness and support throughout our wedding journey.
