Floral Joy! The only way to describe Vanessa’s gown. This was a dress I wish I had been able to keep for myself, I adored it so much ❤️

Sometimes I have brides worry that if they don’t wear white then they might not be bridal enough. Although I understand, in my own opinion it couldn’t be further from the truth!

Here are a few things that make sure we know you’re the bride:

1. You’re the one actually getting married! Maybe giving your partner a kiss and saying ‘I do!’ (That really depends on your ceremony)

2. As part of the couple you really are the main highlight, and everyone has attended to share in your love and celebration. The colour you’re wearing doesn’t change this fact! It doesn’t make you less bridal!

3. Your wedding is your opportunity to wear your dream outfit. On the day the chances are that you will have pulled out all of the stops and be glowing! White isn’t for everyone, and that’s totally okay, we still know you’re the bride!

I love dressing up, and I love special outfits. For some that means white and ivory tones, and for others it doesn’t. There isn’t a right or wrong way to have a wedding ❤️

I can’t wait until we wallpaper this wall ❤️

This is my 10yr anniversary Rosie Red dress, I think. She’s a sample I couldn’t get out of my head, using a red rose print organza I had held on to for so long (nearly was my wedding dress fabric!) With my Stormy Seas overskirt, and my vintage petticoats underneath, she has so many of my signature details. Dramatic sleeves, bows, structure with softness ❤️

Very sadly today’s long awaited photoshoot has been rained off, but I can’t wait to rearrange so she can have her moment in the spotlight ❤️

A new lady: pearl textured, lace layered, divine sleeves, tulle luxe, and of course, bows ❤️

My studio is in chaos. Only yesterday Tom said it looked like I need DIY SOS in here. I’m planning on wallpapering, new furniture, new organising, new floor tiles. A big declutter. I have deadlines (both personal and professional), so what better time to allow myself some creative freedom to create some brand new work?

This is the first piece, with just a few sneak previews for you. As always, there is a mix and match element. Do you want it sleeveless? Remove the sleeves. Bows aren’t for you? Remove the top skirt. How about wearing the corset underneath the vintage inspired underskirt for a very 50s shape? There are so many possibilities ❤️

It feels vulnerable sharing something new, I hope you love her ❤️

Right at the start of Rosie Red, the first photoshoot I organised. It’s odd because it’s like looking at a totally different person, and yet also like nothing’s changed ❤️

This week I am working on some new samples in preparation for a photoshoot next Monday. A week today. My pieces take so many hours to make that I’m not sure what will get done, but I am desperate to put some new work out in the world. Let’s see what I can do in a week! ❤️

I do miss the luxury of new collections and photoshoots, life is so full and chaotic now. Not in a bad way, most of the time, but it can be hard to catch your breath. For now I’m going to look at a cropped corset, floral shoulders, red silk bows, large roses, and see where I go ❤️

This feels like a very long time ago, in truth I suppose it was. Back at the start where things were so fresh and exciting, not just as a designer starting out, but as a young adult in my 20s. Life felt pretty exciting. Or at least that’s how I remember it.

The song I’ve chosen is really relevant. It’s the piece an old friend chose for my first fashion film, one made for my university final project. It holds really special memories. I adored my time at university, it’s a time I get quite romantic about and often miss.

A few weeks before my 34th birthday, and during my 10th year of Rosie Red, I want to reshare this picture. The photo I feel started everything off, the one at its core. It has magic, whimsy, romance, art; all things I really hold dear. It was taken by , and inspired by . The last thing I did before the pandemic hit us 5 years ago and we were locked down, was to go and see Tim Walker’s exhibition in London. That was true magic ❤️

My gorgeous British Citizen, Shuyuan 💜

Shuyuan was a total ray of sunshine. She was truly wonderful to work with. I created this lilac and purple dream for her party to celebrate getting her British Citizenship. It was such an honour to be asked ❤️

This first photo may be one of my fave wedding photos of all time. The drama, the romance, it looks straight out of an editorial ❤️

Creating a show stopping piece for Matt was such a joy. A highly embellished and beaded blazer, a veil with all of the detailing and my signature petals. This really was a perfect commission for me ❤️

Swipe through for more stunning joy, and there may even be a video to follow… ❤️

A list of things you won’t know about this day…

1. Making my own wedding dress was the easiest dress I have ever made

2. I hadn’t actually designed or decided on it up until a few weeks before. Which some people lost their minds over. I had however had my fabric, a 1950s floral upholstery for a few years prior, when I bought the bolt in an antique shop

3. If we had been married in a different location or season, by dress would’ve been entirely different too. This outfit just screamed Summer Garden Party

4. My biggest inspiration for it was a film called Paradise Hills. Anyone else seen it?

5. Being married in a heatwave was quite something. I had a shorter dress to change into (pictured) but I had some regrets about that…

6. I was absolutely boiled on the day, and when it came to change I just didn’t want to put on my underbust corset or my belt I had specially for the day. Which is totally fair enough, it didn’t stop me from having a great time, but I know I would prefer the way the dress had looked with this shape wear

7. Being married in 2022 meant we were still riding on the tail ends of Covid, on the day about 10-12 guests couldn’t make it

8. There are guests I wish we had ‘bumped up’ for the whole day, we were just too all over the place to even think of it

9. There are people I wish we had invited

10. There are people I wish we hadn’t invited

A bonus 11, we loved our wedding, BUT it wasn’t the best day of my life. I want to say that because there is so much pressure that it has to be. It doesn’t. They can be amazing, brilliant, and great days, but you don’t need all of that pressure. My best day is probably still 14th Feb 2019. This is up there though ❤️

A cloak and appliqué dreamland for Matt ❤️

I have to say, this piece made me a little hypocritical. I don’t offer alterations or customisations. There are so many reasons for this, can you guess any?

However, when lovely Matt got in touch with his vision board of elaborate and ornate suiting, I couldn’t say no! The truth is, in terms of traditional tailoring, I have only ever made one jacket, and that was at university. It turned out that Matt had already had a suit that he loved, but he had seen my work and wanted me to take it up a level, and to make a cloak for him to wear as veiling. As a lover of applique and beadwork, I had to say yes!

This ensemble took hours upon hours, and I loved every moment. Inside the jacket you will see we took out the original high street shop label and embroidered ‘Rosie Red’. Also, as requested we stitched in a very special and sentimental Viking ship charm and surrounded it by a blue heart 🩵

So much love went into it, and I can’t wait to see the photos from the big day! ❤️

Today I am teasing you with some textural images. These photographs represent hours and hours and hours of work. Starting with cutting all of the appliqués by hand, layering and working out placement, hand stitching each one in place, followed by beading and petals. This was truly a labour of love ❤️

When Matt came to me with his ideas, I was so excited. He had found me on Instagram and wanted me to help create his dream outfit. These are just a little taster of what we came up with ❤️

“Thank you so much! I had so many compliments and comments about the dress. Everyone thought it was amazing.  It was a magical day! Thank you for all you did for me!! The dress was absolutely amazing. I felt like a princess all day. Everyone loved it!“ ❤️

Kind words from my gorgeous bride Carrie. Working with my brides is such a joy, and seeing photos of the outfit in action always makes me so excited. Carrie was a bride that I never actually met in real life! All of our meetings and fittings were done over video call, it’s something I have a lot of experience in now! ❤️

My gorgeous bride Carrie in her Star Wars and Nature Witch inspired gown ❤️

Hours of appliqué, draping, a hidden forest green underskirt, and a leather belt inspired by Leia’s own. Just some of her special details. More coloured photos will follow!

Headdress by . I always refer my brides to Immy if they are looking for a really special headdress or veil. Immy freelances for me a couple of days a week which means she learns the gowns and the styles of each individual bride. It’s always a match made in heaven for our pieces to work together ❤️
