Due to the growing demand for our bespoke bridal orders, we’ll no longer be taking on bridal alterations from January.

If you’re a bride still looking for alteration support, please do get in touch — I’m more than happy to recommend a few talented specialists who will look after you beautifully.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with their gowns this year. It’s been such a privilege to be part of your wedding journey. 🤍

Sometimes you come across a small Irish business that just makes you smile — and I had to share this one.

My friend runs , the most gorgeous stationery brand, and her pieces are just beautiful… thoughtful, simple, and made with such care. If you love quality paper goods, cards, or little gifts that feel personal, have a look at her website: acharastationery.com

Nothing to do with fashion or weddings — just supporting a brilliant Irish maker doing lovely work. 💛

I’ve always loved vintage style, especially the 1940s and 1950s.
The shapes, the structure, the simplicity — there’s a clarity to those decades that really inspires my work.

You’ll often see little hints of that era in my pieces: a neckline, a silhouette, or the way a fabric is cut. Not a full vintage look, just small details that keep things timeless.

Did you know?
Silk tulle is actually stronger than polyester. It might look delicate and floaty, but silk tulle has an incredible natural strength. That’s one of the reasons I love working with it — it drapes beautifully, feels so light and yet has the resilience to hold shape and detail in a way that synthetic fabrics can’t quite match.

It’s proof that something can be both strong and soft at the same time.

There’s something special about the way silk drapes.
It doesn’t just sit on the body — it moves with you. It has a lovely natural weight that gives shape without any stiffness.
From a maker’s point of view, it’s one of the most rewarding fabrics. Once it’s cut and pressed properly, it behaves beautifully. From a wearer’s point of view, it feels light, cool, and effortless — the kind of fabric you forget you’re wearing.
There’s a quiet elegance to silk… nothing over the top, just a gentle, natural flow that always looks right.

There’s something so timeless about a sweeping marble staircase — the curves, the height, the echo of each step. Sometimes the setting tells as much of the story as the gown itself.

Finally settled on our white tubes for our silk pillowcase packaging. It is 100% recyclable as well as looking lovely! 🥰

Why Silk Cot Sheets Are a Game-Changer

Silk isn’t just a luxury for adults — it’s genuinely brilliant for babies and toddlers too. If you’re thinking about upgrading your little one’s bedding, here are a few reasons why silk cot sheets are worth it:

✨ Gentle on delicate skin
Silk is naturally soft and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for babies with sensitive or reactive skin. It helps reduce irritation and is kind to eczema-prone skin.

✨ Helps prevent frizz and baby bed-head
If your little one wakes up with a halo of tangles, silk can make a big difference. The smooth surface reduces friction, which means softer, easier-to-manage hair in the morning.

✨ Naturally temperature-regulating
Silk keeps babies cool in warmer months and cosy in cooler ones. It helps prevent overheating — a huge comfort when they’re trying to settle.

✨ More hygienic
Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites and bacteria, creating a cleaner, safer sleep environment.

✨ Long-lasting quality
It washes beautifully, holds its shape, and stays silky soft.

How to Know It’s Time to Replace Your Silk Pillowcase

This is a question I get asked all the time. How long your silk pillowcase lasts depends on how you take care of it and how often you use it.
If you notice any of the following, it might be time for a new one:

🌸 The silk has lost its sheen and feels slightly rough to the touch.
🌸 The colour has faded or looks patchy in areas that get the most contact.
🌸 Tiny pulls, thinning fabric, or seams beginning to give way.
🌸 If you use your pillowcase every day for roughly 18 mnoths then it would be a good idea to replace.
