JUST FOR YOU Here at Erica Stacey Bridalwear, we believe that you don’t have to follow current trends and craft our gowns for each individual bride. We understand that every bride is different and we can make any style, design, or dress size in any colour for your big day. If you would like something different, why not consider the below to create a bespoke wedding dress? Customise your mother’s or grandmother’s wedding dress: Using a family heirloom and adding your own ideas to it can be a special way to design your own dress. It can be based on the original design or completely remodelled like our real bride, Hollie. She brought her mum’s 1981 wedding dress, and we used the main fabric as her dress lining, so it was inside, and only she knew it was there. We created a beautiful champagne strapless gown with a soft chiffon balloon sleeve overdress, embellished with trailing floral embroidery and motifs. The overlayer could be shortened and worn at other special events, and maybe at a future family wedding! Alternative-coloured wedding dresses with floral prints and embroidery: Why not choose a colour other than ivory? Our real bride, Marion, chose a soft ombre grey silk georgette with bespoke floral and leafy embroidery in the most exquisite colour palette. She wanted us to design and handcraft a unique heirloom wedding gown that can be passed down to her daughter in years to come. Interesting shapes and embellished sleeves: Why not choose a wedding dress with sleeves? It could be floaty angel sleeves, cap versions, off-the-shoulder or a removable pair of sleeves that will change your look after the ceremony or for your first dance. Our bride, Louise, chose beautiful beaded embroidery sleeves with trailing leaves and flowers, which complemented the Art Deco-style beaded trim around the hemline. It was perfect for her summer wedding but would also suit a candlelit winter wedding.
