A classic 1940’s style wedding dress designed for today’s modern bride! The dress, designed and made by Ryley and Flynn, incorporates the traditional padded shoulders iconic of the 40’s with a nipped in waist and ruched bust. Made in ivory crepe fabric, it features a delicate, feminine lace panel around the waist and accenting shoulders. The panelled skirt flows into a small train at the back for a modern look. Ryley and Flynn create luxury, bespoke, handcrafted wedding dresses. All of the dresses are made with love in Staffordshire and examples of their creations can be found at www.ryleyandflynn.co.uk

The poppies on the veil embroidered in delicate lines with fine threads represent the fragility and preciousness of life and human bonds, as relevant now as they ever were. My great-grandfather Robert served in WW1 and we went to visit his grave where he fell in Cambre, Northern France, passing fields of vibrant red poppies as we travelled. Whenever I see a poppy I think of great-grandfather Robert and feel a poignant connection to that young brave man I never got to meet” As a former fashion designer, I now design and make wedding veils from my studio in Colchester. I’ve always had a fascination with surface decoration and creating wedding veils allows me to explore my passion, with embroidery, beading, appliqué and dyeing. I can embellish a veil with subtle detailing to out-and-out statement, in fact anything and everything is possible! For more information please take a look at my website: www.sashandveil.co.uk
