Creating Rhiannon Bailey’s London Wedding Look

We were so delighted to create Rhiannon Bailey’s bespoke wedding look for her Marylebone Town Hall wedding to Tom Trotter in London. From the very beginning, the process was a wonderful collaboration between Rhiannon’s thoughts and ideas and Andrea’s design vision, resulting in a contemporary bridal look that felt entirely personal to her.

Rhiannon came to us with a clear sense of what she loved, and it was such a pleasure to bring those ideas to life. Together, we explored the balance between something clean and modern, while still feeling soft, romantic and unmistakably bridal. The result was a beautiful set of bridal separates, designed to be worn together as one effortless look.

A contemporary take on bridal separates

The look began with a silk satin bodice, featuring a softly structured peplum that created a beautiful shape through the waist. Paired with this was a flowing silk skirt, finished with a layer of silk chiffon for added movement and softness.

We loved the way the separates worked together. The bodice gave the look a clean, contemporary feel, while the flowing skirt brought a sense of ease and movement. It was a combination that felt modern without losing any of the romance of a wedding dress.

Every element was designed and made bespoke, with Andrea sketching the look and working closely with Rhiannon to refine the details. Our London team then brought the design to life, carefully making the dress and ensuring every part of the finished look felt just right.

From sketch to fitting

One of the loveliest parts of creating a bespoke dress is seeing the design evolve throughout the process. From the initial sketches to the toile fitting, each stage gave us the opportunity to refine the fit, shape and proportions, while making sure the final look reflected Rhiannon’s vision.

The toile fitting was an important part of this process, allowing us to work through the details before creating the final silk pieces. It was such a pleasure to see the design take shape and to work collaboratively with Rhiannon along the way.

We also designed a bespoke birdcage veil to complete the look. The veil added a beautiful finishing touch, bringing a little more structure and personality to the contemporary separates.

Rhiannon & Tom’s Marylebone Town Hall wedding

There was something particularly special about creating a look for a Marylebone Town Hall wedding. The historic London register office has a long association with memorable weddings, and its elegant architecture makes a beautiful setting for a contemporary bridal look.

Rhiannon’s wedding was a wonderful opportunity to create something that felt both modern and timeless. Her bespoke separates were paired with Florrie shoes, the Polly Slingback, a beautiful finishing detail that complemented the soft, sheer movement of the skirt.

Rhiannon looked absolutely stunning! The silk satin bodice, flowing skirt and birdcage veil came together so beautifully, creating a look that felt elegant, effortless and completely her own.

We loved being part of the process and seeing Rhiannon’s ideas develop into something so special. Bespoke design is always at its best when it becomes a true collaboration, and this was exactly that.

And there’s more to come…

We’re so excited that our work with Rhiannon doesn’t end here. We’re currently designing her looks for their gorgeous November wedding in Cape Town, and we can’t wait to share more of what we’re creating.

Stay tuned to see what comes next…
